In the course of the evaluation of the species belonging to the Section Salvia of the genus Salvia (Family Lamiaceae) the essential oil content and the composition of the species have been investigated with special respect to their neurotoxic α-, and β-thujone content. It could be established that from among the species S. lavandulifolia Vahl., S. candelabru Boiss., S. tomentosa Mill., (S. gran...

Salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family. Its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. Therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. The aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of Salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

Thirty-two cultivars of 10 commonly-grown bedding plants, representing eight families, were evaluated for their response to infection by the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita race 3, under greenhouse conditions. Four ageratum cultivars, two marigold, and two salvia cultivars were rated resistant after exposure for 8 weeks. Four begonia, four celosia, one dianthus, one verbena, one vinca...

Genetic diversity in perennial Salvia judaica Boiss (Judean sage) and palaestina Benth (Palestinian species using touch-up directed amplification of minisatellite region DNA (TU-DAMD) has been performed two separated sets; the first set (set A) initial annealing temperature was increased from 50 °C to 55 °C, whereas, second one B), it 60 by 0.5 °C/cycle during 10 PCR cycles. Fifteen DAMD primer...

Salvia rosmarinus Spenn (synonym: Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is economically and medically important grows naturally in Al-Marj (Libya). Macro, micro morphological chemical characteristics were studied. Leaf venation, leaf anatomy compounds of essential oils carried out according to traditional methods. The objective the present study provide detailed description this species. Morphological cha...

The morphological specifications play a substantial role in classification and breeding programs of various plant taxa. In the current study, some macro- and micro-morphological features of Salvia nemorosa, Salvia syriaca, Salvia frigida and Salvia virgata (three accessions), were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and image analysis program. The completely randomized design (CRD) ...

The genus Salvia is a valuable origin of structurally diverse terpenoids. In a project directed at structurally interesting bioactive metabolites from Iranian Salvia species, we studied Salvia reuterana. Two new labdane diterpene, 6β,14α-dihydroxy-15-acetoxysclareol (1), and 14α,15- dihydroxy sclareol (2), were isolated from the aerial part of the plant. Their structures were established mainly...

The trichomes and chemical composition of three species the genus Salvia wild-grown (Salvia lanigera, spinosa) cultured officinalis) were studied in Anbar governate, components stem leaves by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(GC-MS), addition to studying epidermis (upper lower epidermis) Light microscope. Important differences appeared us study, where it was found that some compounds without...

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) using a laboratory-made system are applied for the extraction of thermally labile components such as tanshinone I and IIA in Salvia miltiorrhiza. PLE and PHWE are carried out dynamically at a flow of 1 mL/min, temperature between 95-140 degrees C, applied pressure of 10-20 bars, and extraction times of 20 and 40 min...
