Bioactive compounds in extracts from short rotation willow shoots known as pharmaceuticals and experimental demonstration of biostimulation of maize plants by these chemical complexes.

ABSTRACT: Extracts from willow bark or leaves were shown to contain effective plant biostimulants and pharmaceutical compounds. Considering the limitation in the use of bark raw materials on large scale, here we analyzed the stimulatory effects of extracts from various organs of willow (Salix viminalis L) plants grown as short rotation shrub willow. Metabolomic analysis of water extracts from different organs (leaves, meristems, stems) of two triploid genotypes (Rába and Maros) revealed presence of bioactive compounds. Quantity of phenylpropanoids, flavones, flavonols, anthocyanins, aminobenzoate degradants, plant hormones and stylbenes varied between organs and genotypes. Several of these bioactive compounds are known as pharmaceuticals. Here we carried out phytostimulatory tests by using various e
