Shoots of Salvia officinalis, a medicinally important plant, were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains ATCC 15834 and A4 which led to the induction of hairy roots in 57% and 37% of the explants, respectively. Seven lines of hairy roots were established in WP liquid medium under light and dark conditions. The transformed nature of the root lines was confirmed by polymerase chain reacti...

Common sage (Salvia officinalis L.; Lamiaceae) is one of the most important herb known for its essential oil richness and extensive use in folk medicine. In the current study, we determined the effects of three drying methods on the chemical composition of the essential oil of Saliva officinalis L. The aerial parts of Saliva officinalis were collected from Iran at the full-flowering stage and d...

Background: Homoeopathic mother tinctures and herbal extracts are used worldwide for medicinal purposes on the basis that the plant extract contains the active components essential for medicinal use. Quality analysis of samples ensures that the correct active components are present for medicinal use. Thin layer chromatography has been used extensively to determine the quality of plant extracts ...

Our objective is to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts of Plectranthus mollis (P.mollis) and Salvia officinalis (S. officinalis) leaves locally used for treatment of microbial infection in Nilgiris of India. Antibacterial activity was determined by using agar diffusion and broth dilution methods against seven microorganisms. The antioxidant potential was a...

Rhizo-bacteria of high biocontrol potential against different Fusarium isolates were bio-assayed under both laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Eighty five rhizo-bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of plants growing in various desert areas were screened for their antagonistic activity against eight Fusarium isolates (four isolates of Fusarium solani and four isolates of Fusarium oxysporum)...

The inhibitory effects of essential oils as well as chloroformic extracts of Thymus vulgaris, Thymus serpyllum, Salvia officinalis and Pimpinella anisum grown in Ash-shoubak region-south of Jordan and their possible individual phytochemical constituents was screened against pathogenic clinical and standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The bioass...

background and objectives:plant essential oils are sometimes considered for use as antimicrobial agents in foods and medicines and they could be combined with other antimicrobial agents to strengthen the effect and/or reduce the required dose. this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of the ocimum basilicum, salvia officinalis and trachyspermum ammi essential oils and eval...
