Biological Forum – An International Journal 7(2): 36-42(2015) ISSN No. (Print): 0975-1130 ISSN No. (Online): 2249-3239 The Response of Dragon head (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) plant to Sowing Date and Planting Density Vahid Abdossi, Hossein Mohammadi, Seyyed Hossein Hashemian Ahmadi* and Amin Hadipanah Department of Horticultural, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IRAN (Corresponding author: Seyyed Hossein Hashemian Ahmadi) (Received 12 May, 2015, Accepted 15 June, 2015) (Published by Research Trend, Website: www.researchtrend.net) ABSTRACT: Dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) is an annual, herbaceous plant belongs the family Lamiaceae. In order to study the effects of sowing date and density on essential oil content and some morphological characteristics of dragonhead, a field experiment was conducted in Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources university by using of split-plot design in the base of randomized complete blocks with three replications in 2011. Which has been in three sowing dates (12 of June, 5 of July and 17 of July) as main factors and three planting density levels (30 × 10, 30 × 20 and 30 × 30cm). The results of the analysis of variance indicated that sowing date had significant effect on plant height, oil percentage and oil yield but planting density had significant effect only on the fresh herbage and dry herbage. Results of mean comparisons revealed that the highest fresh herbage weight (7374.7 kg) and the highest oil yield (1.197 kg) were obtained at the second sowing date (July 5). The highest dry herbage weight (2007 kg) was obtained at the third sowing date (July 17) and the highest oil content (0.065 %) was obtained at the first sowing date (June 12).

Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales.

U.S. FishU.S. & FishWildlife & Wildlife Service Service Correll’s False Dragonhead Arlington, Texas Ecological Services Field Office Correll’s False Dragonhead Physostegia correllii Description Correll’s false dragonhead (Physostegia correllii) is a rare, flowering plant native to Texas and Louisiana, characterized by purple- pink flowers and dark green leaves. It belongs to the mint family and is found in forested and herbaceous wetland habitats. There are 12 false dragonhead species, also called obedient plants (genus Physostegia), that are native to North America. The common name, “false dragonhead”, Correll’s false dragonhead Photos: Jason Singhurst, TPWD comes from its resemblance to dragonhead plants (Dracocephalum has been observed frequently in distichum) and green ash (Fraxinus spp.), which includes 70 species Travis County and along Lady Bird pennsylvanica). identified by their colorful “heads of Lake in Texas. dragons” shaped flowers.

Nepeta Cataria – Medicinal Plant of Interest in Phytotherapy and Beekeeping
Hop and Medicinal Plants, Year XXII, No. 1-2, 2014 ISSN 2360 – 0179 print, ISSN 2360 – 0187 electronic NEPETA CATARIA – MEDICINAL PLANT OF INTEREST IN PHYTOTHERAPY AND BEEKEEPING DUDA Simona C., Liviu Al. MĂRGHITAŞ, Dan S. DEZMIREAN, Otilia BOBIŞ, Marcel M. DUDA University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca [email protected] Abstract: Catnip is a traditional remedy for cold and flu, including for children. The fresh herb and the inflorescences contain: iridoids, tannins and etheric oils (0,3-1%). Catnip leafs are used fresh or dried, and as a flavoring in food, salads, soups or cooked meals. Some of the Nepeta species is used by bees as a source for pollen and nectar. Key words: Nepeta cataria L. (Catnip), source for pollen, traditional remedies, essential oil. Catnip (catnep, catswort, catmint) is known for its quality to attract cats (and even some larger felines, for example tigers) and to make them euphoric (“Cat craziness”). The name of the plant comes from the attraction it generates on cats who love to eat it and it stimulates them to play. The plant has a similar but smaller effect on small chicks, rodents and even humans. Due to this it has even an aphrodisiac effect (Bernardi et al. 2011). The fresh herb and the inflorescences contain: iridoids, tannins and etheric oils (0,3-1%) (alfa and beta nepetaloctone (monoterpenoids), over 70%, citronelol, geraniol, epinepetalactone and cariofilene), that can be extracted through hydro-distillation. Nepetaloctones repel flies and mosquitoes (D. Kingsley, 2009; Birkett et al., 2011). They are also used to make insect attractants (pheromone traps).

Dragonhead Mint (Dracocephalum Parviflorum Nutt.) As a Potential Agronomic Crop for Alaska
Dragonhead mint (Dracocephalum parviflorum Nutt.) as a potential agronomic crop for Alaska Item Type Report Authors Van Veldhuizen, Bob; Knight, Charlie Publisher Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management, University of Alaska Fairbanks Download date 27/09/2021 04:33:36 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/2728 AFES Miscellaneous Publication 2006-01 Dragonhead mint (Dracocephalum parviflorumNutt.) as a potential agronomic crop for Alaska Bob Van Veldhuizen and Charlie Knight Introduction This study investigates dragonhead mint (Dracocephalum parviflorum Nutt.) for its potential as an ingre- dient in commercially sold food for wild birds. In the Delta Junction area, we have observed wild birds feeding in farm fields and other sites where the native vegetation has been disturbed. A number of different plant species could be used as bird food in interior Alaska, where in 1992, 30 tons of wild bird seed was sold in the Fairbanks area alone. Past experience in feeding wild birds in interior Alaska with commercial birdseed mixes has shown that they pick out seeds high in oil content, such as sun- flower (preferred by chickadees and pine grosbeaks) and canola or rapeseed (preferred by redpolls), and leave the rest (Quinlan 982, Knight 992). Both of these oil- seeds contain high levels of oil by weight, 5% and 4% respectively (Table ). This oil is easy for the birds to metabolize and thus is an important source of energy during cold weather (Harrold and Nalewja 977). Since the birds appear to be selective in picking out from feeders only the seeds that will supply them Dragonhead mint as a potentialDragonhead agronomic mint crop in bloom.

Pollen morphology and ultrastructure were investigated with light, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy. Nepetinae pollen is small to large (P=16–65 µm, E=17–53 µm), oblate to prolate (P/E=0.7–1.6) in shape and mostly hexacolpate (sometimes octocolpate). The exine stratification in all taxa studied is similar and characterized by unbranched columellae and a continuous, granular endexine. Sexine ornamentation in the Nepetinae is bireticulate, microreticulate or perforate. In perforate and microreticulate pattern a tendency towards a bireticulum could be recognized due to trace of secondary tectal connections.

This plant with its citrus like flavor is extensively used as a spice and for composition of teas, because of neral and geranial as major constituents of essential oil. D. moldavica is used in food aromatization, perfumery, alcoholic drinks industry, soaps and detergents. Apart from being used as medicinal and spice plant, it is grown as a honey-bearing plant and cultivated in gardens and parks as an ornamental plant. Seed is a good source of fatty oil with spicy taste and aromatic odor, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, principally the linolenic and linoleic acids. This categorizes D. moldavica seed into the group of raw materials suitable for nutraceuticals, food supplements, and functional food applications. Furthermore, numerous investigations show that this plant possesses good antioxidative, antimicrobial and insecticidal activity.
