In this study, antibacterial, antifungal, antimycobacterial, cytotoxic, antitumor, cardiovascular, antifeedant, insecticidal, antileishmanial and some other single activities of diterpenoids and norditerpenoids isolated from Turkish Lamiaceae plants, are reviewed. The diterpenoids were isolated from species of Salvia, Sideritis, and Ballota species growing in Anatolia. Fifty abietanes, ten kaur...

The antibacterial activity of essential oils extracted from medicinal plants (Ocimum gratissimum, L., Cybopogum citratus (DC) Stapf., and Salvia officinalis, L.) was assessed on bacterial strains derived from 100 urine samples. Samples were taken from subjects diagnosed with urinary tract infection living in the community. Microorganisms were plated on Müller Hinton agar. Plant extracts were ap...

Summer annual weed species in northern Australian summer fallows are frequently present at low densities and, increasingly, glyphosate-resistant, creating the need for alternative herbicides site-specific control. Alternative non-selective herbicide treatments effective on problematic fallow weeds; however, many yet to be evaluated as (spot spraying) treatments. This study aimed identify that c...
