Heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of Ruta graveolens were established by reversion of photom ixotrophic cultures without any change in the chemical composition of the growth medium. The heterotrophic cultures were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gaschromatography and mass spectroscopy for volatile compounds. The terpenoid hydrocarbons geijerene and pregeijerene, C6-C8 ketones,...

This study investigated the chemical composition and in-vitro cytotoxic activities of the essential oil isolated from the leaf of Beilschmiedia erythrophloia. The essential oil was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS. Fifty-five compounds were identified, representing 100% of the oil. The main components identified were beta-cary...

The chemical composition of the volatile metabolites of Crithmum maritimum harvested from several geographic localities along the Mediterranean coasts was studied by GC and GC-MSD. The major oil constituents were found to be dillapiole, gamma-terpinene, sabinene, limonene and beta-phellandrene. The Western populations were richer in dillapiole, whereas the Southern collections were characterize...

background & aim:mentha longifolia (l.) huds is an aromatic perennial herb that belongs to the   family lamiaceae. the aim of this study was to identify chemical composition of aerial parts   (including leaf, stem and flowers) of m. longifolia collected from   (kamu mountain) isfahan province. experimental: the essential oils were extracted   using the hydrodistillation method and analysed by g...

Investigating the intraspecific variability of volatiles produced by vegetation is fundamental importance in understanding their ecological roles and correctly assessing fluxes from covers. We characterized foliar emissions CO2/H2O-gas exchanges 80 seed-grown Kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.) saplings originating 4 populations located on a northeast–southwest transect Southern France. Emissions...

Abstract A sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep time (ST) study was conducted on intact males, Boer x Spanish goats (n = 30), selected for high (J+) or low juniper (J-) consumption with the objective to compare Phase I detoxification system of genetic divergent lines (EBV 13.1 ± 0.2 and -14.2 0.3, respectively). The ST following a minimum period 21 days three different diets: grazing infested ran...

Juniperus horizontalis Moench (Family Cupressaceae), commonly called creeping juniper, is a widely distributed species in the United States and much of Canada. It is potentially a source for two important chemical products, the anticancer drug synthetic precursor, podophyllotoxin and essential oils. The objectives of this study were to ascertain the likelihood of utilizing J. horizontalis needl...
