Neuroprotective effect of the extract from aerial parts of Scrophularia striata Boiss(Scrophulariaceae) was investigated against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity on cultured rat pupsCerebellar Granule Neurons (CGNs). CGNs from 8 days old Sprague-Dawley rat were preparedand cultured. The experiments were performed after 8 days in culture. The plant was collected fromthe northeastern part (Ruin re...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites produced mainly in almost all terrestrial plants and fruits,where they provide UV protection and color. They have a fused ring system consisting of an aromaticring and a benzopyran ring with a phenyl substituent. Their biological activities have an impact onhuman health so that they serve as target molecules to develop new drugs. From methanolic extractof ae...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Low-elevation surveys with small aerial drones (micro-unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs]) may be used for a wide variety of applications in plant ecology, including mapping vegetation over small- to medium-sized regions. We provide an overview of methods and procedures for conducting surveys and illustrate some of these applications. METHODS Aerial images were obtained by fl...

Background: Despite the discovery of numerous antibiotics, drug resistance still remains as a major problem. Therefore, it is important to introduce and replace new sources of drug such as medicinal plants with antimicrobial properties. Objective: The genus Clematis (Ranunculaceae family) has six species in Iran. Aerial parts of Clematis have been used to cure fever and chronic diseases such a...

Flavonoid composition during the ontogenetic cycle was examined in Pyracantha coccinea. The flavonoid profiles of plants at different ages showed marked differences in aerial and hypogeal parts. In the vegetative phase there are flavonoids (flavanones, flavones, and flavonols) only in the aerial parts and they appear gradually during the plant life. These secondary metabolites are detectable in...

BACKGROUND Traditionally, the essential oil of aromatic herbs is obtained using hydrodistillation (HD). Because the emitted volatile fraction plays a fundamental role in a plant's life, various novel techniques have been developed for its extraction from plants. Among these, headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) can be used to obtain a rapid fingerprint of a plant's headspace. Daucus ...
