The genus Thymus L. belongs to the Lamiaceae family, consist of about 215 species of herbaceous perennials and small shrubs in the world. They originated from Mediterranean region. This genus is presented in Iranian flora by 14 species, including: T. daenensis, T. carmanicus, T. fallax, T. persicus, T. trautvetteri, T. migricus, T. kotschyanus, T. pubesens, T. nummularius, T. trans...

Jasmonic acid (JA) is one of the most signaling phytohormones which play an essential role in plant development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. It plays a key regulatory role in root elongation, pollen production, germination, fruit ripening, plant senescence [1]. Additionally, it activates plant defenses against pests, pathogens and abiotic stress. Jasmonic acid and its derivative...

To investigate the effects of irrigation intervals and humic acid application on some phophysiological and biochemical of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), the experimental in the form of factorial in the design complete randomized block in four replications at Miandoab University Research Field in 2019. Experimental treatments were at four levels of irrigation intervals (once every three days, once eve...

Background & Aim: Drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. In this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. Experimental: This study was done in an experimental greenhouse, I.A.U., Shahrekord Branch, Iran at 201...

colorado potato beetle, leptinotarsa decemlineata (say), is one of the most important pests of potato in iran and worlds. for controlling this pest chemical pesticides have used more that have happened pollution of environment and resistance varieties. in this way, using plant materials is one of promising method for controlling this pest. in this study, essential oils of six plant species incl...

Colonisation of plant roots by selected beneficial Trichoderma fungi or Pseudomonas bacteria can result in the activation of a systemic defence response that is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. In Arabidopsis thaliana, induced systemic resistance (ISR) triggered by the rhizobacterial strain Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS417r is regulated by a jasmonic acid- and ethylene-dependent d...

Salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and methyl jasmonate are important phytohormones and defensive signaling compounds, so it is of great importance to determine their levels rapidly and accurately. The study uses Ulmus pumila leaves infected by Tetraneura akinire Sasaki at different stages as materials; after extraction with 80% methanol and ethyl acetate and purification with pr...
