Onopordum acanthium L. (Asteraceae) is a plant native to southern Europe and southwestern Asia, but it is invasive in disturbed areas and agricultural fields around the world, causing many agronomic problems by interfering with crops or preventing animals from grazing on pastures. Allelopathy could be one of the reasons that this plant has spread over different continents. The aim of the present study was to bioprospect O. acanthium leaf extracts through the isolation and purification of… 
Traditional Medicine Plant, Onopordum acanthium L. (Asteraceae): Chemical Composition and Pharmacological Research
TLDR
The anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and cardiotonic properties of the plant have been confirmed by pharmacological experiments with extracts and individual compounds using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods.
Asteraceae family: a review of its allelopathic potential and the case of Acmella oleracea and Sphagneticola trilobata
Abstract Asteraceae family is as an interesting target for researching natural alternatives for crop protection. Many species from this family grow as weeds, and some of them can influence the

TLDR
The anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and cardiotonic properties of the plant have been confirmed by pharmacological experiments with extracts and individual compounds using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods.
Chemical profile and phytotoxic action of Onopordum acanthium essential oil
TLDR
The potential of utilizing Onopordum acanthium essential oil and its major constituents as environment friendly herbicides was investigated and β-eudesmol is the most likely responsible compound for its phytotoxicity.

TLDR
This is the first report on the isolation of 2,3-epoxy-1-hydroxy-4,9-germacradiene-12,8:15,6-diolide as a naturally occurring product.
Herbicidal Activity of Three Sesquiterpene Lactones on Wild Oat (Avena fatua) and Their Possible Mode of Action
TLDR
The results of this study indicated that the herbicidal activity of the isolated sesquiterpene may be attributed to inhibition of ALS, and the promising phytotoxic activity of sesquitepene lactones reported here could be considered a starting point for developing environmentally safer herbicides.
Isolation and Structural Characterization of a Water-Soluble Germination Inhibitor from Scotch Thistle (Onopordum acanthium) Cypselas
TLDR
Cypsela dormancy in Scotch thistle may be affected by the presence of chemical inhibitors, and a leachate was tested for its ability to inhibit germination of the cypselas from which it was derived (i.e., autoinhibition).
Foliar Mono- and Sesquiterpene Contents in Relation to Leaf Economic Spectrum in Native and Alien Species in Oahu (Hawai’i)
TLDR
Comparing alien and native species, the results support the modified Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA) hypothesis that suggests that alien success may be favored by a defense system based on an increase in concentrations of less costly defenses (terpenes) against generalist herbivores.

TLDR
Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium L. (Asteraceae) is primarily a weed of well-drained natural areas and ruderal habitats such as abandoned gravel pits and has many uses including being consumed as a vegetable, used as a source of honey, yielding a burnable oil, incorporated in medications for many human ailments, and being grown as a garden.

TLDR
Several distinct biotypes, differing in morphology, phenology and important ecological attributes, such as dormancy and longevity of cypselas (fruits) in the soil, have been described from southern Ontario.
Root-secreted Allelochemical in the Noxious Weed Phragmites Australis Deploys a Reactive Oxygen Species Response and Microtubule Assembly Disruption to Execute Rhizotoxicity
TLDR
The study highlights the persistence of the exuded gallic acid in P. australis’s rhizosphere and its inhibitory effects against A. thaliana in the soil, one of the salt marsh species it successfully invades.

TLDR
Comparisons with a DI water control in year two support the possibility that the treatment effects were due to the negative effects of cogongrass leachate, rather than a facilitative effect from the mixed natives.
