Oil content, fatty acids profile, phenolic compounds and biological activity of the seeds from wild Medicago species growing in Iran
Background
Medicago is a significant genus of the Fabaceae family, and the most important species of this genus is M. sativa L., which is cultivated as fodder crops around the world. This study investigates the agro-morphological traits, the content of oils, fatty acids, condensed tannins, total triterpene saponins, and phenolic compounds, as well as biological activities across the seeds of 18 populations from six Iranian Medicago species (M. crassipes (Boiss.) E.Small, M. monantha (C.A.Mey.) Trautv., M. monspeliaca (L.) Trautv., M. orthoceras (Kar. & Kir.) Trautv., M. phrygia (Boiss. & Balansa) E.Small, and M. sativa).
Results
The findings reveal that seeds of M. sativa and M. phrygia have high oil (9.07 ± 0.05–10.64 ± 0.10%), linoleic acid (31.45 ± 0.54–38.67 ± 0.42%), quercetin (512.12 ± 4.20–574.76 ± 8.75 µg/g dry weight), and apigenin (170.12 ± 2.50–214.23 ± 4.63 µg/g dry weight) content, demonstrating significant antioxidant potential (108.45 ± 0.35–135.55 ± 0.40 μg/ml and 139.35 ± 0.75‒149.47 ± 1.40 μmol Fe+2/g dry weight). The seed oils exhibit significant antimicrobial activity against a range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of less than 2 mg/ml across all studied species and populations, indicating strong antibacterial capabilities. Among the species studied, M. sativa and M. phrygia demonstrated the lowest MIC values against the tested bacteria (0.418–0.954 mg/ml) and fungi (0.405–0.940 mg/ml).
Conclusions
The findings underscore the importance of these Medicago species in both breeding programs and the development of health-related products.
期刊介绍：
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed forum for the advancement and application to all fields of agriculture of modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technologies. The scope of this journal includes chemical and biochemical processes aimed to increase sustainable agricultural and food production, the evaluation of quality and origin of raw primary products and their transformation into foods and chemicals, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation. Of special interest are the effects of chemical and biochemical technologies, also at the nano and supramolecular scale, on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their environment, with the help of modern bioinformatics. Another special focus is the use of modern bioorganic and biological chemistry to develop new technologies for plant nutrition and bio-stimulation, advancement of biorefineries from biomasses, safe and traceable food products, carbon storage in soil and plants and restoration of contaminated soils to agriculture.
This journal presents the first opportunity to bring together researchers from a wide number of disciplines within the agricultural chemical and biological sciences, from both industry and academia. The principle aim of Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is to allow the exchange of the most advanced chemical and biochemical knowledge to develop technologies which address one of the most pressing challenges of our times - sustaining a growing world population.
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture publishes original research articles, short letters and invited reviews. Articles from scientists in industry, academia as well as private research institutes, non-governmental and environmental organizations are encouraged.
