background: thymus daenensis is on e of the endemic aromatic species in iran that its essential oil is used in food and pharmaceutical industries. objective: in this study, the effects of plant growth stages and distillation methods on essential oil content and thymol percentage of this species were evaluated. methods: the aerial parts of th. daenensis were collected in three stages of plant gr...

background: medicinal plants use is growing in iran and controlling their quality in terms of contamination with toxic metals is critical. city of arak, due to its large industrial plants, is one of the most polluted cities of iran these pollutants can be transferred to the farms. methods: in this study, concentrations of metals such as aluminum, arsenic, lead and cadmium are measured by atomic...

the iranian thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis is rich in monoterpene phenols (especially thymol and carvacrol). this research was conducted to isolate and characterize the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgprs) from rhizosphere of t. daenensis. pgprs were screened based on some physiological traits including iaa production, phosphate solubilization, and siderophore compounds production ab...

In the present study the amount of three important flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin) and five phenolic acids (gallic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, vanillic acid and caffeic acid) were determined from four medicinally important indigenous plants like Euphorbia tirucalli, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Cyperus rotundus and Rheum emodi. Methanolic extracts of native parts and gemmo-mod...

The essential oils of three wild-growing Thymus species, collected from west of Iran during the flowering stage, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Under the optimum extraction and analysis conditions, 44, 38, and 38 constituents (mainly monoterpenes compounds) were identified in T. kotschyanus Boiss. and ...
