Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores

13.0K
Plants often form mutualistic relationships with soil-dwelling fungi or bacteria to enhance their roots’ nutrient uptake ability. Root-colonizing fungi (e.g., mycorrhizae) increase a plant’s root surface area, which promotes nutrient absorption. While root-colonizing, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., rhizobia) convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), making nitrogen available to plants for various biological functions. For example, nitrogen is essential for the...

Transgenic Plants

7.3K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores

23.8K
Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.

Plant Tissues01:18

Plant Tissues

6.4K
Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissue systems made of various cell types that carry out specific functions. Different tissues work together to perform a unique function and form an organ. Organs working together form organ systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system. The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts of the plant,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetology
  • Ethnobotany

Background:

  • Plant-derived active ingredients are increasingly utilized in cosmetic formulations.
  • Herbal cosmetics offer advantages such as safety, broad skin compatibility, and fewer side effects compared to synthetic alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review significant plants and their extracts used in cosmetic applications.
  • To explore the efficacy of natural ingredients for various dermatological concerns.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases.
  • Keywords included 'skincare and plants,' 'cosmetics and plants,' 'natural and cosmetics,' and 'natural and skincare.'
  • Filters for clinical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews were applied.

Main Results:

  • Various plants and extracts are employed for skin care, scar treatment, skin whitening, anti-aging, sun protection, and managing acne and eczema.
  • Evidence for plant efficacy is primarily based on preclinical research, with limited clinical validation.
  • Onion, aloe, and tea tree oil have undergone more clinical testing than other plant extracts.

Conclusions:

  • Despite extensive research on natural products for skin health, robust clinical cosmeceutical trials remain scarce.
  • Further clinical investigations are essential to substantiate the efficacy of plant-based cosmetic ingredients.
  • Novel formulation technologies may enhance cosmeceutical benefits, necessitating further research and development.
