The effect of nano selenium foliar application on some secondary metabolites Hypericum perforatum L.

The antioxidant potentials of a total ethanolic extract of Hypericum perforatum (TE) and fractions were evaluated and correlated with their phenolic contents. The extracts were fully characterised by HPLC–DAD–MS–MS. Kaempferol 3-rutinoside and rutinacetyl were identified for the first time in TE extracts. The free radical-scavenging properties of TE (EC50 1⁄4 21 lg dwb/ml) and fractions were st...

Bu çalışmada, önemli tıbbi ve aromatik bitki olan Hypericum türlerinin Rhizoctonia solani üzerine antifungal aktivitesi incelenmiştir. (H. heterophyllum, H. scabrum perforatum) çiçek, gövde yapraklarının bazı çözücülerdeki (metanol, etanol, aseton kloroform) ekstraktlarının %2’lik konsantrasyonu solani’ye karşı test edilmiştir. Ekstraktların aktiviteleri bu patojen ile mücadelede kullanılan sen...

The present study was investigated the effects of two elicitors methyl jasmonate (0, 125, 250 and 500 µM) and chitosan (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L-1) on shoot and callus growth of Iranian Hypericum perforatumL. in vitro cultures in separate experiments. The experiment was done in the base of completely randomized design with five replications and five explants in each replication. Methyl jasmonate...
