PINKER, Milan
Today, a well-known and widely used medicinal plant in both traditional and contemporary medicine is tribulus terrestris L. It is proven that the use of products from this plant has a positive effect on the treatment of various diseases. The products are mainly used for their aphrodisiac effects. Growing tribulus terrestris is not particularly difficult, practically everyone can grow it in plant containers, a greenhouse or in the garden. We use the harvested stacks in the form of tea, tincture or extract. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is focused on the technology of cultivation in field conditions. Furthermore, the effects of individual technologies on the content of steroid saponins, especially diosgenin and protodioscin, in the harvested product are investigated. After evaluating all findings, the most suitable cultivation technology will be recommended.

NEUMANN, Jaroslav
This diploma thesis focuses on the Tribulus terrestris and its cultivation in order to achieve the highest content of biologically active substances. Tribulus has its roots in Chinese traditional medicine and Indian Ayurveda. The monitored substances are protodioscin and diosgenin. These two substances are saponins which are known for many beneficial effects on human health. For example, protodioscin is widely used as a remedy for conception problems. Diosgenin has its use in the fight against cancer. Both of these substances are also used in fitness to increase muscle mass and strength. The most famous is protodioscin, which became famous thanks to the Bulgarian weightlifters. However, the mechanisms of action of protodioscin and, in fact, diosgenin in the human body are not completely known in terms of influencing hormones in our body. In the practical part of this work, acetylsalicylic acid and the commercial preparation NanoFyt Si? are used as an elicitor. Water control was used for control, which was carried out in the same way as elicitor sprays. It is statistically summarized in what concentration the elicitors act or do not act. Based on statistical results, the cultivation procedure is recommended.
