Description
Sara Milijanovic, leading nine colleagues, published a 2026 comparison of extracts from Gentiana dinarica, an endangered Balkan plant, grown wild and in laboratory culture. Chemical makeup can shift with growing conditions, so the team tested extracts from leaves and roots of both sources. They measured antioxidant, antibacterial, tumor-cell, and immune effects.
Cultured shoots carried more of two compound families and killed bacteria and tumor cells differently from wild leaves, while also flipping an immune response from calming to stimulating in spleen cells. Cultured roots lacked compounds found in wild roots yet scavenged free radicals most strongly. Effects could rise, fall, or vanish by source, so the authors urge detailed checks before cultured plants substitute for wild ones.
