Essential Oil Yield, Composition, and Bioactivity of Sagebrush Species in the Bighorn Mountains.

Sagebrush ( spp.) are dominant wild plants in large areas of the U.S.

Allelopathic Effects of Essential Oils on Seed Germination of Barley and Wheat.

In this study, we evaluated the allelopathic effects of essential oils (EOs) from six different plant species, namely, lavender (), hyssop (), English thyme (), lovage (), costmary (), and cumin (), on seed germination and seedling growth of barley () and wheat (). The main constituents of the EOs of were 47.0% linalool acetate and 28.

Utilization of Nutmeg ( Houtt.) Seed Hydrodistillation Time to Produce Essential Oil Fractions with Varied Compositions and Pharmacological Effects.

The intent of this study was to utilize distillation timeframes (DT) of nutmeg () essential oil (EO) to generate fractions with differential chemical compositions and bioactivity. Ten fractions were captured at the following distillation timeframes: 0.0-0.

Dual Utilization of Medicinal and Aromatic Crops as Bioenergy Feedstocks.

Dual production of biofuels and chemicals can increase the economic value of lignocellulosic bioenergy feedstocks. We compared the bioenergy potential of several essential oil (EO) crops with switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.), a crop chosen to benchmark biomass and lignocellulosic biofuel production.

Essential Oil Content, Composition and Bioactivity of Juniper Species in Wyoming, United States.

The objective of this study was to evaluate variations in leaf essential oil (EO) content and composition of Juniperus species in the Bighorn Mountains {J comimunis L. (common juniper), J. horizontalis Moench.

Dual extraction of essential oil and podophyllotoxin from creeping juniper (Juniperus horizontalis).

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.

Distillation time alters essential oil yield, composition, and antioxidant activity of male Juniperus scopulorum trees.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 15 distillation times (DT), ranging from 1.25 to 960 min, on oil yield, essential oil profiles, and antioxidant capacity of male J. scopulorum trees.

Wool-waste as organic nutrient source for container-grown plants.

A container experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that uncomposted wool wastes could be used as nutrient source and growth medium constituent for container-grown plants. The treatments were: (1) rate of wool-waste application (0 or unamended control, 20, 40, 80, and 120 g of wool per 8-in. pot), (2) growth medium constituents [(2.
