Laitue vireuse
Lactuca virosa · Acrid lettuce
Lactuca virosa, also known as bitter lettuce or wild lettuce, is a plant traditionally used in various folk medicine practices. It has been employed to address respiratory conditions such as pneumonia and coughs in some cultures. Scientific evidence regarding its medicinal uses is limited; studies focusing on Lactuca species have primarily highlighted their genetic diversity for lettuce breeding and the successful use of fecal microbiota transplantation in tortoises, with no direct evidence linking Lactuca virosa to specific health benefits. Safety concerns are currently non-existent, as there are no major issues recorded, though further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety. There are also no reported drug interactions associated with this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude souligne l'importance des espèces sauvages de Lactuca comme sources de variation génétique pour la sélection du chou-fleur, mais note leur sous-représentation dans les banques de gênes.
- L'étude rapporte un usage réussi du transplant d'microbiote fécal chez une tortue à talon méditerranéenne souffrant de problèmes digestifs chroniques.
- Le super-pangenome des espèces de Lactuca identifie de nouveaux QTL pour la résistance contre Bremia lactucae non présents dans le génome de référence.
- Les feuilles de Lactuca virosa sont couramment utilisées pour traiter les conditions respiratoires comme le bronchite et la toux.
- L'étude présente une nouvelle assemblée de référence de Lactuca virosa, facilitant les comparaisons avec d'autres espèces de Lactuca et fournissant des informations sur son expansion génomique et sa variation génétique.
