Technologie pěstování Kotvičníku zemního (Tribulus terrestris L.) a jeho využití
NEUMANN, Jaroslav
This bachelor thesis is about a plant named Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), its substances, which are contained and about its possible usage in medicine. Another chapters describes some substances which we can find in a whole plant. The most important substances are saponins, phytosterols and flavonoids. Saponins are most popular for their aphrodisiatic effects, flavonoids for fighting illnes and phytosterols for decreasing cholesterol in blood plasma. Quantity of these substances is highly dependent on the area where, or how the plant is grown and if elicitors were used. In the practical part I found out if tribulus is known amongst people and how to grow it in greenhouse.

BARTOŠ, Pavel
Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris L.) is an annual plant of the Zygophyllaceae family. Its medicinal properties have long been used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine to treat various diseases. It has been shown that active substances, among which we count steroid saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, phytosterols and alkaloids, have effects on reproduction, effects aphrodisiac, antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidant, diuretic, antidiabetic, cardiovascular and many other. The aim of this work was to verify the effect of elicitors on the content of selected active ingredients in Puncturevine. The elicitor in this work was acetylsalicylic acid of three different concentrations (10-3 mol.l-1, 10-4 mol.l-1, 10-5 mol.l-1) applied by spraying. Using high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were in fruits and stems determined the content of diosgenin, protodioscin, ruscogenin. For all three compounds was observed positive effect of the elicitor on their content.
