A "hérnia das crucíferas" é a principal doença na produção de brássicas na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba-PR. Fatores ambientais favoráveis, ausência de cultivares resistentes e de controle químico eficiente, aliados ao plantio sucessivo de espécies da mesma família, têm colaborado para sua disseminação. Com o objetivo de controlar a doença com menor impacto ambiental, o presente estudo verificou o efeito do pré-plantio de plantas medicinais e aromáticas na redução de inóculo de Plasmodiophora brassicae. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos em casa de vegetação no Setor de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal do Paraná, nos períodos de junho a novembro de 2003 e julho a dezembro de 2004. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com nove tratamentos e seis repetições. As plantas utilizadas nos tratamentos foram: menta (Mentha piperita L.); alfavaca (Ocimum basilicum L.); bardana (Arctium minus Hill); calêndula (Calendula officinalis L.); cebolinha (Allium fistulosum L.); salsa (Petroselinum hortense Hoffm) e sálvia (Salvia officinalis L.), e como testemunhas foram utilizados solos sem patógeno e solo infestado, ambos em pousio. Utilizaram-se vasos contendo 3 Kg de solo esterilizado via vapor e como inóculo de P. brassicae foram utilizados 2,5 g de galhas por vaso. A rúcula (Eruca sativa Mill) foi o hospedeiro suscetível utilizado. Após 45 dias do plantio da rúcula foram determinadas a massa aérea fresca, incidência de galhas galhas e o índice de severidade. A maior massa aérea fresca e as menores severidades foram obtidas no experimento de 2003, nos tratamentos com o pré-plantio das medicinais bardana, salsa, menta, alfavaca e cebolinha.

The physico-chemical properties by means of UV-spectroscopy and the lipid composition of extracts from Salvia officinalis L. leaves, the Calendula officinalis L and Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers; Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits were studied. It is shown that extracts characterized the low shares of phospholipids and a trace content of sterols in the total lipid composition. Extracts studied are in the following sequence in accordance with decreasing the phospholipid share in the total lipid composition: Salvia officinalis L. leaves > Calendula officinalis L flowers = Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits > Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers. It is shown that the quantitative ratio of phospholipid fractions is determined by the nature of the plant. Thus, the highest relative content of the phospholipid lysoforms in extracts was found in Calendula officinalis L flowers and Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits, the highest share of sphingolipids was revealed in phospholipids of Calendula officinalis L and Matricaria chamomilla L flower extracts, and the phospholipids of Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruit extracts contained the highest amount of phosphatidylcholine. The high content of the more easily oxidizable fractions in the phospholipid composition especially for Salvia officinalis L. leaves are revealed. Using UV-spectrometry of extracts and mathematical analysis of these data the presence of flavonoids with different chemical structure is confirmed.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether powdered plants of different species namely: peppermint Mentha piperita (L.) (Lamiaceae), wormwood Artemisia absinthium (L.) (Asteraceae), common sage Salvia officinalis (L.) (Lamiaceae), allspice Pimenta dioica (Linnaeus et Merrill) (Myrtaceae) and common garlic Allium sativum (L.) (Amaryllidaceae), added to semolina using concentrations of 1.23, 3.61, and 5.88%, influence the mortality rate in the saw-toothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Silvanidae). Experiments were conducted in a laboratory at 28°C and relative humidity 60±5%. At the concentration of 1.23%, allspice seeds caused the highest mortality amongst the saw-toothed grain beetle. When concentrations of 3.61 and 5.88% were used, sage, peppermint and wormwood caused the highest statistically significant mortality of O. surinamensis

Lipid photooxidation is the undesirable chemical process in which singlet oxygen result in the peroxidation of fatty acids. In this study leaves methanolic extracts of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), marjoram (Origanum majorana L.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and sage (Salvia officinalis L.) were applied as the natural singlet oxygen scavenger. Amount of flavonoid compounds as the singlet oxygen scavenger agent in these plant species were decreased in the order of peppermint > marjoram> sage > rosemary. Also, The rate of quenching of singlet oxygen in the presence of 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as a well-known singlet oxygen scavenger and highly effective synthetic antioxidants in food industry such as Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and peppermint decreased in the order of peppermint > BHA > TBHQ > DABCO >. Furthermore, photooxidation of oleic acid as an unsaturated fatty acid in the presence of DABCO, peppermint, BHA and TBHQ indicated a preservation of 82.77%, 73.39%, 71.57% and 53.10% on peroxidation of oleic acid, respectively which reveals peppermint has an efficient role on protection of fatty acids from photooxidation. Practical application: In this study, it was confirmed that peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) performs an effective role in restricting or limitation of singlet oxygen generation and fatty acid photooxidation. In vitro study of scavenging effect of peppermint can correlate laboratory results to commercial scale up. However, this would also necessitate the progress of improved methods for the measurement of lipid peroxidation in vivo in the presence of peppermint.

On small production lots on which medicinal plants are grown, irrigation systems of a smaller capacity (“drip, drip” and “sprinkling” systems) are mainly used. The water for irrigation should be in keeping with the national and the potential European quality standards, and should be as “free” as possible of potential pollutants, such as feces, heavy metals, pesticides, and toxicologically hazardous matters. Therefore, in this chapter, several priority MAPs are selected according to their importance for this sector, and their needs are analyzed in drought and irrigation conditions. In this group of plants, the authors included the following: marshmallow (Althaea officinalis L.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.), lovage (Levisticum officinale Koch), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.), ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), marigold (Calendula officinalis L.), and basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).

The investigation about the leaf wounding effect on plant physiological procedures and on leaf pigments content will contribute to the understanding of the plants’ responses against this abiotic stress. During the experiment, some physiological parameters such as photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance as well as the chlorophyll and anthocyanin leaf contents of Ocimum basilicum, Salvia officinalis, and Mentha piperita plants were measured for about 20–40 days. All the measurements were conducted on control and wounded plants while in the latter, they were conducted on both wounded and intact leaves. A wide range of responses was observed in the wounded leaves, that is: (a) immediate decrease of the gas exchange parameters and long-term decrease of almost all the measured variables from O. basilicum, (b) immediate but only short-term decrease of the gas exchange parameters and no effect on pigments from M. piperita, and (c) no effect on the gas exchange parameters and decrease of the pigments content from S. officinalis. Regarding the intact leaves, in general, they exhibited a similar profile with the control ones for all plants. These results imply that the plant response to wounding is a complex phenomenon depending on plant species and the severity of the injury.

El banano, principal producto de exportación en Colombia, presenta muchos retos técnicos como el control de la tortuguilla (Colaspis sp.), causante del 33% de pérdidas económicas; dado que los estándares de calidad no permiten la presencia de residuos químicos presentes en los frutos, se evaluó en un cultivo comercial, del municipio de los Córdobas, el efecto de extractos vegetales en el manejo de la tortuguilla. Se evaluó la severidad del ataque a partir del número de roeduras en frutos y la incidencia en racimos y frutos tratados. Los extractos utilizados fueron salvia Salvia officinalis L., anamú Petiveria alliacea L., albahaca Ocimum basilicum L., ajo Allium sativum L. y ají picante Capsicum annuum asperjados con una bomba tipo jardinera sobre bolsas comerciales de polietileno; dejándose expuestas durante una hora para asegurar la adherencia del producto. Se estableció un diseño completamente al azar con siete tratamientos, tres repeticiones, un testigo relativo (bolsa sin extracto vegetal) y un testigo absoluto (racimos sin embolsar); registrando la severidad del daño causado. Los resultados mostraron que los frutos provenientes de racimos embolsados presentaron menor severidad que los frutos no embolsados y los tratamientos constituidos por bolsas impregnadas con extracto de ajo presentaron menor incidencia y grado de severidad, mostrando una disminución del daño en un 98%. Concluyendo que el extracto de ajó fue el producto repelente que mejor acción mostro al daño de fruto. Los tratamientos donde se aplicó Albaca, Ají, Salvia y Anamú se pudieron determinar una mayor incidencia y daño de fruto.

Nowadays, whitening of stained teeth has become the most popular topic in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry. Because of the side effects of materials that were used for bleaching, in this study the effects of some plants which were used in Anatolian folk medicine on the treatment of tooth staining were examined. In this study, upper central incisors which were extracted for periodontal reasons were used. The colour values of numbered teeth were obtained and the teeth were immersed into three different essential oils of medicinal plants (Mentha piperita, Ocimum basilicum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis) for different time periods (1 day, 1 week, 1 month). At the end of the immersion periods, colour measurements of all samples were made and the colour changes were analysed. Obtained data were statistically analysed by using ANOVA and Duncan test. As a result of the variance analysis, plant species and the duration of immersion was found to be statistically significant. Within the limits of this study, we can indicate that tested medicinal plants has a whitening effect by resulting significant change in tooth colour.
