Rosmarinus officinalis L.: Rosemary

Sustainable and Efficacy Approach of Green Synthesized Cobalt Oxide (Co3O4) Nanoparticles and Evaluation of Their Cytotoxicity Activity on Cancerous Cells

“…), a common household plant, an evergreen perennial aromatic shrub native to the northern and southern coasts of the Mediterranean Sea [ 24 ]. Recent research has suggested that traditional medicinal herbs may help in preventing or treating certain metabolic problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and some types of cancer [ 25 ]. Dried rosemary leaves and flowers are particularly interesting sources of biologically active phytochemicals because they contain a number of phenolic compounds with significant in vitro antioxidant activity, such as carnosol, carnosic acid, rosmanol, 7-methyl-epirosmanol, isorosmanol, rosmadial, and caffeic acid [ 26 , 27 ], as shown in Figure 1 .…”

Long‐term experimental drought alters floral scent and pollinator visits in a Mediterranean plant community despite overall limited impacts on plant phenotype and reproduction

“…Similar visit frequencies in control and drought plots could ensure pollination success and seed set production in the generalist plant species (or at least, species visited by a range of pollinators), although changes in the visitor community composition may have led to slight changes in the pollination efficiency (Burkle & Alarcón, 2011). Self‐pollination is limited in the species studied (Blasco & Mateu, 1995; Hammer & Junghanns, 2020), but how drought may affect self‐pollination rate is unknown. Alternatively, the minor changes measured in seed germination may be due to a physiological plant response to drought.…”

“…Despite such low diversity, this plant community is natural, and is representative of the site and of the type of dense, closed vegetation plant communities found in the region in areas where wildfires are ancient (>10 years; Pimont et al, 2018). Thymus vulgaris , C. albidus and S. rosmarinus are all perennial, entomogamous shrub species; T. vulgaris is gynodioecious and obligate entomogamous (dichogamous; Arnan et al, 2014), while S. rosmarinus and C. albidus are self‐compatible but with limited self‐pollination (Blasco & Mateu, 1995; Hammer & Junghanns, 2020). A fourth shrub species, Ulex parviflorus Pourr., 1788, was also present but very rare (0.3% percentage cover) with very few flowers during the study period, and other flowering species were even rarer (Table S3).…”

Combined Effects of Domestication and Extraction Technique on Essential Oil Yield, Chemical Profiling, and Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)

“…Teir contents depend on plant parts. Moreover, various kinds of phytochemicals are found in R. ofcinalis depending on a set of factors such as plant part, processing technique, and geographical origin, among others [2,12]. Te most important ones are borneol acetate, camphor, eucalyptol, α-pinene, β-pinene, β-caryophyllene, verbenone, myrcene, borneol, camphene, and 1,8-cineole.…”
