Abstract

Origanum vulgare L. has been proven to be the strongest herbal antiseptic in the world, native to the Mediterranean region, but is widely naturalized elsewhere in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. This study aimed to estimate the phytotoxic effect of three different concentrations of oregano essential oil (O. vulgare) on three selected plant species namely, wheat, tomato and mint using biotest germination and effects on seedling growth, as well as its toxicological properties using Allium test. Our results revealed that oregano essential oil exhibits allelopathic effect on selected species. All three tested concentrations of oregano essential oil caused a significant inhibition of Allium cepa L. root growth, as well as a reduction in the mitotic index values in A. cepa meristem cells. O. vulgare essential oil demonstrated phytotoxic and antiproliferative effects. Further research is needed to confirm our results.
土一枝精油的化感作用和毒理学作用
Origanum vulgare L.已被证明是世界上最强的草药防腐剂,原产于地中海地区,但在温带北半球的其他地方被广泛归化。本研究采用生物试验法测定了三种不同浓度的牛至精油对小麦、番茄和薄荷三种植物的植物毒性和对幼苗生长的影响,并采用葱试验法测定了牛至精油的毒理学特性。结果表明,牛至精油对特定物种具有化感作用。三种浓度的牛至精油均能显著抑制洋葱根的生长,并降低洋葱分生组织细胞的有丝分裂指数。藿香精油具有植物毒性和抗增殖作用。需要进一步的研究来证实我们的结果。

期刊介绍: Caryologia is devoted to the publication of original papers, and occasionally of reviews, about plant, animal and human karyological, cytological, cytogenetic, embryological and ultrastructural studies. Articles about the structure, the organization and the biological events relating to DNA and chromatin organization in eukaryotic cells are considered. Caryologia has a strong tradition in plant and animal cytosystematics and in cytotoxicology. Bioinformatics articles may be considered, but only if they have an emphasis on the relationship between the nucleus and cytoplasm and/or the structural organization of the eukaryotic cell.
