This research evaluated the effects of biosolid levels on yield and chemical composition of Mentha piperita L. essential oil. Mint plants were grown in a greenhouse in pots containing the equivalent to 0, 28, 56, and 112 t.ha-1 biosolid. Three evaluations were made at 90, 110, and 120 days after planting (DAP). The oil was extracted from the dry matter of shoots by hydrodistillation, and compos...

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the influence of seasonality in essential oil (EO) chemical composition Mentha x piperita L. and viridis grown southeast Brazil. Leaves were collected from November 2011 until August 2013, middle following seasons: Spring (November), Summer (February), Autumn (May) Winter (August). EO extraction was carried out by hydrodistillation Clevenger apparatus for 1 hour. ...

Mints/X11s are adaptor proteins composed of three isoforms: neuron-specific Mints 1 and 2, and the ubiquitously expressed Mint 3. We have now analyzed constitutive and conditional knock-out mice for all three Mints/X11s. We found that approximately 80% of mice lacking both neuron-specific Mint isoforms (Mints 1 and 2) die at birth, whereas mice lacking any other combination of Mint isoforms sur...

P lants have been estimated to collectively synthesize more than 30,000 different terpenoids, of which many have useful applications in the manufacture of foods, industrial compounds, and pharmaceuticals. Terpenoids are synthesized from the condensation, in a head to tail fashion, of 5-carbon isoprene (or hemiterpene) units. Major terpenoid classes include mono-, sesqui-, and diterpenes, which ...

Four essential oils of Thyme (Thymus linearis), Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Mint (Mentha longifolia) and Formic Acid (65%) used at three concentrations (25, 50 and 100%) against Varroa destructor damaging honey bee Apis mellifera colonies in Honeybee Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan. The percentage of infest...
