the aim of the present study was to evaluate hypnotic effect of coriandrum sativum, ziziphus jujuba , lavandula angustifolia and melissa officinalis hydroalcoholic extracts in mice to select the most effective ones for a combination formula. three doses of the extracts (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg of c. sativum and z. jujuba and 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of l. angustifolia and m. officinalis ) were or...

in last two decades, considerable attempts have been made to introduce new botanical based insecticides. in this study, repellent effects of the essential oils taken from lavandula angustifolia and zataria multiflora on callosobruchus maculatus adults were evaluated. the essential oils were extracted using a clevenger apparatus. bioassays were conducted under 30±1ºc, 60±5% rh and dark condition...

     Callus and suspension cultures of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (Lamiaceae) were established and the effect of different culture media on growth rate was investigated. Terpenoids added to suspension culture to investigate their biotrans-formation. All samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectroscopy (MS). Octan-1-ol, citronellol, linalool, borneol and geran...

Mosquitocidal activities of Lavandula angustifolia (L. angustifolia) different concentration essential oil (EO) and its major phytocompounds (MPCs) tested against three important human vector mosquitoes (HVMs). The quantitative analyses EO phyto-chemical compositions (PCCs) were analyzed by using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). HVMswere exposed to various concentrations MPC...

inhibitory effects of lavandula angustifolia and zataria multiflora essential oils were evaluated on reproduction and f1 progeny production of callosobruchus maculatus. insect’s culture and bioassays were conducted at 29 ±1ºc, 60±5% rh and dark condition. essential oils were taken by hydrodistilation. the results indicated that there was a negative and significant linear relationship between re...

This study was carried out to determine effects of different durations (20, 40, 60 days and control) of cold stratification treatments on seed germination and to overcome dormancy in seeds of twelve different drought tolerant plants. The species used in this study were Arbutus andrachne L., Cistus creticus L., Colutea armena Bois. Huet., Cotinus coggygria Scop., Cotoneaster numullaria Fisch. an...

Afforestation, particularly with the use of N2-fixing trees (NFTs), is an option for ecological restoration of salinized, irrigated croplands in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River. But current knowledge of enhanced juvenile tree growth and their N2 fixation rates is sparse for the marginal irrigated croplands of the Khorezm Region of Uzbekistan. A superior understanding would increase pro...

Two glycosides were isolated from the n-Butanol soluble portion of the ethanolic portion of the stem and leaves part of stachytarpheta angustifolia. Their structures were elucidated as Iridoid glycoside (1) and a caffeic glycoside ester named as –β(3 1 , 4 1 dihydroxyphenyl)–ethyl-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-3)-β-D-(4-O-Caffeoyl) glucopyranoside (2) by spectroscopic Method.
