The essential oils of the aerial parts of Ocimum basilicum Linn.var. pilosum (Willd.) Benth., an endemic medicinal plant growing in China, was obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC-MS. Fifteen compounds, representing 74.19% of the total oil were identified. The main components were as follows: linalool (29.68%), (Z)-cinnamic acid methyl ester (21.49%), cyclohexene (4.41%), alpha- cad...

In this study, the in vitro anticholinesterase activity of the volatile oils of both O. basilicum and O. africanum was investigated and both samples showed significant activity. The major constituents of the two oils were isolated using several column chromatographies. Linalool, 1,8-cineol and eugenol were isolated from the volatile oil of O. basilicum and camphor was isolated from the volatile...

The genus Ocimum has many species that are used to treat diverse kinds of illnesses and sicknesses from ancient times. One them, basilicum L., commonly known as basil, a vital role due its various medicinal goods. It is best plant with pharmacological activities, but also an antioxidant, antimicrobial, larvicidal agent. Although it been traditionally in Serbia traditional medicine for centuries...

In this study, we investigated the effects of additional ultraviolet radiation (UV) on main growth fluorescent lamp light pigment content and essential oil accumulation in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). Three different UV sources from light-emitting diodes discharge lamps, which emit UV-A (315–400 nm), UV-B (280–315 nm) UV-C (100–280 ranges, were tested for plant growing. The plants, growin...

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is one of the important medicinal plant species. In order to produce an autotetraploid population of basil (Ocimum basilicum) by colchicine, different concentrations (0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50 and 0.75%) and four treatment methods were examined (seed, the growing point of seedlings at the emergence of cotyledone leaves stage and emergence of true two type leaves stag...
