Facultative type of Halophytes is those which can easily grow on both saline and non-saline soil conditions Launaea nudicaulis (L.) Hook f. belongs to family compositae [Asteraceae] is facultative halophyte with great medicinal values. The main objective of this study is to explore anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial potential on different morphological parts of Launaea nudicaulis (L.) Hook f. The results of the antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of leaves stem and roots of Launaea nudicaulis (L.) Hook f. showed that the potent antibacterial activity observed in all three morphological parts against Staphylococcus aureus. DPPH scavenging activity of extracts of root, stem, leaves against standard i.e., ascorbic acid at different concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 showed that root extract have more significant activity when compared to the ascorbic acid. Documented potentials of halophytes are elevating its prominence which motivates scientist to further explore with extensive research.
兼性盐生植物是指那些可以在盐渍和非盐渍土壤条件下轻松生长的植物。Launaea nudicaulis（L.）Hook f. 属于菊科（Asteraceae），是一种具有重要药用价值的兼性盐生植物。本研究的主要目的是探索 Launaea nudicaulis（L.）Hook f. 的不同形态部分的抗氧化和抗菌潜力。Launaea nudicaulis（L.）Hook f. 的甲醇提取物对叶片、茎和根的抗菌活性结果表明，所有三个形态部分对金黄色葡萄球菌均表现出强烈的抗菌活性。根、茎、叶提取物对标准品（即抗坏血酸）的 DPPH 清除活性在不同浓度 20、40、60、80 和 100 下显示，与抗坏血酸相比，根提取物具有更显著的活性。盐生植物的记录潜力提高了其重要性，这促使科学家进一步进行广泛的研究。
