A research project dealing with the phytoremediation of a soil polluted by some heavy metals is currently running. The case study is represented by a mining area in Hamedan province in the central west part of Iran. The potential of phytoextraction and phytostabilization of plants was evaluated considering the concentration of heavy metals in the plant tissues and also the bioconcentration fact...

background & aim: verbascum songaricum is a perennial herbaceous belongs to the scrophulariaceae (snapdragon) family. current study was done to study the environmental conditions effect on phytochemical properties of verbascum songaricum leaves for extracting the effective materials. experimental: this study was conducted at five range sites, including hoze valley, ghahiz, someirom, ghale ...

the present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant and antifungal effects ofmethanol extract from aerial part of verbascum speciosum. the total phenolic andflavonoid content and the antioxidant activity of the plant extract were determined byusing the folin-ciocalteau and the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) free radicalscavenging assays. the total phenols and flavonoid content o...

The valleys of Restelica and Vraca in Kosovo have not been explored sufficiently due to their geographical position the harshness terrain. plant species Ranunculus degenii has collected Restelica, on way border with North Macedonia or between this road Albanian near Shishtavec, while Verbascum scardicola found valley. These localities are mainly dominated by silicate substrate, although presenc...

Plants have been used as folkloric sources of medicinal agents since the beginning of mankind. As the age of modern medicine, single pure drugs emerged, and plant-derived active principles, their semi-synthetic and synthetic analogs have served as a major route to new pharmaceuticals. Since 1961, plant-derived compounds have been approved for use as anticancer drugs: vinblastine (Velban®), vinc...

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is a plant growth-promoting hormone used in agriculture; therefore, its continuous production is of paramount importance. IAA-producing eight bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of Verbascum vulcanicum. Among them, Arthrobacter agilis A17 gave maximum IAA production (75 mg/L) and this strain was used to immobilization studies. The A. agilis A17 cells were immobi...

Orange mullein is a biennial plant belonging to the figwort (Scrophulariaceae) family. The vivid yellow flowers are arranged in spikes located on top of stem. It drought and cold-tolerant requiring much sunlight that grows pastures, roadsides, dry weed associations. aim this study was assess effect different solvents (water, 70% acetone, methanol, ethanol) assessment antioxidant capacity leaves...

Methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate extracts obtained from Verbascum pinnatifidum Vahl. V. antinori Boiss. et Heldr were investigated for their bioactive composition, antimicrobial antibiofilm activity. Antimicrobial activity was determined with Escherichia coli NRRL B-3704, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Proteus vulgaris 13315, Acinetobacter baumanii 19606), Bacillus subtilis 6633, Staphyl...
