Effect of penconazole (PEN) treatment on drought-stressed Mentha pulegium L. plants was investigated. Six weeks after sowing, seedlings were grown under soil moisture corresponding to 100, 75, 50 and 25 % field capacity (FC) with or without PEN (15 mg l(-1)) for 4 weeks. Results showed that the

The present study evaluated the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of 13 commercial honeys from diverse floral origin, produced in Portugal. The values of electrical conductivity of cardoon and pennyroyal honeys were superior to the maximum limits defined by European

Marginal water, including saline water, has been proposed as an alternative source of irrigation water for partially covering plant water requirements due to scarcity of adequate water supply in hot arid and semi-arid areas, such as those usually found in the Mediterranean basin. In the present

Tannery sludge (TS) is hazardous to environment and its disposal in an ecofriendly manner is a major challenge. An experiment was conducted to investigate the metal absorption properties of Mentha spicata grown under different levels of TS amended soil (soil: sludge in 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and

The present study was investigated to purify and characterize anti-tubercular and anticancer protein from Staphylococcus hominis strain MANF2 under mild stress condition of Mentha piperita L. Initially, the in vitro anti-tubercular activity of strain MANF2 was determined against Mycobacterium

Global warming contributes to higher temperatures and reduces rainfall for most areas worldwide. The concurrent incidence of extreme temperature and water shortage lead to temperature stress damage in plants. Seeking to imitate a more natural field situation and to figure out responses of specific

Menthol mint (Mentha arvensis L.) cultivation is significantly affected by the heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) which also imposes severe health hazards. Two menthol mint cultivars namely Kosi and Kushal were evaluated under Cd stress conditions. Impact of plant growth regulators (PGRs) like

Due to the limitation of suitable water for crop production in the world, recycling water is among the most proper methods enhancing water efficiency and availability. One modern method, which is of economic, health, and environmental significance, and may improve water properties for plant use is
