New data on 10 adventive plant species are given. Two and one subspecies (Atriplex hortensis, Solanum nigrum subsp. schultesii, Nepeta cataria) new for the Republic of Buryatia. Five two interspecies hybrids (Arctium × mixtum, Galinsoga parviflora, Hesperis pycnotricha, Lactuca serriola, Medicago varia, Onobrychis viciifolia, Viola tricolor) recorded first time in Ulan-Ude city its neighborhood.

Catmint oil and hydrogenated catmint oil were evaluated as repellents for adult Tribolium casteneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), the red flour beetle, and T. confusum (DuVal), the confused flour beetle, using both a traditional method of visual assessment of distribution and a video recording method to determine movement patterns of individual insects. Visual assessments of distributio...

Nepeta nuda L. (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant with wide distribution in Europa and Asia. In Bulgaria, N. also known as “naked (or hairless) catmint”, which likely refers to the naked or sparse short hairy stem leaves. This study aims generate DNA barcodes for precise genetic discrimination determination of phylogenetic position among other species. To achieve this goal, we applied barcoding t...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity potential of aqueous extracts of Nepeta cataria, Fumaria indica, Borago officinalis, Adiantum capillus, Levandula stoeches on HeLa cell line. Leaves of plants were washed with distilled water, dried in shade, grinded to fine powder and stored in airtight container at room temperature in the dark until used. The powdered samples were s...
