The use of plant extracts for biotechnical control root-knot nematodes is increasingly important. In this study, the efficacy three extracts, Thymbra spicata L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) (Mediterranean thyme), Plantago lanceolata Plantaginaceae) (ribwort plantain) and Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), controlling Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynid...

Inactivation mechanism of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CD) combination with Thymbra spicata essential oil (TEO) treatments on bacteria in tryptone soy broth (TSB) and juices was investigated. Salmonella Typhimurium significantly inactivated by 3.45 5.55 logs after SC-CD+TEO treatment TBS for 35 min at 7.6 10.13 MPa respectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae showed higher resistance to than other t...

Antifungal activities of two essential oils (EOs), derived from the Lavandula angustifolia L. and Thymbra spicata plant leaves were tested in current study against isolates (M1-5 M3-5) Botrytis cinerea Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). These studies performed vitro a further vivo test with vapor contact application EOs was strawberry fruits to confirm antifungal postharvest storage. In conducted four...

Three controlled crosses were carried out involving Mentha arvensis and Mentha spicata [M. spicata CIMAP/C30 x M. spicata CIMAP/C33 (cv. Neera); M. arvensis CIMAP/C18 x CIMAP/C17 (cv. Kalka); and M. arvensis CIMAP/C17 x M. spicata CIMAP/C33]. The parents were subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis with 80 primers, and polymorphic primers were tested for detecting coinheri...
