The chemical composition and biological activity of cultivated wild medicinal aromatic plants from Morocco ( Artemisia herba-alba, Lippia citriodora, Mentha pulegium, M. spicata, Myrtus communis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Thymus satureioides) are described. essential oils (EOs) these species have been analyzed by GC-MS. antifeedant, nematicidal phytotoxic activities the EOs were tested on insect pests Spodoptera littoralis, Myzus persicae Rhopalosiphum padi), root-knot nematodes Meloydogine...
The presence and extent of genetic variation in saffron crocus are still debated, as testified by several contradictory articles providing contrasting results about the monomorphism or less species. Remarkably, phenotypic variations have been frequently observed field, such usually unstable can change from one growing season to another. Considering that gene expression be influenced both epigenetic changes, epigenetics could a plausible cause alternative phenotypes. In order obtain new...
Since 2007, the European Commission AGRI GEN RES 018 "CROCUSBANK" action has permitted creation of alleged World Saffron and Crocus Collection (WSCC), a unique collection which contains representation genetic variability present in saffron crop wild relatives at global scale. At germplasm collection, housed Bank Plant Germplasm Cuenca (BGV-CU, Spain), consists 572 preserved accessions representing 47 different species (including Crocus) is expected to increase up more than 600 by end...
Essential oils from Greek Mentha species showed different chemical compositions for two populations of M. pulegium, characterized by piperitone and pulegone. spicata essential oil was endocyclic piperitenone epoxide, carvone. The bioactivities these their components have been tested against insect pests (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Spodoptera littoralis Myzus persicae), root-knot nematodes (Meloydogine javanica) plants (Lactuca sativa, Lolium perenne, Solanum lycopersicum). structure-activity...
This work presents the biocidal (insecticidal, ixodicidal, nematicidal, and phytotoxic) effects chemical compositions of three essential oils obtained from industrial steam distillation (IEOs) hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.), lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia or L. hybrida var. Super), cotton lavender (Santolina chamaecyparissus L.). Their composition analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry showed 1,8-cineole (53%) β-pinene (16%) as major components H. officinalis,...
Abstract Crude extracts and fractions from Echium wildpretii H. Pearson ex Hook . f. subsp. (Boraginaceae) have been tested against insect species Spodoptera littoralis, Leptinotarsa decemlineata , the aphids Myzus persicae, Diuraphis noxia, Metopolophium dirhodum, Rhopalosiphum maidis padi. The EtOH extract lipid steroidal of E. exhibited significant antifeedant activities L. decemlineata. Two bioactive mixtures composed fatty acid esters n ‐alkanes were obtained fraction. bioguided...
In this work the antifeedant effects of halogenated monoterpenes 1-13 were tested against several divergent insect species. These compounds have been isolated from Plocamium cartilagineum (6 was as an acetyl derivative), except for 4, which Pantoneura plocamioides. We also included semisynthetic derivatives 1a, 2a, and 7. Compounds 1, 2, 5, 7, 8-10, 13 antifeedants Leptinotarsa decemlineata with varying potencies. The aphids Myzus persicae Ropalosiphum padi strongly deterred in presence 12,...
The new sesquiterpenes, 5α-senecioyloxysilphinen-3-one (5), 5α-tigloyloxysilphinen-3-one (7), and 3β-hydroxy-5α-angeloyloxysilphinene (8), the known compounds (6S)-2,10-bisaboladien-1-one (1), 6,7-epoxy-3(15)-caryophyllene (2), 6,7-epoxy-2,9-humuladiene (3), 5α-angeloyloxysilphinen-3-one (4), 5α-acetoxysilphinen-3-one (6) were isolated from bioactive fractions of Senecio palmensis. structures these established by spectroscopic analysis chemical evidence. semisynthetic analogues...
Solid residues from the hydrodistillation of selected Spanish populations rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) have been analyzed for their polyphenol composition, and antioxidant bioplaguicide activities. The objective was to evaluate select most suitable plant materials as sources natural antioxidants crop protectants. Total content composition were very dependent on growth location: Aranjuez showed a higher total polyphenols richer in rosmarinic acid compared with equivalent Cuenca,...
In the context of study on plant defensive compounds we have isolated main alkaloid from Hippeastrum puniceum (Amaryllidaceae), 3-O-acetyl-narcissidine (1), and its biological activities tested against two divergent insect species several species. 1 was bioactive alkaloidal fraction H. puniceum. Its chemical structure established by spectroscopic analysis. The activity tests showed that is an antifeedant polyphagous Spodoptera littoralis but not olyphage Leptinotarsa decemlineata....
