galbanum (ferula gummosa bioss) is a medicinal, commercial and industrial plant in iran but its cultivation is restricted by seed dormancy. therefore, a study was conducted to determine class and environmental requirements for breaking of seed dormancy. during imbibition study, both scarified and intact seeds exhibited similar pattern in water uptake and it seems there is not physical dormancy....

This survey was performed to aim of synthesize Nano emulsion from Ferula gummosa essential oil (FEGO-NE) and evaluate its anti-tumor effect. First, analyzed by GC–MS method, then the synthesized as O/W after characterization DLS, Zeta potential, AFM, FESEM TEM methods, toxicity evaluated MTT method. Then pro-apoptotic effects were qPCR (Caspase3, 9, Bax Bcl-2) method AO/PI staining. The cancer ...
