Thermopsis
Thermopsis
Thermopsis is a genus of flowering plants, with Thermopsis lanceolata and Thermopsis turcica being notable species. While traditional uses for these plants are not well-documented in historical or cultural practices, recent scientific studies have shown promising results. From Thermopsis lanceolata seeds, eight new compounds were identified, one of which demonstrated significant antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea. Additionally, extracts from Thermopsis turcica flowers exhibited notable antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound healing properties. Two specific compounds (25 and 39) significantly promoted the growth of Triticum aestivum seedlings by enhancing various physiological activities. Laboratory studies also indicated that labile carbon addition could mitigate the negative effects of nitrogen on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization in certain plant species under controlled conditions. To date, no major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for Thermopsis.
