This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different drying methods on parameters and qualitative characteristics Dracocephalum kotschyi in a completely randomized design with three replications. Treatments included shade as control, sun drying, cabinet (CD at 50 60°C), refractance window (RWD), infrared (IRD) 200 300 W, combination RWD+ IRD W. According results, IRD, RWD, effecti...

Dracocephlum kotschyi Boiss is a genus in Lamiaceae family and medicinal herb native to Iran. The cell suspension cultures were treated by static magnetic field (SMF) Fe3O4 magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) understand the production yield of secondary metabolites. treatment procedure was done cultivating cells either with 100 ppm MNP, SMFs, or simultaneous exposure both MNP SMFs. SMF at 30 mT unifo...

Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss, a member of Labiatae family, is a native plant to Iran, which has been reported to have immunomodulatory, antihyperlipidemic and antispasmodic activities. The objective of this research was to study the antispasmodic and antidiarrhoeal activities of hydroalcoholic and hexane extracts of D. kotschyi in mice. Furthermore, the antidiarrhoeal and antispasmodic effect o...

Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, can give rise to severe cardiotoxicity by inducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Dracocephalum rupestre Hance, a Chinese traditional herb, has therapeutic potential for cardiovascular diseases. Naringenin-7-O-glucoside is the main active constituent of D. rupestre and there is increasing interest in its therapeutic applications. The aim of this stud...

Since seed reserves can influence seed germination, the quantitative and qualitative differences in seed reserves may relate to the germination characteristics of species. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the correlation between germination and seed reserves, as well as their mobilization during germination of six grassland species (Chloris virgata, Kochia scoparia, Lespedeza hedysaroid...
