Phytochemical Characterization and Biological Activities of Essential Oil from L., a Medicinal Plant Grown under the Influence of Fertilization and Planting Dates.

The rising demand for safe plant compounds and herbal products that contribute positively to human health is in line with current market trends. Plants belonging to the genus, particularly the aromatic medicinal L. from the Lamiaceae family, are well suited to these trends as they serve as pharmaceutical raw materials.

Banana Peels: A Waste Treasure for Human Being.

In recent years, scientists' interest in agricultural waste has increased, and the waste has become attractive to explore and benefit from, rather than being neglected waste. Banana peels have attracted the attention of researchers due to their bioactive chemical components, so we focused on this review article on the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of banana peels that can be used as good sources of natural antioxidants and for pharmaceutical purposes in treating various diseases. Banana is an edible fruit belonging to the genus (Musaceae), cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions.

The Influence of Manganese on Growth Processes of L. (Poaceae) Seedlings.

Manganese, as one of the xenobionts, belongs to the group of heavy metals, which, in high concentrations, can negatively affect the development of plants. In small concentrations, it is necessary for plants for normal growth and development. It is present in soils and is available to plants to varying degrees.

Major and Trace Element Content of L. Wildlife Plants.

The genus L. (Zygophyllaceae) includes 12 species, the most important of which is L. This annual herb grows in temperate and tropical climates, and has a rich chemical composition of biologically active substances and chemical elements.

Response of Biomass Development, Essential Oil, and Composition of Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. to Irrigation Frequency and Harvest Time.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of four irrigation intervals (4, 8, 12, and 16 days) and six harvests (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after transplanting) on biomass, essential oil content, and composition of Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. Fresh weight and essential oil yield decreased with increasing irrigation interval; whereas, essential oil content was stimulated by water stress and increased as the irrigation interval increased.
