Antibacterial activity and chemical constitutions of Ziziphora clinopodioides

Potential Roles of Essential Oils on Controlling Plant Pathogenic Bacteria Xanthomonas Species: A Review

“…In recent years, the use of antimicrobial compounds such as essential oils is one of the first choices after outbreaks of bacterial plant diseases (Ornek et al, 2007). Interest has been generated in the development of safer antibacterial agents to control plant pathogenic bacteria in agriculture which also include essential oils (Nguefack et al, 2005;Ozturk and Ercisli, 2007).…”

“…Essential oils, which are odorous and volatile products of plant secondary metabolism, have wide applications in controlling plant pathogenic bacteria (Ozturk and Ercisli, 2007). Recently we reported the in vitro antibacterial efficacy of essential oils derived from the cones of M. glyptostroboides and C. operculatus buds which were quantitatively assessed against plant pathogenic bacteria of Xanthomonas species, such as X. campestris pv.…”

In vitro antioxidant and antibacterial properties and total phenolic contents of essential oils from Thymus vulgaris, T. kotschyanus, Ziziphora tenuior and Z. clinopodioides

“…Chemical composition, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Z. clinopodioides have been reported [13]. Several studies have been reported the antibacterial activity of Z. clinopodioides [13][14][15][16]. However, there is only one report on antioxidant activity of this plant [13].…”

Variability in <i>Ziziphora clinopodioides </i>subsp. <i>bungeana</i> (Juz.) Based on Morphological Traits and Essential Oils Profile

“…The main constituents were pulegone (36.45%), piperitenone (19.12%), and menth-2-lenalol (5.31%). Menthol, (+)-pulegone, 1,8-cineole and limonene were found to be the main components of the essential oils of Z. clinopodioides (Ozturk and Ercisli, 2007). Moreover, the species is able to produce some phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid or flavonoid derivatives including luteolin, 7-methylsudachitin or thymonin (Yang et al, 2008).…”

“…Blue Mint Bush with the scientific name of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam., locally known as "kakuti-e kuhi" grows wild in Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Iraq (Sardashti et al, 2012;Schulz et al, 2005). This species is an edible medicinal plant which the dried aerial parts, leaves, flowers and stem of the plant are used for production of tea, condiments or additive in foods and yogurt and other dairy products to offer aroma and flavor (Meral et al, 2002;Ozturk and Ercisli, 2007;Zargari, 1993). Ziziphora clinopodioides encompasses nine subspecies native to Iran.…”
