Bois puant
Prunus padus · Bird Cherry
Prunus padus, commonly known as knotwood or bird cherry, is a traditional plant primarily found in Europe and Asia. While there are no specific traditional uses recorded for this plant across various cultures, its potential benefits have been explored through scientific research. Studies indicate that isoferulic acid from Prunus padus exhibits potent aphicidal activity against the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi), with enhanced efficacy observed when RNAi-mediated knockdown of detoxification genes is involved. Additionally, (+)-catechin from this plant has been shown to reduce survival and reproduction in bird cherry-oat aphids both in laboratory and field conditions by disrupting their detoxification pathways. The knotwood extract also contains higher levels of phenolic compounds and demonstrates better antioxidant activity compared to stemwood. Currently, there is no recorded evidence of significant safety concerns or drug interactions associated with Prunus padus. However, further research is needed to fully understand its potential applications and effects.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude présente la première assemblage du gène mitochondriaux de Prinsepia uniflora, offrant des insights sur ses relations évoluatives au sein de la famille des Rosacées.
- L'acide isoférylique de Prunus padus a montré une activité puissante contre l'aphis du cerisier et du blé (Rhopalosiphum padi), avec une efficacité améliorée par le knockdown génétique via RNAi des gènes de détoxification.
- (+)-Catéchine du Padus padus a réduit la survie et la reproduction de l'acarien blé-érable, perturbant les voies de détoxification dans des conditions both en laboratoire et en champ.
- L'extrait d'aulne (Prunus padus) contient des niveaux plus élevés de composés phénoliques et une activité antioxydante plus forte que celle du bois de l'arbre.
