Twenty-two different herbaceous perennials were studied for their reaction to separate inoculations of Meloidogyne arenaria and M. incognita under greenhouse conditions. Perennial taxa that did not develop root-galls following inoculation, and therefore are considered as nonhosts of both nematode species, included species and cultivars of Aethionema, Fragaria, Phlox, and Polygonum. Echinacea, M...

The present study was designed to investigate chemical composition antioxidant antimicrobial activities essential oils extracted from wild S. (EOSS) domesticated (EOSD) for comparison purposes. Hydrodistillation used extract (EOs), while GC/MS analysis. Antioxidant activity...

The aim of this study was to assess antioxidant properties of four in Lithuanian growing Nepeta varieties, namely N. cataria, N. cataria var. citriodora, N. transcaucasica and N. bulgaricum. The plants were extracted using different polarity solvents, namely acetone, methanol, ethanol and water. The antioxidant properties were assessed by determining total content of phenolics, using free DPPH•...

This study was designed to evaluate, for the first time, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Nepeta × faassenii essential oil (NEO). Twenty-six compounds were identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis, which 4a alpha,7alpha,7a alpha-nepetalactone (34.12%), elemol (23.23%), spiro(5,6)dodecane (13.73%), 3,4 alpha-dihydro-4a alpha, 7 7a (7.93%) major compounds. The NEO ex...
