Semi-structured interviews (80) were applied in order to document the medicinal plants used by Pijao indigenous community Natagaima, Colombia. As a result, total of 110 species distributed 54 families registered, Asteraceae and Fabaceae (9% each) being most important families. Regarding parts plant, structure was leaves (46.7%), main form preparation infusion (32%), way administration oral (77....

The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and the identification and quantification of components were achieved with the use of GC-MS analysis. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the method of sequestration of DPPH. Essential oils were used for study the cytotoxic front larvae of Artemia salina. In the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of essential oils, we employed the ...

This study evaluated the effects of inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices A4 and Glomus intraradices B1 and two phosphorus levels (10 and 40 mg kg-1) on root colonization, plant growth, nutrient uptake and essential oil content in Mentha piperita L. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, in 4x2 factorial arrangement, in completely randomi...

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the influence of seasonality in essential oil (EO) chemical composition Mentha x piperita L. and viridis grown southeast Brazil. Leaves were collected from November 2011 until August 2013, middle following seasons: Spring (November), Summer (February), Autumn (May) Winter (August). EO extraction was carried out by hydrodistillation Clevenger apparatus for 1 hour. ...

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method was used to evaluate genetic diversity and to assess genetic relationships within the section Mentha in order to clarify the taxonomy of several interspecific mint hybrids with molecular markers. To this end, genetic diversity of 62 Mentha accessions from different geographic origins, representing five species and three hybrids, was asses...

A trial assessing the suitability of multifunctional living mulch to maintain soil and reduce weed infestation was carried out in an organic apple orchard years 2019-2020. Perennial plants (Alchemilla vulgaris, Fragaria vesca, Mentha piperita) annual crops (Tropaeolum majus Cucurbita maxima) were grown rows trees. The weeds number coverage tree assessed. Regardless species utilized, resulted be...

A valuable composition of Mentha piperita L. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. The plants were treated with different concentrations of Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase and Guaiacol peroxidase). Variance...
