Four compounds beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside, ursolic acid and 4',5,6-trihydroxy-3', 7-dimethoxyflavone were characterized from the dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of Satureja khuzistanica (Lamiaceae), a native medicinal plant growing in Iran, on the basis of spectral analysis and comparing with the data in literature. The natural occurrence of these co...

As we know, Savory herb is one of the most important medicinal plants of Iran that belongs to Lamiaceae family which about 284 species have been identified in the world. Iran, as one of the most important repositories of Savory germplasm in the world, has about 16 species of Satureja genus. Because of so many useful medicinal properties of Savory, this plant has been considered in many recent s...

The genus Satureja is represented by fifteen species of which five are endemic and Satureja pilosa and S. icarica have recently been found as new records for Turkey. Aerial parts of the Satureja pilosa, S. icarica, S. boissieri and S. coerulea collected from different localities in Turkey were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield essential oils which were subsequently analysed by GC and GC/M...

The purpose of this study was to compare the essential oil profiles of four South-Croatian Satureja species, as determined by GC/FID and GC/MS, with their DNA sequences for an internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. A phylogenetic analysis showed that S. montana and S. cuneifolia, characterized by a similar essential oil composition, rich in the monoterpene hy...

The genus Satureja belonging to the Lamiaceae family includes about 200 species, generally aromatic, distributed in Mediterranean basin. In Satureja, chromosomal data were reported from only 26 species. this study, it is aimed eliminate deficiencies of which are Turkey, center origin and diversity Satureja. It was one chromosome number (2n = 30), first report for numbers three taxa, same count ...

in order to study, the effect of pre-cooling treatment, osmotic potential and water stress on some population of two species of satureja bachtiarica and satureja sahendica was studied by a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications in laboratory and greenhouse conditions during one year in the gene bank of institute of forests and range lands by the years...

The genus Satureja L. (Lamiaceae) consists of more than 200 species of herbaceous perennials worldwide. The Mediterranean region can be described as the center of the genus (1). This genius in flora of Iran is represented by fourteen species distributed commonly in rocky mountains (2, 3). Nine Satureja species has been reported in ìFlora Iranicaî (4), two of which, S. kallarica Jamzad and S. ba...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Satureja hortensis and Trachyspermum copticum essential oils against different kinds of microorganisms in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay and the chemical composition of essential oils was analyzed by GC and G...
