Hydroponic cultivation of sage plants
MODEL RELEASED. Hydroponic sage cultivation. Medical researcher checking the electrical conductivity, temperature and nutrient levels of the water supplies for sage plants being grown hydroponically (in water) in a laboratory. Following a medical trial in 2003, oils from sage leaves are being investigated as a means of slowing the onset of Alzheimers disease. Sage species being investigated include Salvia lavandulaefolia and Salvia officinalis. Part of the research looks at plant nutrient levels to try and increase the yield and quality of the sages essential oils. This research is being carried out at laboratories at the Universities of Newcastle and Northumbria, UK, as part of work by the Medicinal Plant Research Centre

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the hydroponic cultivation of sage plants in a laboratory setting. In the image, a dedicated medical researcher is diligently checking the electrical conductivity, temperature, and nutrient levels of water supplies that nourish these sage plants. The purpose behind this meticulous research stems from a groundbreaking medical trial conducted in 2003, which explored the potential of sage leaf oils in slowing down the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The specific species under investigation are Salvia lavandulaefolia and Salvia officinalis. As part of this comprehensive study, researchers are also focusing on optimizing plant nutrient levels to enhance both yield and quality of essential oils derived from these sages. This vital scientific exploration takes place at esteemed laboratories affiliated with the Universities of Newcastle and Northumbria in the United Kingdom. Led by experts at the Medicinal Plant Research Centre, this project seeks to uncover new possibilities for medicinal applications using natural resources. The young female scientist featured in this image exemplifies dedication and expertise as she measures various parameters critical to successful cultivation. With its implications for memory enhancement and dementia treatment, this research holds immense promise for pharmaceutical advancements. By delving into biochemical processes within these botanical wonders, scientists aim to unlock nature's secrets for therapeutic purposes. This thought-provoking photograph was skillfully captured by Chryssa Dimaki from Science Photo Library—an invaluable visual representation showcasing cutting-edge scientific endeavors without any commercial connotations or affiliations.
