The present study investigates the effects of Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices on the resistance of green basil plants to salinity stress. The findings suggested that there was an interaction of effects between mycorrhiza fungi inoculation and salt stress on the physiological characteristics of Ocimum basilicum L. On one hand, salinity decreased percentage of root colonization, root lengt...

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of biofertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of basil essential oil content, geranial, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide and methyl chavicol in essential oil. The experiment was carried out as randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture Company of Ran ...

post-harvest losses particularly due to fungal invasions, is a major factor in limiting the shelf life of many fruits and vegetables. in order to study the effects of essential oils of thyme (thymus kotschyanus), basil (ocimum basilicum) and rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) on control of grey mold (botrytis cinerea) disease in pear, a series of in vitro and in vivo (during cold storage of pear...

Solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and conventional hydro-distillation (HD) were used for the extraction of essential oils (EOs) from Egyptian sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves. The two resulting EOs were compared with regards to their chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. The EO analyzed by GC and GC-MS, presented 65 compounds constituting 99.3% and 99.0...

Basil oil and its three major active constituents (trans-anethole, estragole, and linalool) obtained from basil (Oscimum basilicum L.) were tested on three tephritid fruit fly species [Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett)] for insecticidal activity. All test chemicals acted fast and showed a steep dose-response relationship. The le...

Extremely high temperatures and droughts are expected in Bosnia Herzegovina the coming years due to climate change. These phenomena negatively affect most traditionally grown crops. However, optimal growth conditions can be provided for plants that originate from warmer climates. One of alternative species summer is basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Therefore, objective this study was determine impac...

Summary Introduction: Drought stress is known to change biochemical activities resulting in altered plant growth and development. Objective: Due the shortage of research evidence a certain taxa basil, it imperative examine relationship between drought morphological changes as well essential oil accumulation. Methods: An open field experiment was conducted 2020 determine effects on responses sel...

Ursolic acid is a very important compound due to its biological potential as an anti-inflammatory, trypanocidal, antirheumatic, antiviral, antioxidant and antitumoral agent. This study presents the HPLC analysis of ursolic acid (UA) content in eight different Ocimum species: O. americanum L., O. basilicum L, O. basilicum var purpurascens Benth, O. basilicum var. minimum L, O. gratissimum L, O. ...
