Leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora beticola Sacc. is the most destructive foliar of beet. leaf controlled primarily fungicides because non-chemical alternatives do not provide commercially viable control. One ways reducing chemical application use different essential oils (EOs) or antagonistic plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPB). This study evaluates several EOs and PGPB belonging t...

A number of naturally occurring agents are hypothesized to protect against ultraviolet (UV)‑induced skin damage. The present study screened >50 plant extracts for inhibitors of UVB‑induced cytotoxicity, using cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK), and identified that the fruit of rose myrtle (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa) was the most marked inhibitor of cell death. The protective effec...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary myrtle essential oil on small intestinal morphology and microbiology of broiler chickens. Two hundred day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308) were allocated to 5 treatments, 4 replications with a completely randomized design. The diets were supplemented with: no myrtle essential oil (control), each of myrtle essential oil at levels o...

The article presents the results of a comparative study mass fraction essential oil and dynamics its accumulation in leaves subtropical introduced species Laurus nobilis L., Myrtus communis L. Rosmarinus officinalis Mardakian Arboretum located on Absheron Peninsula. These are cultivated as evergreen trees shrubs, with an optimal autumn-winter leaf ripening period. natural conditions this region...

Plants of Juniperus communis L. var. communis, J. c. var. depressa Pursh, J. c. var. hemispherica J. & C. Presl, J. communis var. megistocarpa Fern. & St. John, J. c. var. nipponica (Maxim.) Wils., J. c. var. oblonga hort. ex Loudon and J. c. var. saxatilis Pall. were sampled and DNA fingerprinting (RAPDs, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) was performed. Based on 191 RAPD bands, there was litt...
