Chemical composition, genetic diversity, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of camphor-basil (Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke)

This study investigates the variations in the chemical, genetic, and biological activity (antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant) profiles of thirteen populations of Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke (OK1-OK13) from India. Correlations between chemical composition and the biological activities of O. kilimandscharicum were assessed. The essential oils (EOs) of different populations, extracted by hydrodistillation process were characterised by...
