Abstract:In this study, the essential oil of Acmella ciliata, characterized by the presence of significant amounts of spilanthol, α-phellandrene epoxide, and carvotanacetone, was assessed for its influence on the growth of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi, with the focus primarily on root hair density and primary root length. Following its extraction through microwave-assisted hydrodistillation, the oil was stored at 4°C in amber vials, distinguishable by its unique yellowish-reddish hue, with a refractive index of 1.3478 … Show more
