Background: Summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. Objective: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of FeSO4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in S. hortensis. Methods: FeSO4 in four levels (0, 3, ...

for finding out the effect of nitrogen and calcium carbonate fertilizers on nitrate and nitrogen accumulation in aboveground biomass, calcium concentration and dry weight of leaves of satureja hortensis l., a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in karaj in 2008. the nitrogen fertilizer was in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg. ...

Background & Aim:Cadmium is an important industrial and environmental pollutant. Cadmium is one of the most toxic and carcinogenic heavy metals to organisms.

(Lamiaceae family), was evaluated for its activity aga...

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,...
