Knowledge of phylogenetic relatedness and cytogenetic characteristics can facilitate breeding programs interspecific hybridization in ornamentals. In this study genetic relationships, genome sizes chromosome numbers were determined a collection 82 lavender genotypes, including 15 hybrids. Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) marker analysis revealed 5 clusters, corresponding to the sec...

A comprehensive survey of the leaf flavonoids of the genus Lavandula and the related Sabaudia group was carried out using two-dimensional paper chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The flavonoid patterns obtained were found to be systematically informative at the infrageneric level. Three main groupings were identified: the first containing sections Lavandula, Dentata and ...

Aromatic plants have subscribed to the belief that they can be used in food, perfumery, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products due to their nutritional and biological properties. The present study was designed to examine the chemical composition and antibacterial and analgesic properties of Lavandula stoechas flowers originating Amol, north of Iran for the first time. The essential oil o...

Since time immemorial humankind benefits from plants as nutritient, medicine, cosmetic or to make tools and shelters for itself. Through history, traditional knowledge was gathered by trial-and-error method, practices were developed sustained. It has been passed on generation reach our day. This study aims gather information medicinal used traditionally against cardiovascular diseases in Turkey...

The antifungal properties of some commercial plant waters obtained as side products in producing distilled oils were investigated. Paper disc samples were impregnated with various plant waters and exposed to wood decay fungi for 3 months in Petri dishes. Ten types of plant water (Laurus nobilis, Calluna vulgaris, Lavandula stoechas, Thymus vulgaris, Myrtus communis, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha ...

This paper analyses the relationship between Lavandula stoechas subsp. pedunculata, a common Mediterranean scrub species in central Iberia, and perennial grasslands. While Lavandula gives rise to almost monospecific formations in intermediate and upper hill zones, perennial grasses occupy the low areas. The proposed explanatory hypothesis for this spatial distribution is that the scrub is unabl...
