Citrullus lanatus

Citrullus lanatus,通常称为西瓜,是一种原产于南非的植物。尽管传统医学没有记录这种植物的具体用途,但它在各种农业和烹饪领域中被利用过。科学研究表明,从Citrullus lanatus提取的levan衍生寡糖可以减少由Phytophthora capsici引起的病斑区域,但对Botrytis cinerea没有显示出显著的效果。此外,在西瓜中已鉴定出96个C2H2-ZFP基因,并观察到在不同非生物胁迫(如干旱和热-干旱组合)下其表达模式的变化,这可能会影响植物的生理反应。从Citrullus lanatus种子提取物合成了不同大小和生物学活性的铜氧化物、钴氧化物和锌氧化物纳米颗粒。尚未记录该植物存在重大安全问题或药物相互作用。
