Profile and potential bioactivity of the miRNome and metabolome expressed in Malva sylvestris L. leaf and flower.

ABSTRACT: Malva sylvestris L. (common mallow) is a plant species widely used in phytotherapy and ethnobotanical practices since time immemorial. Characterizing the components of this herb might promote a better comprehension of its biological effects on the human body but also favour the identification of the molecular processes that occur in the plant tissues. Thus, in the present contribution, the scientific knowledge about the metabolomic profile of the common mallow was expanded. In particular, the phytocomplex of leaves and flowers from this botanical species and the extraction capacity of different concentrations of ethanol (i.e., 95%, 70%, 50%, and 0%; v/v in ddH₂O) for it were investigated by spectrophotometric and chromatographic approaches. In detail, 95% ethanol extracts showed
