In the present investigation antimicrobial activity of six different plant essential oils i.e., citrus (Citrus lemon), olive (Olea europaea), ajwain (Trachiyspirum ammi), almond (Amygdalus communis), Bavchi (Psoralea corylifolia) and neem (Azadirachta indica) oils have been evaluated. After bioassays, most of the essential oils were found susceptible to both Gram-positive bacteria such as Lacto...

In this study, a quantitative method for the content determination of rutin, 5-O-coumaroylquinic acid methyl ester, chlorogenic butyl and kaempferol in Amygdalus persica L. flowers during different harvest periods was established to investigate its various rules determine optimal harvesting period. The performed on XTERRA MS C18 column with mobile phase consisting 0.1% formic aqueous solution a...

Wild almond (Amygdalus scoparia) is one of the most important species that provides a variety of ecological functions in the Zagros forest ecosystem. In this study, we investigated the effects of some seed treatments on the survival and growth of Amygdalus scoparia after seed planting at different aspects and elevations under natural conditions. The seed pretreatments consisted in soaking them ...

The ethyl acetate extract of Amygdalus persica L. flowers (family Rosaceae) was fractionated by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and, after recrystallization, oleanolic acid (1), ursolic (2), quercetin (3), kaempferol (4), hesperetin (5), naringenin (6), kaempferol-3- O-glucoside (7) were isolated. Their identities elucidated spectral techniques from their physicochemical pr...

Survival and growth of woody species in the Mediterranean are mainly restricted by water availability. We tested hypothesis that acclimate their xylem vulnerability osmotic potential along a precipitation gradient. studied five predominant co-occurring species; Quercus calliprinos, Pistacia palaestina, lentiscus, Rhamnus lycioides Phillyrea latifolia, over two summers at three sites. The driest...
