Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is an aromatic plant directly used for spice, medicine, feed of honeybee, ornamental and also as raw material different industries. most widely cultivated due to its high economical value, popularity demands among the economically important species basil. distributed throughout subtropic tropical regions currently in India, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Japan, China T...

The concentrations of caffeic acid derivatives within Lamiaceae and Echinacea (herb, spice, tea, and dietary supplement forms) readily available in the US marketplace (n = 72) were determined. After the first identification of chicoric acid in Ocimum basilicum (basil), the extent to which chicoric acid could be found within the family Lamiaceae was investigated. The dominant phenolic acid in al...

The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity essential oils obtained from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv. ‘Genovese’) cultivated in open field under different shading conditions (red, blue, and pearl nets with a shade index 50% full sunlight exposure (control plants)), harvested at times. (BEOs) all samples determined for four microorganisms, while determinations an ad...

Study the effects of inoculation with two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Gm (Glomus mosseae T.H. Nicolson & Gerd.)Gerd & Trappe) and Gi (Glomus intraradices  N.C. Schenck & G.S. Sm.) on the  herb yield, essential oil (EO) content and nutrient acquisition of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under drought stress conditions,The experiment conducted with 9 treatments and 4 replications. Drought stre...

The present study examined the efficacy of Ocimum basilicum (basil) extract, a natural herb, with antioxidant properties, against testicular toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd), which is one of the most important toxic heavy metals. The intoxicated rats showed significant alterations in the testicular tissue including decreased seminiferous epithelium height and changes in the arrangement of sperm...

The development of organic farming as a result increasing consumer preference for food has led to the and registration new pest-control products certified production. In this study, effects three biocontrol containing spores mycelium Arthrobotrys oligospora—Artis®, Beauveria bassiana—Bora®, Coniothyrium minitans—Öko-ni® were tested on four basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivars: ‘Aromat de Buzau...

Limited understanding of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) genetics and genome structure has reduced efficiency of breeding strategies. This is evidenced by the rapid, worldwide dissemination of basil downy mildew (Peronospora belbahrii) in the absence of resistant cultivars. In an effort to improve available genetic resources, expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) and single ...
