findings of the chemical study of essential oil of L. camara leaves revealed the presence of a high amount of sesquiterpenes and this oil remarkably inhibited the growth of most tested bacteria and fungi; Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Aspergillus niger‚ Fusarium solani and Candida albicans appearing as the most sensitive (Sousa et al.‚ 2012). Considerable research‚ such as this one‚ has focused primarily on the antibacterial properties the essential oil of the Lantana camara has. This research being done

Temperature Effects on Radish (Raphanus sativus) Root Development Abstract Several studies have been conducted to establish how temperature‚ seed germination‚ and root growth are related. Because temperature plays a main role in many growth processes‚ we decided to focus on how it affected root growth. Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds were chosen due to their ability to produce a distinct bulbous tuber‚ and their relatively short growing time. Three test groups were placed under different temperature

melon (Cucumis melo) seed oil (Ahamed et al.‚ 2014). The antimicrobial activity was studied on four bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Salmonella typhi and Bacillus cereus) and four fungal species (Aspergillus funiculosus‚ Fusarium equiseti‚ Curvularia lunata and Alternaria alternate). Oil samples of 1% and 10% showed activity against all test microbes except for Curvularia lunata. From bacterial species‚ highest inhibition zone (19 mm) was observed
