Ocimum basilicum var. minimum
Ocimum basilicum var. minimum
Ocimum basilicum var. minimum, also known as microbasil or miniature basil, is a traditional culinary herb with origins in the Mediterranean and Asia. While it has been used for cooking, no specific traditional medicinal uses have been recorded. Scientific studies on Ocimum basilicum var. minimum suggest that its leaves exhibit varying wound responses depending on the plant's developmental stage, with more pronounced effects observed in budding and flowering plants compared to vegetative ones. Additionally, companion planting of basil can enhance the wound response in tomatoes through increased jasmonic acid, MAPK, and ROS signaling pathways. The essential oil from this variety has shown larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti mosquitoes with dose-dependent relationships for LC50 and LC90 values. There are no major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions associated with Ocimum basilicum var. minimum.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Die physiologischen Reaktionen der Blätter von Ocimum basilicum var. minimum auf Verletzungen variierten je nach Entwicklungsstadium, mit auffälligeren Effekten bei blüten- und jähzornenden Pflanzen im Vergleich zu vegetativen.
- Basilikum-Partnerpflanzen können die Wundreaktion bei Tomaten durch das Verstärken der Jasmonats-, MAPK- und ROS-Signalwege vorbereiten.
- Das Essigöl von Ocimum basilicum var. minimum zeigte Larvicidität gegenüber Ae. aegypti mit Werten für LC50 und LC90 in einer dosisabhängigen Beziehung.
- Die Ersetzung von Torf durch Bio-Kohle oder Kompost, auch teilweise, beeinflusste den Basilikum-Wachstum in Abhängigkeit von den Versuchsbedingungen anders.
