background: it has been considered by researchers to study the possibility of replacing chemical food additives (synthetic antioxidants) by natural products (medicinal plants). objective: this study investigated the antioxidant properties of satureja hortensis l. essential oil (sheo) on safflower oil oxidation. methods: different assays have been used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of she...

Abstract The environmental benefits of agroforestry systems are well known. However, current knowledge potential allelopathic interactions is inadequate. decrease in soil fertility, the increasingly rhapsodic distribution precipitation, and special metabolism cultivation medicinal aromatic plants all harbingers medicinal-agroforestry systems. authors aimed to discover effects Juglans regia L. P...

The present investigation assessed the effects of a metalloid (arsenic) and two heavy metals (cadmium and mercury), on the growth and metal accumulation in two medicinal plant species, artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) and Savory (Satureja hortensis L.). The experiment was conducted hydroponically in spiked solution with different concentrations of arsenic (0, 20, 100, and 500 µM), cadmium (0, 10,...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of lead (Pb) exposure on bioaccumulation, growth, and tolerance mechanisms in summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.). Plants were subjected to different levels of Pb concentrations including 0 (control), 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 mg L-1 in growing medium. Pb treatment led to significant increase in root and shoot Pb content. Calculation of BF,...

one of the most common methods for conservation of plant genetic resources is their ex situ storage as seed gene banks. seeds that are stored in the gene banks must be regenerated due to exchange and seed deterioration; if they not be regenerated the potential benefits of infrastructure investments for germplasm ex situ conservation may not be attained. prediction of seed longevity is based on ...
