Abstract:

Background & Aim: Osmotic stress in plants lead to increase free radicals and plants use different mechanisms to scavenge these radicals. So, researchers apply stresses especially drought stress to increase secondary metabolites such as phenolics, and antioxidants. One of the valuable medicinal plants is yarrow (Achillea tenuifolia) which is a perennial plant with different medicinal applications. Experimental: In order to assess the effect of drought stress, four different treatments (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of Field Capacity) with four replicates was done in plastic pots at greenhouse. After 30 days, leaves of samples were used to evaluate total phenolics, antioxidant activity using three model systems including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazy (DPPH), ferric thiocyanate (FTC), and β-carotene-linoleic acid assay. In addition, malone dialdehyde (MDA), and proline content were evaluated. Results & Discussion:  Drought stress in A.tenuifolia significantly increased total phenoloics, and antioxidant activity (in DPPH and β-carotene-linoleic acid assay).  In addition, proline and malone dialdehyde were elevated by stress, while according to FTC model, there was no significant differences between 25% and 50% FC treatments. Industrial and practical recommendations: According to the results of present study, the 50% FC treatment can be introduced as acceptable drought level to produce sufficient phenolics and acceptable plant yield. Finally, more studies suggested for assessing the effect of drought stress on amount of other compounds in this medicinal plant.

Phytochemical Analysis and Metal-chelation Activity of Achillea tenuifolia Lam.

Achillea tenuifolia Lam. (Asteraceae) afforded a dichloromethane fraction from which three known compounds β-sitosterol (compound1), 5-hydroxy, 4',6,7- trimethoxy flavone (salvigenin compound 2), and methyl-gallate (compound 3) were isolated for the first time. The structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by different spectroscopic methods. Applying the molar-ratio method, the complexatio...

some properties of fuzzy hilbert spaces and norm of operators

in this thesis, at first we investigate the bounded inverse theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces and study the set of all compact operators on these spaces. then we introduce the notions of fuzzy boundedness and investigate a new norm operators and the relationship between continuity and boundedness. and, we show that the space of all fuzzy bounded operators is complete. finally, we define...
