The prospect of replacing traditional chemical fertilization with organic and microorganism-based meets the current demand for more sustainable cropping systems healthy food. In this respect, research was carried out to evaluate effects factorial combination between four basil cultivars (‘Aromat de Buzau’, ‘Macedon’, ‘Cuisoare’ ‘Serafim’) three types fertilization, namely (with a solid fertiliz...

In this study, the variability of essential oil composition in different parts of summer savory was investigated. Extraction of essential oils from air-dried leaves and healthy seeds was done using water-distillation in Clevenger-type apparatus for 4 h. In total, 23 and 24 components were identified in the leaves and seeds of summer savory, respectively. Carvacrol (46.023%), Estragole (Methyl C...

the glass transition temperature of several pvac(1)-b-poly(ma-co-mma) (2) terpolymers with different fractions of methyl acrylate (ma) and methyl methacrylate (mma) repeating units in random copolymer (block 2) were calculated with barton, kwei and topological equations. the calculation was on the basis of the correlation between the fraction of repeating units in random copolymers and theoreti...

The potential of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) - Glomus mosseae, G. fasciculatum and G. intraradices- to enhance the production of essential oil and plant growth parameter was investigated in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum). The AMF inoculation significantly increased plant height, fresh and dry matter yield, oil content and oil yield as compared to non-inoculated basil plants. Essent...

Phenylalanine amonia-lyase (PAL) is one of the most important enzymes that plays a key role in regulationof phenylpropanoid production in plants. It catalyzes the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway in whichL-phenylalanine is deaminated to trans-cinnamic acid. This step is significant for metabolic engineering andhyper-expression of the major phenylpropanoid, methyl chav...

holy basil (ocimum sanctum) is one of the important medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of iron on iron and chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic parameters of holy basil, an experiment was conducted at research farm of department of horticultural science, shahid chamran university of ahvaz based on randomized complete block desig...

the aim of this study was evaluation of phytochemical components, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial effects of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) essential oil (beo) in vitro. the lipid oxidation of the meat and antibacterial effects of beo were also evaluated in beef burger product. in this empirical study, essential oil of the basil was isolated by hydrodistillation. then, beo was analyzed by ...

phytochemicals are good sources of natural antioxidants and have beneficial effects on human health. many of phenolic phytochemicals have shown antimicrobial and antifungal activity. anise hyssop ( agastache foeniculum [pursh] kuntze ) is a perennial aromatic plant of the lamiaceae family with antimicrobial and antifungal properties and useful for gastrointestinal problems. in this investigatio...
