Objective: To evaluate lipoxygenase inhibitory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of selected essential oils. Materials and Methods: Essential oils were obtained by hydro distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus and oils composition was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of essential oils was evaluated by lipoxygenase inhibition assay...

Tropospheric ozone is one of the major drivers of global change. This stress factor alters plant growth and development. Ozone could act as a selection pressure on species communities composition, but also on population genetic background, thus affecting life history traits. Our objective was to evaluate the consequences of prolonged ozone exposure of a weed community on phenotypic traits of Sp...

Aims We investigate the effect of position within a size-structured population on the reproductive allocation (RA) and flowering probability of individual plants of Sinapis arvensis. We also assess the effects of plant size and changing level of CO2 on both responses. Methods Sinapis arvensis L., (field mustard), an annual agricultural weed, was grown in monoculture at six densities under ambie...
