TL;DR: The most used parts of the plants were the leaf (64%), the whole plant (13%), the fruit (8%), the bark (7%), and other parts (8%) such as latex as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the drying and fragmentation conditions of lemongrass leaves were determined, to increase the essential oil yield, and four replications of six treatments were studied with two drying methodologies (oven-drying at 40oC and room temperature using moisture dryer) and 3 fragmentation sizes (powder obtained in mill, 1 cm and 20 cm fragments).

TL;DR: The essential oil yield per plant increased linearly with light intensity as a direct effect of increased leaf biomass under similar conditions, and regardless of the light level, the major component of the essential oil was eugenol.

TL;DR: Ocimum selloi essential oil reduced, in a dose-dependent way, the abdominal contraction induced by acetic acid and the diarrhea episodes induced by castor oil in mice, supporting the use of O. selloi against diarrhea, intestinal spasm and visceral pain.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the vegetative propagation of Ocimum selloi by cuttings is viable, once its mean rooting was over 70%.
