The present work reports the in vitro antimicrobial activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Satureja hortensis as well as the content of its essential oil. The chemical composition of hydrodistilled essential oil of Satureja hortensis was analysed by means of GC-MS. Thirty constituents were identified. The main constituents of the oil were thymol (40.54%), γ-terpinene (18.56%), carvacrol (13.98%), and p-cymene (8.97). The essential oil of Satureja hortensis exhibited the activity against 25 bacteria, 8 fungi, and a yeast, C. albicans; exerting the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values (MIC) ranging from 15.62 to 250 µl/ml. Similarly, methanol extract of the plant also showed antimicrobial activity.

Drought stress is one of the growing concerns in agriculture management around the world. Adopting tolerant plants to drought conditions could be an appropriate approach to this problem. Bunium persicum is one of the most important medicinal plants of Iran and Turkey as well as neighbouring countries and has been forced into endangered plant status due to mismanagement of its wild habitats. An experiment was conducted in order to evaluate drought tolerance of Bunium persicum and the effects of drought on its essential oil qualitative properties. Two separate plans based on randomised complete block design were performed with 4 drought levels (irrigation after 60, 90, 120, and 150 mm of evaporation from an evaporation basin) and 3 replications. Drought treatments were applied after the stem elongation and flowering stages. Results indicated that applied drought treatments reduced yield and yield components of plants in both growth stages. Some differences were observed in yield components when plants were exposed to drought stress at different growth stages. The essential oil percentage of Bunium persicum was affected by drought conditions, and it was elevated along with increasing drought levels. Due to reduced seed yield, essential oil yield was significantly decreased. Antioxidative activity assessment of seed extracts revealed that drought had positive effects on antioxidant parameters, including 2′-diphenyl 1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, and Fe-reducing power. Phenol content was also improved through applied drought treatments. In general, these results showed the high tolerance of Bunium persicum to drought and also revealed positive effects of drought on the antioxidative activities of plant seeds.

Satureja khuzistanica is an endemic herb growing wild in Iran with interesting pharmacological and biological properties. Here, as an initial step of the domestication process, the variability of phytochemical and morphological traits among 69 individuals of eight natural populations of the plant was studied. The investigated characteristics were the essential oil content and composition, the rosmarinic acid (RA) content, and the leaf and flower morphologies. The Abdanan and Kaver populations showed the highest oil contents. The characterization by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses of the oils revealed that all 69 sampled individuals had carvacrol as the main component with very high contents (89.59-95.41%). The content of RA of the MeOH extracts of S. khuzistanica showed a high level of variability (coefficient of variation (CV) 50.0%) ranging from 0.59% (w/w) in the Paalam population to 1.81% (w/w) in the Abdanan population. The peduncle length and the leaf surface area (CVs of 47.39 and 47.21%, resp.) were the most variable morphological characteristics among the examined populations. The high level of phytochemical and morphological variability among the studied populations suggests a breeding approach during the domestication, to gain new, promising, and homogenous cultivars, attractive for the industry and agriculture.
