objective: nowadays notable increase in acquired resistance of candida species to antifungal drugs and necessity of using agents with antifungal properties is unavoidable. in some plants due to presence of components such as polyphenols have antimicrobial properties. in this study antifungal effects of essential oils of thymus vulgaris, petroselinum crispum, cuminum cyminum and bunium persicum ...

A cDNA encoding flavone synthase I was amplified by RT-PCR from leaflets of Petroselinum crispum cv. Italian Giant seedlings and functionally expressed in yeast cells. The identity of the recombinant, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzyme was verified in assays converting (2S)-naringenin to apigenin.
