The effects of foliar application different concentrations amino acids (tyrosine and phenylalanine) phenolic (trans-cinnamic acid, benzoic acid salicylic acid) on growth, pigment content, hormones levels essential oil content Ammi visnaga L were carried out during two successive seasons. It is clear that either or phenolics significantly promoted the growth parameters in terms shoot height, fresh dry biomass, number branches umbels per plant. increment parameter was associated with elevated...
This study investigates the phytochemical composition and functional properties of Parkia biglobosa, Moringa oleifera, Spondias purpurea seeds collected from Madagali, Michika Mubi in Adamawa North Senatorial Zone State, Nigeria. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed significant antioxidant levels, particularly polyphenols flavonoids, with oleifera exhibiting highest content. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identified key groups, such as hydroxyl...
Citrus peel essential oils (EOs) have various biological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial. Growth location (GL) plays a physiological role in the formation of EO. This research paper aimed to investigate EOs their antimicrobial nine types growing at Nile valley (NV) Reclaimed desert (RD) Egypt. that are chosen this study were Valencia orange, Navel Sour Lemon, Volkamer lemon, Lime, Mediterranean mandarin, Dancy tangerine, Grapefruit. Selected microbes two...
Abstract Background Fennel essential oils are fragrance compounds used in food and pharmaceutical sectors. One of the major impediments to expansion fennel farming Egypt's reclamation areas is saline water. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) or TiO nano particles NP) can be utilized boost yield aromatic plants cultivated under irrigation Saline water, particularly which contains sodium chloride harm plant; consequently, it was predicted that production would fail reclaimed area, where primary source...
Background and Objective: Oregano herb has various pharmaceutical properties.Soil Moisture (SM) deficit harmful effects on aromatic plants.So, the aim of this study was to decrease effect SM oregano plants by adapting them through use glutamic acid (GLU).Materials Methods: were divided into two main groups.The first group subjected different levels SM: 100, 75, 50 25% corresponding Field Water Capacity (FWC), while second same but GLU added at 0.3 g LG 1 as foliar spray.Fresh Mass (FM), Dry...
Essential oil (EO) of Citrus has some biological and pharmaceutical properties; thus, it can be used in food drug industries. Changes growing seasons play important roles physiological processes EO especially that extracted from young leaves. The aim this study was to evaluate the leaves twelve species different (winter, spring, summer autumn) under Egyptian conditions. investigation were Valencia Orange, Navel Sour Lemon, Volkamer Lime, Persian Sweet Mediterranean Mandarin, Dancy Tangerine,...
Essential oil of grapefruit used in various food and drug industries. Previous investigators indicted that salicylic acid different locations had a significant role essential production. production is one way to utilize the reclaimed areas Egypt. In this study, effects on were evaluated old Grapefruit trees exposed foliar spray at 0, 20 40 mg L-1 Nubaria (reclaimed area) Giza (old area). Data statistically analyzed using 2-way analysis variance (ANOVA-2). The highest amounts extracted from...
The effects of different osmotic stresses (from 0 to –8× 105 Pa) obtained with NaC or polyethylene glycol 6000 solutions on the germination flax, sesame and onion seeds were investigated. effect presoaking gibberellic acid (GA3) above mentioned was also studied. It found that rate seed final percentages as well amount water absorbed by considerably lowered rise stress levels whatever agent used, more considerable reduction under than NaCl. Presoaking increased percentage osmotically stressed...
In Egypt, faba bean plants are severely damaged by charcoal rot, caused Macrophomina phaseolina and root-knot, Meloidogyne incognita.The current study was aimed to control these diseases using silver nanoparticles that were biologically synthesized from Moringa oleifera leaf extract.In this work, (AgNPs) prepared with trisodium citrate as a reducing agent produce chemo-AgNPs and, an environmentally eco-friendly method, aqueous extract of M. leaves under visible light radiation bio-AgNPs.The...
Background and Objectives: Parsley herb has various biological properties used in food pharmaceutical industries.Biostimulants represent one area of research that the potential to increase medicinal aromatic plants (MAP) productivity.The aim this study was evaluate growth chemical composition parsley plant under some biostimulants treatments.Materials Methods: were subjected different concentrations L-tryptophan (LTRYP, 100 200 mg LG 1 ), trans-cinnamic acid (TCA, 10 20 ) distilled water as...
Abstract The effects of harvesting treatments and / or distillation methods (hydrodistillation, hydro-steam steam distillation) on the essential oil content composition Pelargonium odoratissimum L. Melissa officinalis plants were carried out in a greenhouse at Shanghai Institute Plant Physiology Ecology (SIPPE), Shanghai, China, during years 2007 2008. highest yield P. M. was obtained by hydrodistillation lowest distillation. significantly decreased towards second harvesting. main component...
Background and Objective: Essential oil (EO) of M. officinalis L. used in different pharmaceutical food industries.Salinity (SAL) stress has harmful effects on growth EO yield.This study aimed to increase the composition through use Citric Acid (CA) under SAL conditions.Materials Methods: Plants were subjected levels saline soil: 0.0, 1.6, 3.1 6.3 dSmG 1 with or without CA.The experimental design followed a complete random block design.The averages data statistically analyzed using two-way...
Lemon essential oil (EO) has several biological activities especially against breast carcinoma cells. Cysteine (CYS) and soil structures play an important role in the production of lemon EO. The application CYS various soils is one way scientific technique which leads to a modification EO production. Thus, aim this investigation was evaluate extracted from leaves peels under rates structures. trees were exposed different (0.0, 0.2 0.4 g/L) sand clay soils. isolated by steam distillation,...
Rumex is one of about 50 genera in the knotweed family, Polygonaceae. The genus comprises 200 species with bisexual, or more commonly, unisexual flowers, displaying monoecious, dioecious, synoecious (hermaphroditic) polygamous reproductive systems. Some dioecious have heteromorphic sex chromosomes, which rare amongst angiosperms. We here present a plastid phylogeny 67 species, representing all four subgenera. For this study, we used three chloroplast markers, rbcL , trnH - psbA trnL F and...
Essential oil of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L) has biological activities that make it used in food and pharmaceutical manufactures. High salinity is one the factors lead to lack expansion production medicinal aromatic plants, especially new reclaimed soil located at arid semi regions. Glutathione a natural antioxidant can help plants withstand unfavorable environmental conditions such as irrigation water. This trial aimed diminish undesirable effect exposure with salt water on herbs...
Abstract Mint essential oil has several applications in pharmacy and food industries. As mint species multiplied, active chemicals evolved, resulting changes their biological effects. growth Egypt’s sandy soils is hampered by abiotic stress.
