essential oils are volatile, natural, complex compounds formed by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. in nature, essential oils play an important role in protecting plants in form of antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, insecticides properties and also against herbivores. they also may attract some insects to use them in dispersion of pollens and seeds, or repel undesirable others. pr...

Enhanced Expression of Genes Involved in the Biosynthesis Pathway Tanshinones Tetraploid Plants Salvia Officinalis L.

In petals of Salvia high concentrations of ether cause an increase in oxygen consumption and in the production of CO(2), while at the same time a decrease occurs in the acidity of the cell contents.

Cryptotanshinone (CT), a major tanshinone of medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against clinic isolated methicillin and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and VRSA) in this experiment. The CT was determined against clinic isolated MRSA 1-16 with MIC and MBC values ranging from 4 to 32 and 8 to 128  μ g/mL; for MSSA 1-2 from 16 to ...
