Accumulation of 34 trace and major elements was analysed in 9 plant species ( Tussilago farfara , Arctium tomentosum Solidago canadensis Populus L., Eupatorium cannabinum Verbascum sp., Solanum nigrum Rumex crispus Betula pendula ) one fungus Schizophyllum commune collected from coal, PbZn-smelting, mixed-type waste heaps Upper Silesia (Poland). The most persistent extreme enrichment found the ...

Lamiales sensu APG II (The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2003) constitute a major clade of flowering plants, with approximately 17,800 species (Judd & al., 2002) and 23 families, representing 12.3% of eudicot diversity (Stevens, 2001, onwards). They belong to a major asterid clade, the Lamiids (Bremer & al., 2002). The monophyly of Lamiales is comparatively uncontroversial and well supported by m...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are associated with almost all plants in nature and are ubiquitous. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi status of 10 wild herb and shrub was investigated during winter and summer season in Pine forest of himalaya(HP). The herbs and shrubs investigated for studied are: Reinwardtia indica, Berberis lycium, Viola serpens,Taraxacum officinale, Caryopteris wallichiana...

Forty-one methanol extracts of 28 indigenous medicinal plant species were tested for their insecticidal bioactivity against cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), adults and second nymphal instars under controlled conditions. This study is within a bioprospection context, in the form of utilizing local plant species as an alternative in sustainable agriculture dev...

The traditional medicine still plays an important role in the primary health care in Yemen. The current study represents the investigation of 16 selected plants, which were collected from different localities of Yemen. The plants were dried and extracted with two different solvents (methanol and hot water) to yield 34 crude extracts. The obtained extracts were tested for their antimicrobial act...

Ongoing changes in Earth's climate are shifting the elevation ranges of many plant species with non-native species often experiencing greater expansion into higher elevations than native species. These climate change-induced shifts in distributions inevitably expose plants to novel biotic and abiotic environments, including altered solar ultraviolet (UV)-B (280-315 nm) radiation regimes. Do the...

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...
