The short-term actions of Lavandula officinalis and Equisetum arvense dry extracts, and of isoquercitrin, flavonoid present in Equisetum arvense, on in vitro fermentation by rumen microbes were studied in batch culture. The orchard grass hay:barley ratios in the three experimental diets were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50 on a DM basis. The production rates of all volatile fatty acids except isobutyrate w...

A total of 34 floral visitors of Lavandula latifolia (Labiatae) at a southern Spanish locality were examined from the perspective of their "quality" as pollinators. I considered frequency of pollen transfer, number of pollen grains deposited on the stigma, selection of floral sexual stage (flowers are markedly protandrous), and patterns of flight distance between flowers. Hymenoptera deposited ...

A propagação vegetativa da alfazema oferece muitas vantagens comparada à propagação sexuada entre elas, homogeneidade da lavoura e produção de óleo essencial de melhor qualidade. Todavia, espécies de Lavandula têm sido propagadas principalmente por sementes e são consideradas recalcitrantes ao enraizamento na propagação por estaquia. Durante a propagação por estaquia, uma das importantes variáv...

The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of Mentha × piperita L. (MP) and Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (LA) extracts in terms of hydroxycinnamic acid (HCAs) content, in particular, caffeic (CA), p-cumaric (CU), ferulic (FE), and rosmarinic (RS) acids using LC-MS. Also, the in vitro antimicrobial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and the antiproliferative activity ...

results the mean age in breathing technique with lavender and breathing technique alone were 25.5 ± 4.3 and 26 ± 4.9, respectively .two groups were comparable in this regards (p = 0.6), but the length of active phase in interventional group was 7.85 ± 3.85 hours and in the control group it was 9.88 ± 6.65 hours. the decrease of the length of labor in the active phase was higher in the experimen...

callus and suspension cultures of lavandula angustifolia mill. (lamiaceae) were established and the effect of different culture media on growth rate was investigated. terpenoids added to suspension culture to investigate their biotrans-formation. all samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) and gc-mass spectroscopy (ms). octan-1-ol, citronellol, linalool, borneol and geraniol were biotr...
