Abstract The main aim of this paper was to investigate the possibility growing basil under three soilless systems (aeroponic, hydroponic and peatmoss slab systems). A model developed predict nutrients consumption by plants. Shoot root height, fresh dry mass whole plant, uptake, oil content were studied during growth period (after 4 7 weeks from transplanting). results indicated that shoot lengt...

this research was conducted to assay the effect of different levels of irrigation on morphological and physicochemical characteristics of three cultivars of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), in ferdowsi university of mashhad, 2012. the pot experiment was performedas a factorial based on randomized complete design with four replications. the factors included three commercial cultivars of basil (comin...

Genotoxic properties of the essential oils extracted from Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Cinnamomum loureirii (cinnamon), Laurus nobilis (laurel), Satureja montana (savory) and Rosmarinus officinallis (rosemary) are studied by Drosophila melanogaster Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART). The high bioactivation crossed with a high cytochrome P450-dependent...

abstract effect of cr3+ concentrations (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mg l-1) on lipid peroxidation / mda production and antioxidative enzyme activity (apox, sod, and ppox) in root and leaf tissues of sweet basil seedlings (ocimum basilicum l.) during 6week treatment in hydroponic culture was studied. increasing cr3+ in the culture medium (≥4 mg l-1) caused significant enhancement of apox, sod, and ppox ac...
