Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Hydrogel Containing ssp. Essential-Oil-Loaded Polymeric Micelles for Enhanced Treatment of Melanoma.

ssp. essential oil (OEO) is a natural oil with high therapeutic potential. For some applications, however, the development of novel formulations is still needed to improve the bioavailability and stability of OEO.

Cytokinins enhance the metabolic activity of in vitro-grown catmint (Nepeta nuda L.).

The phytohormones cytokinins are essential mediators of developmental and environmental signaling, primarily during cell division and endophytic interactions, among other processes. Considering the limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that affect the growth and bioactivity of the medicinal plant Nepeta nuda (Lamiaceae), our study aimed to explore how cytokinins influence the plant's metabolic status. Exogenous administration of active cytokinin forms on in vitro N.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Bulgarian Autochthonous Sheep Breeds Revealed by Microsatellite Analysis.

This study attempts to provide a deeper insight into the current genetic status of 12 Bulgarian autochthonous sheep breeds using microsatellite (SSR) markers. A total of 600 individuals from 50 flocks were analyzed using a panel of 13 SSR markers. In total, 228 alleles were found in the studied microsatellite loci.

Uncovering the Interrelation between Metabolite Profiles and Bioactivity of In Vitro- and Wild-Grown Catmint ( L.).

L. is a medicinal plant enriched with secondary metabolites serving to attract pollinators and deter herbivores. Phenolics and iridoids of have been extensively investigated because of their beneficial impacts on human health.

A Set of Highly Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for Genetic Diversity Studies in the Genus .

This study reports the development of a set of 20 highly polymorphic genomic SSR markers which can be used for both cultivar identification and genetic diversity studies in several species, including some of the most popular ones like Greek oregano ( L. ssp. ), common oregano ( L.
