“…is reported to lower the blood cholesterol (Said 1969). Many species have been investigated for their essential oils and medicinally important compounds (Bottini et al 1992, Kishore and Dwivedi 1992, Baser et al 2000, Sonboli et al 2005. Despite this, information on chromosome numbers in Indian species of Nepeta is incomplete.…”

Summary Chromosome numbers, meiotic course and pollen viability were given for 14 species of genus Nepeta L. collected from different localities in Lahaul-Spiti, Kulu, Chamba, Kinnour and Sirmour districts of Himachal Pradesh, India. Except for N. leucophylla (2n=4x=36, tetraploid), all the other 13 species (N. campestris, N. connata, N. discolor, N. eriostachya, N. elliptica, N. govaniana, N. graciliflora, N. leucolaena, N. linearis, N. longibracteata, N. podostachys, N. spicata and N. supina) were diploid (2n=2x=18). Analysis of result shows that the majority of Indian Nepeta species are present with x=9.

“…Diverse biological activities of Nepeta oil such as feline attractant, canine attractant, insect repellant, arthropod defense (Tucker andTucker, 1988, Wagner andwolf, 1977), antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities (Tucker and Tucker, 1988) have been reported previously. There are several reports on the chemical composition of the essential oils of the genus Nepeta found in Iran (Sefidkon, 2004(Sefidkon, , 2005Sajjadi, 2005;Sonboli et al, 2005;Jamzad, 2012). Allelopathic potential of this genus was revealed.…”

In the present study the bioherbicidal activity of essential oils hydrodistilled from Nepeta glocephalata Rech.f and N. ispahanica Boiss were investigated on four weed species (barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) and canary grass (Phalaris canariensis L.)). A total of 37 components were identified from the essential oils of N. glocephalata and N. ispahanica constituting approximately 98.61 % and 96.1 % of the oils, respectively. In laboratory bioassay different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 μl ml-1) of two Nepeta essential oils on germination, root and shoot length were studied. Results showed by increasing the concentration of oils, all studied traits of the weeds were decreased compared with control. In a glass house bioassay post-emergence application of Nepeta essential oils (1.25 %, 2.5 %, 5 % and 10 %, v/v) on 3-week-old weed plants caused visible injury (7-days after spray) ranging from chlorosis to necrosis of plant weeds. In foliar application under glasshouse conditions, both Nepeta essential oils reduced the seedling dry mass and concentrations of chlorophyll a chlorophyll b. The study concludes that Nepeta essential oils have phytotoxic effects and could be used as bioherbicides but the selectivity of these compounds should be considered also.

UDC 547.913The essential oil of Nepeta satureioides Boiss. from Iran was isolated by hydrodistillation in yield of 0.06% (w/w). The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Forty-five compounds accounting for 97.4% of the total oil were identified. The major components were linalool (23.8%), (Z,E)-farnesol (14.7%), linalyl acetate (11.1%), β-caryophyllene (6.6%), lavandulol acetate (6.6%), caryophyllene oxide (6.4%), and (Z)-β-farnesene (3.4%). Oxygenated terpenoids were the main group of compounds.
