The essential oils of six endemic Malagasy species were investigated by GC (RI), GC-MS and C NMR spectrometry. In total, 153 compounds were identified accounting for 90.8% to 99.9% of the total composition. The main constituents were α-pinene for 1,8-cineole for , (E)-β-caryophyllene for and . essential oil was characterized by the presence of two lilac alcohols and four lilac acetates whereas essential oil exhibited an atypical composition with 7β--silphiperfol-5-ene, 7-epi-subergorgiol, and 7-epi-silphiperfol-5-en-13-oic acid as major components.

Various practical strategies have been employed to mitigate the detrimental effects of water deficit stress on plants such as application of nano-stimulants. Nanosilicon plays a crucial role in alleviating the deleterious impacts of both abiotic and biotic stresses in plants by modulating various phyto-morphological and physiological processes. This study aimed to examine the combined effects of drought stress and nanosilicon application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and compositions of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.

This study was designed to evaluate the combined antimicrobial activity of selected phage cocktail (MS2+T7 phages) and essential oils (cinnamon, clove, oregano, and thymol) against Escherichia coli ATCC 15597. To select most effective phages, the lytic abilities of individual phages (MS2, phiX174, and T7) and their phage combinations were assessed using the phage spot test and plaque assay at various multiplicity of infections (MOIs) ranging from 0.01 to 100.
