Fresh leaves, stems and roots of Cachrys cristata, were subjected to hydrodistillation and the oils obtained were analyzed by means of GC and GC-MS. Sixty eight constituents were in total identified, with (Z)β-ocimene (44.2% and 30.5%) dominating in leaves and stems oils, while the major metabolite of the roots was found to be p-tolualdehyde (39.6%), followed by (Z)-β-ocimene (15.2%). The micro...

Chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of Tagetes minuta (TM) essential oil (TMO) and Ocimum basilicum (OB) essential oil (OBO) were examined. The main components for TMO were dihydrotagetone (33.9%), E-ocimene (19.9%), tagetone (16.1%), cis-β-ocimene (7.9%), Z-ocimene (5.3%), limonene (3.1%) and epoxyocimene (2.03%).

In this paper we report on the large induction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a single leaf of the mossy sorrel, Rumex confertus Willd. (Polygonaceae), by herbivory of the red dock weevil (Apion miniatum Germ., Coleoptera: Apionidae). VOC blends induced by the red dock weevil herbivory included 5 green leaf volatiles (GLVs) ((Z)-3-hexenal, (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenol,...
