- Rue (Ruta) is a genus
of strongly scented evergreen subshrubs 20-60 cm tall, in the family
Rutaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, Macaronesia and southwest
Asia. Different authors accept between 8-40 species in the genus. The
most well-known species is the Common Rue.The leaves are bipinnate or
tripinnate, with a feathery appearance, and green to strongly glaucous
blue-green in colour. The flowers are yellow, with 4-5 petals, about 1
cm diameter, and borne in cymes. The fruit is a 4-5 lobed capsule,
containing numerous seeds.
- An evergreen shrub
growing to 0.75m. It is hardy to zone 8. It is in leaf all year, in
flower from June to September. The scented flowers are hermaphrodite
(have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. We
rate it 1 out of 5 for usefulness.The plant prefers light (sandy),
medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. The plant prefers acid, neutral
and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland)
or no shade. It requires dry or moist soil.
- Rue is commonly grown
for its aromatic blue-green foliage and small, fringed, yellow blooms .
It is important that plant has ample moisture and well-drained soil the
first year. After that, the plant is fairly drought tolerant. Excellent
for use in rock gardens and borders. Start seeds in flats and then
transplant outside.
- Extraction of alkaloids
from natural products such as Hyoscyamus muticus, Datura stramonium and
Ruta graveolens consists of the use of a sonicated solution containing a
surfactant as extracting agent. The alkaloids are precipitated by Mayer
reagent, dissolved in an alkaline solution, and then extracted with
chloroform.
- Cold Percolation is a
traditional method of extraction used by herbalists throughout the world
and it's very simple. Above a flask or vessel is suspended a cone or
tube. The bottom of the tube has a perforated base which holds ground
herb in place. Solvent is poured into the top of the tube where it soaks
through the herb leaching out the extract and then falling out the
bottom end of the tube into the flask. If desired, the percolation tube
can be wrapped in heating tape to help facilitate the extraction.
- Plant this
strong-smelling repellent in beds, in hedges and along paths. If planted
around the house it helps to repel flies. Prune the plant if it takes up
too much space. Rue can be added to stews. Rue tea is said to be good
for coughs, croup and bronchitis but it should be taken in small
quantities and not repeatedly.
- Medicinally it has been
used in many countries. Some of its other uses include a disinfectant.
As a growing plant or its dried and crushed leaves are used as an insect
repellant. Dried plants are put into linen cupboards to repel moths. The
essential oil obtained from the leaves and shoots is also used for
perfumery and landscaping.
- Ruta graveolens L. is a
flavonoid-containing medicinal plant with various biological properties.
In this study, the effects of R. graveolens extract on aldehyde oxidase,
a molybdenum hydroxylase, are investigated. Aldehyde oxidase was
partially purified from liver homogenates of mature male guinea pigs by
heat treatment and ammonium sulphate precipitation.The total extract was
obtained by macerating the aerial parts of R. graveolens in MeOH 70% and
the effect of this extract on the enzyme activity was assayed using
phenanthridine, vanillin and benzaldehyde as substrates.
