Effect of methyl jasmonate on secondary metabolites of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).

The effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in terms of its induction of inherent bioactive chemicals in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) was evaluated after MeJA was sprayed on healthy basil plants. The total phenolic content of the sweet basil significantly increased after 0.

Parthenolide and abscisic acid synthesis in feverfew are associated but environmental factors affect them dissimilarly.

The effect of harvest time, shading prior to harvest and water stress on parthenolide (PRT) concentration in feverfew and its possible connection with the abscisic acid (ABA) pathway were investigated. In plants harvested at different times of the day, acetumar the PRT levels were highest during late afternoon while ABA levels were greatest during morning hours. Shading plants during the afternoon prior to harvest caused a two-fold increase in ABA and no significant difference in PRT levels.

Effect of chitosan on the biological properties of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).

The effect of the treatment of chitosan at various concentrations (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.
