“…The plates were used in triplicate for each treatment. Furthermore, the minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oils was determined by agar dilution method against F. oxysporum, H. maydis and A. solani [12,19,20].…”

“…The essential oils of Lamiaceae species are accredited with antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and fungicidal properties [8][9][10][11][12][13].

“…For example, recent studies (Bisht et al, 2010;Khanavi et al, 2012) reported that many species of the genus can be used as antispasmodic, diuretic, febrifuge, diaphoretic and for tooth trouble, kidney and also liver disease. Moreover, species of Nepeta have different properties as analgesic, anticancer, antiseptic, antilazheimeran, antitussive, carminative, digestive, antispasmodic, laxative as well as sedative (Nazemiyeh et al, 2009;Kumar et al, 2014). The members of this genus are: annual or perennial herbs, generally aromatic, sporadically gynodioecious or gynomonoecious.…”

Infra-generic morphological variations in some Nepeta L. taxa of Iran

Nepeta L. is one of the most important genera of the Lamiaceae family, which widely distributed all over the word. The members of this genus are use of traditional and modern medicine. Nepeta species growth naturally in various parts of Iran and recent years the number of its species is increasing. In the study, morphological characteristics of twenty four populations of seventeen Nepeta taxa were used for infra-generic classifications, because there were many discussions about infra-generic classification of this genus. For this, forty qualitative as well as quantitative morphological features of both vegetative and reproductive organs were examined. Data were analyses with MVSP and SPSS softwares. ANOVA test showed significant variations for all the studied quantitative traits, with the exception of flower number per cycle. Furthermore, most of qualitative characters such as basal and floral leaf shape and petal color differed between taxa. PCA-biplot and CA joint plot showed that some morphological characters had taxonomic value and were useful in identifications of species. In many cases, clustering of species in the UPGMA tree, PCA and PCO plots did not confirm species placements in groups/ sections according to modern classifications. Furthermore, populations of same species did not cluster closely. It seems that ecological conditions had strong effect on different features of this study and high infra-specific variations were found among the studied species.

“…Towards this direction the bioactivity of several plant extracts has been studied (Kumar et al, 2014). The chemical composition of the essential oils, phenolic compounds and flavonoids has been previously studied either for evaluation of aromatic properties or the antioxidant and biological activity (Castilho et al, 2012;Dzamic et al, 2013;Kaliora et al, 2014;Licina et al, 2013;Martins et al, 2014Martins et al, , 2015.…”

In this study, the biological activity of selected Greek medicinal and aromatic plants on the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata was investigated. Biological activity was screened on crude aqueous extracts and their aqueous phase (ap-pt) after further extraction with petroleum ether. All the Lamiaceae species examined were found to enhance significantly the mycelium growth. Melissa officinalis extracts caused the highest stimulation in mycelium growth, (+109.1%) the ap-pt, and (+51.6%) its crude extract. All ap-pt extracts stimulated conidia production, but Melissa officinalis caused the highest effect (+349.3%). Crude extracts of Salvia officinalis stimulated highly conidial production (+65%) whereas Hyssopus. officinalis and Origanum vulgare inhibited conidia production at 33.3% and 50.0% respectively. The differences in biological activity between crude and ap-pt extracts for each plant species were attributed through the calculation of correspondent synergism ratios (SR) to the interaction between volatile and water -soluble. Rosmarinic acid, detected as the most abundant phenolic compound in all extracts analyzed and found to correlate strongly (R= 0.84) with the stimulation effect on spore production of A. alternata.
