چکیده

wormwood sagebrush (artemisia sieberi besser) is one of the most widely distributed shrub species in iran and turkistan steppes, its establishment on dry lands has generally been proven difficult because of low seedling vigor, inability to compete with herbaceous species, poor seed quality, and altered edaphic conditions. in order to evaluation of planting methods and seedling establishment, seed of a. sieberi was collected at isfahan kolah ghazi national park situated at 51°45' eas longitude and 35°15' nort latitude. to overcome dormancy effects, seeds were pre-chilled for 9 days at 0 to 5°c. to determine the establishment of the seedlings, the seeds were sown in petri dishes. the germination percentage was recorded after three weeks. after 5 months, 40 seedlings were transferred into plastic pots. two months later, 16 seedlings were transferred to the field. the result of plate experiment showed that the percentage of germination was 63%, survival of the sprouted seedlings was 23%, the percentage of the establishment of the seedlings in plastic pots was 70%, and the percentage of the establishment of the seedlings in the field was 75%. on the whole, 7.61% of the cultivated seeds produced seedlings that were successfully established in the field (0.63 ´ 0.23´0.70 ´ 0.75´100 =7.61).

Tissue culture and regeneration of an antimalarial plant, Artemisia sieberi Besser

WHO recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as the most effective choice to treat malaria. For developing transgenic plants with high accumulation of artemisinin (by introducing genes encoding enzymes which regulate the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin), an efficient protocol for tissue culture and plant regeneration is necessary. In the present study, leaf explants of Arte...

Fumigant Toxicity and Sublethal Effects of Artemisia khorassanica and Artemisia sieberi on Sitotroga cerealella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Fumigant toxicity and sublethal effects of essential oils from Artemisia khorassanica Podl. and Artemisia sieberi Bess were investigated against adults of Sitotroga cerealella Olivier. To assess the sublethal effects, adult moths were exposed to the LC30 of each essential oil, and life table parameters of the surviving S. cerealella were studied. Higher fumigant toxicity of A. khorassanica (LC5...
