Chemical composition, antioxidant and insecticidal properties of essential oils from wild and cultivated Salvia aucheri subsp. blancoana (Webb. & Helder)), an endemic, threatened medicinal plant in Morocco

Composition of the Essential Oil of Salvia ballotiflora (Lamiaceae) and Its Insecticidal Activity

“…On the other hand, Hosseini et al [22] showed that the CL 50 of essential oil of Salvia leriifolia against adults of Sitophilus granarius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), after 24 h were 79.17 μL·L −1 and 25.87 μL·L −1 respectively. Moreover, Khiyari et al [23] also reported the insecticidal activity of two essential oils of Salvia aucheri , one from a wild plant and another from a cultivated plant against adults of Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae); the authors determined the CL 50 and CL 90 for each, and the wild plant the values were 1.00 μL·cm −2 , 1.72 μL·cm −2 , respectively, and for the cultivated plant the values were 1.25 μL·cm −2 and 2.03 μL·cm −2 . Ulukanli et al [14] evaluated the activity of essential oil of Salvia tomentosa against adults of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) and T. castaneum ; this oil caused 100% mortality at 50 µL·L −1 air and 200 µL·L −1 air for each insect.…”

Essential oil composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of wild and cultivated Lavandula mairei Humbert

“…Therefore, cultivation of these medicinal plants might become a promising alternative for their conservation and sustainable use. Several studies have already shown the interest of culture practice on conservation of medicinal plants El Abdouni Khiyari et al, 2014;El Bouzidi et al, 2013). Furthermore, the increasing concern on the development of resistance by bacteria to synthetic antibiotics has lead to an urgent need for alternative strategies for the control of bacterial infections.…”

Antioxidant, free radical scavenging and GC–MS composition of Cinnamomum iners Reinw. ex Blume

“…Various phytoconstituents and their potential industrial applications have been reported previously (Puri et al, 2012;El Abdouni Khiyari et al, 2014). Antioxidants, in general, play a vital role in the removal of free radicals that are often generated in living systems, and hence, they can be used against various chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases (Arts et al, 2001).…”
