Medicinal plants as the important source of secondary metabolites widely used for food industry, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care and cleaning industries for its flavouring and fragrance (Gedif and Hahn, 2002; Badal et al., 2011). Lamiaceae family is one of the most important families in medicinal plants, and Mentha piperita L. (common name peppermint) has special significance in this family (Silva, 2002; Mahmoud and Croteau, 2003). This species is natural hybrid between species M. spicata L. (2n=36 or 48) and M. aquatica L. (2n=96) (Gobert et al., 2002). Peppermint as an important medicinal andaromatic plant had the economic importance hence grown in large areas in the world (Herro and Jacob, 2010). Peppermint generally growth in damp, shaded and earth has abundant water (Burbott and Loomis, 1967). Peppermint oil containing a large number of important terpenoids such as menthol, …show more content…
However, the amount of peppermint essential oil and its constituents were impacted by different factors such as water deficit (Khorasaninejad et al., 2011), climate, soil type and geographical area (Yazdani et al., 2002) harvest time and fertility (Niakan et al., 2004; Tabatabaie and Nazari, 2007; Heidari et al., 2008). Having a clear vision about relationships between enzymes transcripts and metabolites produced, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether water stress treatment affects expression of genes of menthofuran biosynthetic pathways and menthol (highlighted in Figure 1), menthofuran content and whether an interaction between peppermint expression of genes of menthofuran biosynthetic pathway and menthol, menthofuran does

I also learned that mental illnesses are not one-spell-cure-all diseases, which is very helpful to know.

It seems that no matter the year, the way people grow and learn never really changes. In the story Marigolds, set during the 1930s, you follow 14-year-old "Lizabeth" as she grows and matures into a young adult. In The Whistle, by Anne Estevis, you follow Chatita as she learns a valuable lesson in owning up to mistakes and resolving issues. In addition, the poems Hanging Fire and Teenagers both give different perspectives to the same issue teenagers face, despite the fact that the authors had experienced their teenage years in the 1940s-1950s. In the story Marigolds by Eugenia Collier, you read a familiar story about a teenaged girl in an unfamiliar setting, an impoverished community during the Great Depression.

Growth and Value Creation at Sunflower Nutraceuticals Sunflower Nutraceuticals (SNC) is a nutraceuticals distributor based in Miami, Florida. Prior to 2012, SNC had flat annual sales growth with total revenues of $10 million and had been experiencing financing issues due to its thin margins and high working capital intensity. Miami Dade Merchant’s Bank (MDM) was SNC’s previous financier, but refused to increase SNC’s line of credit of $3.2 million, which was limiting SNC’s ability to grow because of the working capital constraints.

Introduction Plants are a major necessity in the balance of nature, people’s lives, and our terrain. We may not realize it, but plants are the ultimate source of food for almost 95% of the world population so says the National Group of Food. It’s a fact that over 7,000 species of plants are being consumed today. Plants are one of the reasons that we get clean water; as they help regulate the water cycle.
