The effect of accelerated aging (AA) was studied in Basil (Ociumum basilicm L.) seeds. The objective of this research was to evaluate Effect of seed ageing on germination of Basil Seeds in Roodan University in year 2012. experiment was CRD design with 3 replicate. The seeds were artificially aged at 45°C and 100% relative humidity for 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. Results indicated germination perc...

This Memorandum is being sent by Sir Basil to several organisations asking for comments and suggestions. The Council of the N.A.M.H. will be considering it shortly. It may be remembered that in the evidence given by the Association to the Ingleby Committee (in April 1958), recommendations very much on those proposed in the Memorandum were included and reference was made to the new procedure in ...

The heterogeneity of methods and technologies to publish open data is still an issue to develop distributed systems on the Web. On the one hand, Web APIs, the most popular approach to offer data services, implement REST principles, which focus on addressing loose coupling and interoperability issues. On the other hand, Linked Data, available through SPARQL endpoints, focus on data integration b...

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is extensively cultivated as either an important spice and food additive or a source of essential oil crucial for the production of natural phenylpropanoids and terpenoids. It is frequently attacked by fungal diseases. The aim of the study was to estimate the impact of thiuram contact time on the uptake of manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead by...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF STUDY: Skin aging is a complex process induced by constant exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and damages human skin. UV generates reactive oxygen species leading to collagen deficiency and eventually skin wrinkling. Basil contains a number of phenolics and favonoids which possess antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to formulate and i...

Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used extensively in pest control. On the other hand it showed different toxicity in mammalian animals. Basil or sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a plant which showed many pharmacological effects. The present work studied the potential protective effect of Ocimum basilicum extract on deltamethrin-induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats. Treating animals wi...

Some basil varieties are able to convert the phenylpropenes chavicol and eugenol to methylchavicol and methyleugenol, respectively. Chavicol O-methyltransferase (CVOMT) and eugenol O-methyltransferase (EOMT) cDNAs were isolated from the sweet basil variety EMX-1 using a biochemical genomics approach. These cDNAs encode proteins that are 90% identical to each other and very similar to several is...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is well known for its diverse pharmacological properties and has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various ailments. Although a variety of secondary metabolites with potent biological activities are identified, our understanding of the biosynthetic pathways that produce them has remained largely incomplete. We studied transcriptional ch...

Background: Liver cancer is the second outstanding reason for cancer-related death global and thus a main public health challenge. Plant-based drugs are regarded as promising therapies. Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi extracts have shown therapeutic impacts on various cancers. Therefore, we assessed the effects of the extract of Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi on cell proliferation and BCL2 e...

in order to study the possibility of intercropping of basil and sesame, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2009-2010. treatments consisted of different planting ratio, p1: sole cropping of basil, p2: 75% basil+ 25% sesame, p3: 50% basil+ 50 % sesam...
