The essential oil of this plant contains variety of components with different antimicrobial effects. The purpose of this study was to examine of the antimicrobial effects of essential oils of aerial parts of T.vulgris by heterotrophic plate counts (HPC) method. The plant of this research collected of Kahnooj in Iran. Chemical composition of the essential oils of aerial parts of T.vulgris was analyzed by GC-MS. The effectiveness of this essential oil in different dilution was estimated in HPC method with 0.02-0.2 ml on microorganism in water. The GC-MS analysis of the essential oils has been led to the identification and quantification of 37 components, the most abundant of them were Thymol (53.8%). This compounds present have been reported to have antimicrobial effects on micro-organisms. This essential oil in 0.08 ml concentration could eliminate microorganisms in water.

Essential oil with an efficiency of 1/1 percent (g/g) was obtained and by GC-MS to determine the composition of the essential oils was analyzed and indicates 21 compounds. Key combinations were as: pulegone (82.6 %) and limonene (6.8%) which was extracted. the studied essential oil would exhibit good antimicrobial properties, but this was not evaluated and further investigation should be carried out for use of this essential oil in various industries.

The aerial parts of A. santolina Schrenk and A. sieberi Boiss were collected during the flowering stage. Methods: The essential oils were isolated by the hydro distillation method. The (w/w) oils yield were 0.84 % and 1.29 % for A. santolina Schrenk and A. sieberi respectively. The oils constituents were analyzed by the GC-MS technique. Results: In the oil of A. santolina, 67 constituents embracing 95.16 % of total essential oil were recognized. The main constituents were 1, 8-cineole (21.07 %), camphor (13.13 %) and unknown constituents (4.84 %). In the oil of A. sieberi 72 constituents were recognized consisting of 96.49 % of its total essential oil. The main constituents

Methods: The oil was extracted by hydro distillation method with efficiency 1.82 % (W/W) and was analyzed by GC-MS technique. Antimicrobial effects of this essential oil were carried out by Agar dilution method on Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger microorganism. Results: The main constituents of this oil were follows: 1, 8- Cineole (26.93%), Camphor (16.97%), alphaThujone (7.52%), Borneol (7.47%) and alpha-Terpineol (5.77%). The presented results of Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC), in the following: Staphylococcus aureus (4µg/ml), Salmonella typhi (32µg/ml), scherichia coli (32µg/ml), Candida albicans (8 µg/ml), Aspergillus niger (4 µg/ml). Microorganisms of Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli in the highest dilution and microorganisms of Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger in the least dilution were bound by essential oil.

An experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol NaCl was applied in irrigation plantings in a greenhouse. The results showed that salinity stress significantly affected Stem length, root length, shoot wet weight, root wet weight and shoot dry weight, root dry weight, Internodes length, biomass and Essential oil percent in P < 0.05. An increase in the salinity lead to reduce in length of stem and root, fresh weight of stem and root, dry weight of stem and root, internodes length, total biomass and essential oil percent. It is necessary to mention that peppermint did not tolerate 200 mmol NaCl and died under this condition. The highest values of growth parameters and essential 1 oi...

The essential oil of aerial parts of this plant contains variety of components with different antimicrobial effects. The purpose of this study was to examine of the antimicrobial effects of essential oils of aerial parts of A.kermanensis (which is endemic to earth of Iran) by HPC method. Methods: The plant of this research collected of Faryab Mountains in Kahnooj. Chemical composition of the essential oils of aerial parts of A.kermanensis was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The effectiveness of this essential oil in different dilution was estimated in HPC method with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0 & 1.5 ml on microorganism in water. Results: The GC-MS analysis of the essential oils has been led to the identification and quantification of 41 components, the most abundant of them were 1, 8-Cineole (26.93%). Other compounds present (Camphor, alpha-Thujone, Borneol and alpha-Terpineol) have been reported to have antimicrobial effects on bacteria and fungi.

Among those, the factors of soil; especially the roles of fertilizer nutrients (nitrogen, phosphate and potash) possess a remarkable importance. In the present research, we utilized SAPROPEL packed by a Russian Firm and humic acid, extracted from the soil of the north-Iranian forest, on Artemisia herba-alba and Semenovia suffruticosa plants which had been collected from the heights of Taftan Mountain. Addition of extracted humic acid and SAPROPEL to the roots of plants in early growing stage resulted in increasing the percentage of their composition. About the plant A. herba-alba as its root was exposed to humic acid, the percentage of oxygenated Terpeniod from the whole essential oil became 81.39% that in comparison with blank sample, an increase of 24.29% was observed. When the root got SAPROPEL rather than humic acid, we observed only 21.99% increase in the percentage of composition. As the root of plant S. suffruticosa received extracted humic acid, the percentage of oxygenated Terpeniod increased to 5.98%. While by adding the SAPROPEL, the increase was only 0.48%. Comparison of the percentage of essential oil composition, after addition of humic substances to their roots, in primary stage of growth depends on factors such as physiological structure, the kind of the growing place soil, climate and the amount of sunshine .
