Basil glands of the Sweet Dani cultivar contain high levels of citral, a mixture of geranial and its cis-isomer neral, as well as low levels of geraniol and nerol. We have previously reported the identification of a cDNA from Sweet Dani that encodes an enzyme responsible for the formation of geraniol from geranyl diphosphate in the glands, and that these glands cannot synthesize nerol directly ...

Amaç: Fesleğen (Ocimum basilicum L.), Türkiye’de ve dünyada ekonomik anlamda öneme sahip olan tıbbi aromatik bitkilerden biridir. Lamiaceae familyasına ait bu bitki pek çok sektör tarafından yoğun bir şekilde tüketilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı alt tür varyeteleri bitkinin beş popülasyondan gelen tohumların bazı fiziksel (şekil-boyut, yüzey alan, ortalama aritmetik-geometrik çap, küresellik b...

The monoterpene fraction of the lemon-scented sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) cv Sweet Dani consists mostly of citral (a mixture of geranial and neral), with lower levels of geraniol and nerol. These compounds are stored in the peltate glands found on the leaf epidermis. Younger leaves, which have a higher density of such glands, also have a higher content of monoterpenes than older leaves. Gera...

Fish in aquaculture face stress, which is a major concern due to its effects on the overall wellbeing of fish. To modulate stress responses, researchers are turning use nutraceuticals rather than chemical drugs. In six-week long study, holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) was used observe Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Stress induced by adding cortisol with feed as supplement. Three different tre...

In the present study, improvement of salt tolerance in basil (as a salt-sensitive plant) was investigated through silicon (Si) nutrition. Basil plants were subjected to silicon (0, 3 mM) and salinity (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl) for a duration of one month. Salt stress significantly decreased the biomass of basil. Si supplement (3 mM) resulted in a considerable increase (averagely +135%) i...
