The present study was aimed to impress the cytological, physiological, genetic, and morphological effects of essential oil obtained by hydro-distillation from Mentha longifolia (L.) HUDSON against maize seeds. These naturally occurred compounds can be used instead synthetic chemicals. To determine their biological activity, applied Zea mays L. seeds at different doses. It observed that germinat...
