Implications of the Propagation Method for the Phytochemistry of L. throughout a Growing Season.

Catnip ( L.) plants produce a wide array of specialized metabolites with multiple applications for human health. The productivity of such metabolites, including nepetalactones, and natural insect repellents is influenced by the conditions under which the plants are cultivated.

Volatile metabolites from new cultivars of catnip and oregano as potential antibacterial and insect repellent agents.

Plant based natural products have been widely used as antibacterial and insect repellent agents globally. Because of growing resistance in bacterial plant pathogens and urban pests to current methods of control, combined with the long- and short-term negative impact of certain chemical controls in humans, non-target organisms, and the environment, finding alternative methods is necessary to prevent and/or mitigate losses caused by these pathogens and pests. The antibacterial and insect repellent activities of essential oils of novel cultivars of catnip ( L.

Successive harvests affect the aromatic and polyphenol profiles of novel catnip ( L.) cultivars in a genotype-dependent manner.

Introduction: Catnip ( L.) produces volatile iridoid terpenes, mainly nepetalactones, with strong repellent activity against species of arthropods with commercial and medical importance. Recently, new catnip cultivars CR3 and CR9 have been developed, both characterized by producing copious amounts of nepetalactones.

Investigation of Volatile Iridoid Terpenes in L. (Catnip) Genotypes.

Catnip ( L.) is of scientific interest largely due to the production of nepetalactones, volatile iridoid terpenes with strong arthropod repellent activity. However, the plant can also produce other bioactive volatile iridoids, such as nepetalic acid (NA), nepetalactam (NT) and dihydronepetalactone (DHNL) that have not been studied extensively.

Data of insecticide effects of natural compounds against third instar larvae of .

Morphological biomarkers can be used to establish a diagnosis of fly larvae structural damage and toxicity to target cells by biopesticide candidates. Insecticide activity of natural compounds such as essential oil (CLLEO) extracted from leaves, and its major constituent -phellandrene have proven to be a novel biopesticide candidate against third instar larvae (L3) of . In this way, groups of 20 L3 were placed on filter paper impregnated with different concentrations of CLLEO, from 0.
