Allelopathic Effect of Sage and Turkish Oregano Volatile Oils onIn Vitroin Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)

Abstract

Sainfoin has little atention for plant tissue culture studies. However, genetic engineering applications of gene transfer can be done today. Therefore, first different methods are used in tissue culture (For example, using of different hormones for plant growing) and be given importance. In this study, the effect of different concentration (0-5-10-20-30 ppm) sage (Salvia officinalis L.) and Turkish oregano (Origanum onites L.) have profound effects on morphology of the tissues that grow from the initial sainfoin explant. The study was arranged in factorials with 6 replications and of variance was done using statistical analysis system (SAS) software. The data collected included the rate of seed germination, plant length, root number and root length. The highest seed germination, plant length and root length was obtained on sage volatile oil. Used both volatile oil reduced the germination ratio. Sage increased the plant and root length. Even so, Turkish orego significantly reduced plant length and is root number increased.

Origanum onites L. uçucu yağının kimyasal bileşenleri ve allelopatik etkisi

“…Origanum species have a rich biological activity such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiviral and antiparasitic activities (García-Beltrán and Esteban 2015). Also, it has been reported that Origanum onites essential oil has allelopathic activity on the seed germination, plant height, root length and root number of Onobrychis viciifolia under in vitro conditions (Altindal and Altindal 2013). O. onites essential oil has had a high inhibiting effect on the seed germinations of A. retroflexus, Centaurea solstitialis, Sinapis arvensis, Sonchus oleraceus, Raphanus raphanistrum and Rumex nepalensis (Azirak and Karaman 2008).…”

Allelopathic Properties of Lamiaceae Species: Prospects and Challenges to Use in Agriculture

“…vulgare L., O. vulgare ssp. hirtum, O. acutidens , O. onites , O. compactum Benth., and O. majorana L. are the dominant species of Origanum that showed allelopathic properties [ 3 , 37 , 174 , 175 , 176 , 177 , 178 , 179 ].…”
