        The lack of water and soil resources and their salinity are important points in the agricultural sector. Investigating the interactions between salinity and irrigation on plant yields is important in order to improve soil management and water use in arid and semi-arid regions. The purpose of this study was to study and evaluate the production functions of Basilicum L. in Mazandaran mass cultivar under simultaneous stress conditions of water and salinity. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted on a hectare research site in the Dushantepheh research center of Tehran. In this study, we used microplate weight-drainage to determine the rate of evaporation-transpiration of basil plant. Factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four irrigation treatments including complete irrigation (FI), irrigation with 40 (DI40%), 60 (DI60%) and 80 (DI80%) water requirements of the plant and three subsoil treatments Irrigation water with a conductivity of 175/1 (S1), 3 (S2) and 5 dS / m (S3) for two consecutive years of 1395 and 1396 was carried out. The results showed that the basal plant yield reduction was 3.1 dS / m for irrigation water salinity and 10% for grazing line slope. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Basil contains high phenolic compounds and its seeds contain mucilages. By investigation the essential oils of this plant, and especially its phenylpropanoid compounds, have been identified as the main medicinal product. Materials and Methods: In this research, basil leaves were dried by three methods: shadow, drying oven method at 40 and 60° C and microwave method at 180 and 360 W. In order to increase the heat transfer in short time some effective factors concerned with the leaves, namely moisture, iron, potassium,vitamin C and polyphenol contents were determined. Results: The first stage of drying rate is constant and controlled by external factors, was seen only in the shadow drying method. In two other methods, this stage has been almost eliminated.  Forced convection heat transfer coefficients is higher than natural convection coefficient. Therefore in the oven drying method, mass transfer rate is higher than the other methods. With increasing microwave power, drying time decreased. The determined amounts of iron, potassium and vitamin C showed that there is a significant difference between different drying methods (P <0.05). The longest drying time was in shadow with1800 minutes and the highest amount of vitamin C, iron and phenolic compounds was in the dried treatment in the shade. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be stated that the drying of the basil leaf using shade drying and microwave drying at 180 W, are desirable because the amount of active ingredients in the plant is considerably retained.

        Introduction: Vegetables are known as a low-energy food source, rich in essentials and beneficial compounds for the body and might be regarded as an excellent nutritional supplement. The aim of this study is to evaluate some of the compounds present in some leafy vegetables under treatment with nano-chelates. Materials and Methods: This research was carried out in a completely randomized design with 7 treatments including two levels of iron, potassium and zinc nano-chelates (3 and 6 mg / l) in triplicate order. After about 4 weeks from sown of seeds, foliar application of iron, potassium and zinc nano-chelates was performed every two days for one week. A blank was carried out along with the experimental work. Characteristics such as total leaf chlorophyll, ascorbic acids, protein, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities, iron, potassium and zinc contents in leaves, were evaluated. Results: The highest total chlorophyll and ascorbic acid contents were determined in the treatment concerned with iron nano-chelate (6 mg /l) in savory and parsley. The highest protein and superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities and iron were obtained in treatment concerned with iron nano-chelate (6 mg /l) in fenugreek and the highest potassium content in treatment concerned with potassium nano-chelate (6 mg /l) was observed in fenugreek and the highest zinc in treatment concerned with zinc nano-chelate (6 mg /l) was determined in basil. There were not significant differences between the treatments at 1% level. Conclusion: All the treatments applied caused improved characteristics as compared to the blank. The best improved characteristics were obtained at the concentration of 6 mg / l of nano iron chelate, nano potassium chelate and zinc chelate. Manuscript profile

        Objectives: Basil (Ocimum basilicum), which has antispasmodic properties, has been introduced in traditional medicine as a suitable medicine for diarrhea and vomiting. The present study was performed to determine the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of basil on colon histology and severity of diarrhea in rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 56 male Wistar 200±5 g rats were randomly divided into seven equal groups. Solvent group (physiological serum), diphenoxylate group (5 mg/kg), and five groups receiving basil hydroalcoholic extract in doses (100, 200, 400, 600, 800 mg/kg). One hour after taking the drugs, castor oil 2 ml per animal was fed by gavage. The animals were then kept in separate cages for 4 hours and the indicators of excretion number, weight loss percentage, fecal water content and inhibition percentage were recorded. Mice were anesthetized with ether one hour after diarrhea studies and the isolated colon tissue was evaluated microscopically. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and then Tukey test. Level P Results: Diphenoxylate gavage and extracts of 200 and 400 mg/kg, could improve diarrhea caused by castor oil. Histological studies showed that although there was no significant difference between the different groups, the amount (800 mg / kg) of the extract could increase the thickness of the colon wall to some extent. Conclusion: The results show that the hydroalcoholic extract of Ocimum basilicum has diphenoxylate-like properties in reducing the osmotic symptoms of diarrhea and the volume of water excreted, and in the short term can have little effect on colon wall thickness.   Manuscript profile

        To evaluation the effect of manure, compost and vormicompost on yield and yield components of basil (Ocimum basilicum), a pot experiment was carried out as completely randomized design with three replications in Zabol, Sistan, in 2013. Bio fertilizer treatments consisted of seven levels: F1= control (no fertilizer), F2= 20% vormicompost, F3= 40% vormicompost, F4= 20% compost, F5= 40% compost, F6= 20% manure and F7= 40% manure. Traits measured were plant high, number of branches, number of seeds per plant, dry weight, essence content and yield. The results showed that the use of bio fertilizer significantly improved the quantity and quality basil characters. Treatments had a significant effect on most of the measured traits and increased all of the traits as compared to thos of control. Thus, with the exceotion of 1000 grain weight, highest amounts were obtained for plant height, number of branches, number of seeds per plant, dry weight, essence content and essence yield by using 40% vormicompost and lowest to those of control treatment. Our results also showed that increasing vermicompost, compost and manure from 20% to 40% increased plant height, number of branches, number of seeds per plant, dry matter and essence percent. Generally, the use of organic fertilizers, as compared with not using them, produced optimum quality and quantity of basil. As a whole, it can be said that using bio fertilizers may help to achieve sustainable agriculture goals. Manuscript profile

        This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different concentrations of ascorbic acid (0, 10 and 20 mM) on growth, fresh and dry weight of basil under different levels of arsenic (0, 40, 80 and 120 mg.kg-1 of soil) in pots. The experiment was factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. It was carried out in greenhouse at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zabol. All growth characteristics, fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots and photosynthetic pigments of plants treated with arsenic decreased. Application of ascorbic acid, especially at concentration of 20 mM, could increase the amount and activity of photosynthetic pigments in basil which resulted, in reducing the negative effects of arsenic and an increase on leaf area, fresh and dry weight of shoot as compared with those of control (non-application of ascorbic acid). Foliar application of ascorbic acid did not have significant effect on plant height, fresh and dry weight of roots and leaves as compared with those of the control. Manuscript profile

        Basil (Ocimum basillicum L.) belonging to the Lamiaceae familyis an important herbal medicinal plant that essential oils from the aerial parts of the plant have been used in food industry as an antibacterial agent and perfumery. This study was conducted in 2014 at the research farm of Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. The treatments were arranged a factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. The experimental treatments were two basil populations including Varam in and Qaen and different amounts of macro and micro-elements in nine levels. The traits in this study included plant height, leaf length, leaf width, dry weight, number of leaves, number of sub branches, Chlorophyll a and b, Carotenoid and essential oil. The results revealed that the majority of these traits affected by experimental treatments.The result of mean comparisons were showed that the highest dry weight (77.66 g/m2) belonged toVaram in population by application of nano- zinc chelate fertilizer at 1.5 kg/h. Based on the results, the highest chlorophyll a (6.5 g/mg FW) was obtained in Qaen population using urea fertilizer at 60kg/ha. The Varam in population with 0.93 percent essential oil had a significant superiority to the Qaen population with an average of 0.77%V/W essential oil. In addition, application of nitrox in fertilizer at 3 kg/ha had the highest amount of essential oil (1. 09%). The Varam in population with 0.93% essential oil was better than Qaen population. Application of nitroxin bio fertilizer at 3 kg/ha also had the highest essential oil (1. 09%). The results of the present study showed that different treatments concentrations had different results on the measurement traits. It seems that application of nano chelate fertilizer and nitroxin bio fertilizer can be effectively used to improve soil, environment and human health and serve as a good substitute of chemical fertilizers.

        Salmonella is one of the important  food borne diseases, worldwide. Egg and meat are among the most important incriminated foods to cause salmonella infection in Iran. This study was designed to investigate possible inhibitory effects of ethanolic extract of basil on Salmonella in mayonnaise sauce. Salmonella is killed with baking food but there is problem with foods like sauce which contain raw egg and is not used any procedure for baking them while producing. The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibility to use ethanol extract of basil to control Salmonella Typhimurium in sauce. In the study, first of all the anti-bacterial property of ethanol extract of basil was tested. So, by appearing result test for final investigation densities of extract was purposed 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75%. Then anti-bacterial property of ethanol extract of basil on growth of salmonella in mayonnaise sauce for a period of 30 days in condition of 25oc and 4oc was investigated.The results of statistical studies showed that the three concentrations studied significantly (p <0.05) compared to the control sample reduced the growth of Salmonella Typhimurium during storage and with increasing the concentration of the extract increased the antibacterial activity of the extract so that the extract Basil with a concentration of 7500 ppm was significantly lower than other treatments in most cases (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation test was performed by 5-point hedonic method and the results of sensory analysis of appearance and color in different treatments were not significantly different from each other. Regarding the flavour, texture and total acceptability of the sauce, the lowest sensory score was related to the treatment with a concentration of 0.75%. Based on the obtained results, the amount of bacteria in both temperatures decreased in all treatments and this decrease was little in the control treatment and its antibacterial activity increased with increasing the concentration of the extract.

        Application of natural preservatives to protect foods from microbial spoilage and to control the occurrence of foodborne pathogens has become an important issue worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) essence of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Rhodotorula rubra. The basil essence was extracted by hydro-distillation using Clevenger apparatus. The components of the essence was analyzed by GC/MS. Afterwards, using micro-dilution method the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) for S. aureus, E. coli and R. rubra was estimated. Based on results, 43 various components were detected in basil essence, namely benzene (20.97%), E-citral (12.845%), Z-citral (6.137%), methyl chavicol (7.68%) and thymol (7.79%). MIC and MBC for was 0.25 mg/ml for E. coli and R. rubra, meanwhile it was estimated at 0.5 mg/ml for S. aureus. Taking into account the various components of basil essence as well as their antimicrobial properties, it was concluded that, with considering the natural properties of each food type, basil essence can be used as a food preservative.a Manuscript profile

        Cheddar cheese is a hard type of cheese. It is coated traditionally by a special wax. Commercial coating materials which are used for coating are non-edible as a result they are undesirable due to environmental pollution and allergies caused in some consumers. Today, biodegradable films are receiving more attention. In this study, the effect of edible coating of basil seed mucilage containing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) in three levels of zero, 0.25 and 0.5% on the quality properties of cheddar cheese was investigated during ripening for 90 days. The results of experiments showed that at the end of ripening, the highest amount of salt and fat and the lowest amount of moisture were related to the sample with mucilage coating containing 0.5% of ZnO-NP. Also, during ripening, in all samples the number of non-starter lactic acid bacteria increased, but the number of starter bacteria increased first and then decreased (p < 0.01). Also, in all treatments, the total number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Pseudomonas, mold and yeast increased significantly during storage, which was the lowest in samples with coating containing ZnO-NP (p < 0.01). In addition, ZnO-NP coatings prevented mold growth on the surface of cheddar cheese samples. According to the results obtained of this study, basil seed mucilage containing 0.5% ZnO-NP can be used as a coating in cheddar cheese without any adverse effect on the flavor of cheese.

        In the present study, the influence of foliar application of salicylic acid and biofertilizers on modulating the effects of drought stress on some morphophysiological characteristics, dry matter yield and essential oil production of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) was investigated using a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design in triplicate within the 2019 in Hurand . Experimental treatments included three levels of drought stress (70, 140 and 210 mm of evaporation from Class A evaporation pan) as the first factor, seed inoculation with bacteria at five levels (no inoculation as control, inoculation with Azotobacter, Pseudomonas, Azospirillum and co-inoculation with Azotobacter, Pseudomonas and Azospirillum) as the second factor and salicylic acid foliar application at four levels (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM) as the third factor. .The results of this study showed that the drought stress had an important role in reducing the basic factors in basil growth. The results showed that with increasing the intensity of drought stress, the proline content increased. So that the highest proline content (1.69 μM/g fresh weight) were obtained from the treatment of 210-mm evaporation. Based on the results obtained in this experiment can be expressed, the use of salicylic acid at a concentration of 1.5 mM and the co-inoculation of bacteria play a role in relieving the negative effects of drought stress and their administration can effectively increase the quantitative and qualitative properties of the basil.

        Seed pre-treatment technique has been introduced as a germination and establishment enhancer under environmental stress. In order to study the effects of priming on germination characteristics growth and some antioxidant enzymes activity of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under drought stress conditions, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replications, at the physiology lab of the Islamic Azad University of Ardebil in 2013 was carried out. Experimental treatments include drought stress at four levels (0, -4, -8 and -12 bar) and three pre-treatments including potassium nitrate with concentrations of 1% and 2%, water as hydro priming and control treatment. The results showed that the effect of drought stress and priming on germination components and antioxidant enzymes was significant. The results showed that drought stress reduced the percentage of germination, pace of germination, rootlet length, seedling length and increased activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase enzymes. The results of the comparison of mean interactions of drought stress and priming showed that the maximum activity of Antioxidant enzymes were obtained by pre-treatment of potassium nitrate with a concentration of 1% in a -12 bar drought level. In general, it can be concluded that basil seed pre-treatment with 1% potassium nitrate improves the basil germination parameters under drought stress conditions and increased the tolerance of basil plant to drought stress by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the germination stage.

        Ocimum basilicum L.from Lamiaceae is used as a herb, spice and fresh vegetable. Since medicinal plants have different reactions to drought stress in the production of effective compounds, Diagnosis of medicinal plants growth under different irrigation conditions and drought stress can be a guide for growing plants in dry and low water conditions. Therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on morphological characteristics and essential oil content, especially linalool, in different stages of plant growth of Basil plant, a completely randomized factorial design was carried out in 3 replications. The experimental treatments included three levels of dryness (no stress, mild stress and severe stress) in potted conditions, in vegetative, pre-flowering, flowering and fruit-growing stages. The results showed that drought stress had a significant effect on evaluated characteristics. So, with decreasing of soil moisture content, plant height, number and leaf area, decreased in all stages of growth and Stem diameter increased at all stages, especially in severe stress and root length, increased during flowering stage. In reproductive stages, drought stress caused a significant reduction in the number of flowers than the control. Extreme stress in flowering and fruiting stages has had decrease in the amount of essential oil production, especially linalool. However, mild stress showed increase in the production of these compounds in both steps. The highest percentage of essential oil was related to mild drought stress at flowering stage and the highest amount of linalool was due to mild drought stress in the fruiting stage.

        Recognition of environmental factors has an important role in the success of medicinal plants cultivation. Growth-promoting bacteria, through their effects on biosynthesis cycles, cause changes in plant products. In ord levels of control (field capacity), 20% FC, 40% FC, 60% FC and 80% FC. Characteristics such as plant height, , number of leaves, leaf area fresh and dry weight of the shoot, as well as essential oil percentage and and analyzed by GC/MS yield were measured. The results showed with increasing the drought stress the growth and yield in basis decreased. But inoculation of plants with PGPR increased the growth under drought stress conditions and improved the plant performance in such conditions. The highest fresh and dry weight of shoot was in inoculated plants and irrigation control (FC) treatment and the least amount of these traits were obtained in non-inoculated plants and 20% FC treatment, these traits were reduced by 50% and 70%, respectively, compared to plants inoculated with bacteria and FC irrigation. Also, the highest percentage of basil essential oil was obtained in bacteria inoculated plants and 40% FC treatment. The highest yield of essential oil was observed in the control treatment and the effect of the bacteria was not observed. The use of growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve the production of medicinal plants in environmental stresses such as drought stress and greatly repair the effects of this stress.

        Basil is a medicinal herb and also a vegetable. Water and soil salinity is one of the major non-living stresses that reduce the growth and productivity of agricultural products all over the world. More than 800 million hectares of land around the world are saline and alkaline. In this experiment, five genotypes of basil (Iranian purple, black, ablaq, green and fiery red) were used as a split plot based on a completely random design with three replications, the main factor of which is salt stress at three levels (normal, medium stress and severe stress). and sub-factor including genotype (5 levels) were studied in pots and under greenhouse conditions in the crop year of 2023 in Kerman University of Advanced Education. The results showed that all the basil cultivars had the ability to withstand the salinity stress of 75 mM sodium chloride (moderate stress) and the values of vegetative and physiological characteristics were slightly reduced compared to the control treatment in such a way that no significant difference was observed in many cases. Application of salinity stress with the intensity of 135 mM sodium chloride (severe stress) caused the vegetative and physiological characteristics of all basil cultivars to decrease significantly and also at this stress level, the fiery basil cultivar was completely destroyed. In general, it can be stated that the basil cultivars used are highly sensitive to the level of more than 75 mM of salinity stress, and under salinity conditions, their vegetative and physiological characteristics are significantly reduced.
