The Flora of Iran is very rich due to the diverse climatic and soil conditions in mdifferent ecological regions. Iran has around 10000 species of wild plant of which about 850 are considered being medicinally important. In the present work the phytochemistry of several Iranian medicinal plants and their possible usage will be discussed.

capra aegagrus is one of the most highly-valued animals of iran. this species is also consideredas one of the main food sources for the acinonyx jubatus venaticus, which are critically endangered.seasonalhabitat use of wild goat was studied from january 2011 to september 2012 in dareh anjir wildlife refuge,yazd, iran. we developed maximum entropy models in three seasons.this study aims to deter...

the use of more competitive species and cultivars in small grain cereal production may help to develop production systems that require less herbicide. this study was designed to identify root and shoot characteristics of cereal seedlings that would allow distinguishing the more competitive (mc) cultivars from the less competitive (lc) ones. two growth cabinet trials were conducted using four cr...

wild plant germplasm possesses useful adaptive strategies. wild plant species, for example, are resistant to biotic and abiotic stress and can be used for reforestation, agriculture, and horticulture. we surveyed the potential of wild pear to resist flooding. we looked at survival, growth, biomass, and several physiological variables. the rootstocks of wild pear are candidates for planting in o...

introduction: increasing costs of herbicide inputs in intensive crop production systems and the incidence of herbicide resistance in weeds have renewed interest in exploiting crop competitiveness to reduced herbicide use. two factors contribute to crop competitiveness against weeds: ability to withstand competition (awc), or the ability to maintain high yields in the presence of weeds, and weed...

the populations of wild carp (cyprinus carpio carpio), as a commercially valuable species in the southeast iranian waters of the caspian sea, have been severely declined during last three decades, but there is no comprehensive research available on the biology of this species in this area. the age, growth and reproductive aspects of samples collected during 2009-2010 fishing season were measure...

Data are missing on the diversity of Plasmodium spp. infecting apes that live in their natural habitat, with limited possibility of human-mosquito-ape exchange. We surveyed Plasmodium spp. diversity in wild chimpanzees living in an undisturbed tropical rainforest habitat and found 5 species: P. malariae, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. reichenowi, and P. gaboni.
