There is substantial diversity in Achillea biebersteinii plants in Iran. It has considerable different biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, herbicidal and wound healing. Research improvement for medicinal plants depends on the available genetic diversity. The assessment of genetic variability could increase the information for breeding programs. ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological and morphological characteristics of narcissus tazatta in response to benzyl adenine (ba) and nano-potassium fertilizer. this experiment was done as factorial with two factors of benzyl adenine hormone and nano-potassium fertilizer in a completely randomized design with ten replications.  benzyl adenine in four levels (0, 500, 750 and1000 ...

in this research, the effects of pulsing application of preservative solutions containing salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) and long period application of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg/l), menthol (75 and 125 mg/l) and eugenol (50 and 100 mg/l) on the maintain quality and extend vase-life of carnation cut flowers two tests were eva...

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants in Iran. The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of organic nutrients on the yield and oil content of chamomile. The experiment was conducted in the spring of 2010. The treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 tons/ha) and the Aminol Forte sprays (no spraying or contro...

Camellia is an economically important ornamental plant that has many uses, such as in beverages, foods and medicines. We examined 15 Camellia cultivars in Wenzhou, China, using RAPD markers and measurements of three traits (petal color, flower diameter, blooming period). PCR amplification with 15 random primers produced 1935 bands, observed at 88 amplification loci; 77% of the amplified loci we...

In this study, I tested whether selection occurring on several morphological and floral traits in Erysimum mediohispanicum (Cruciferae) is modified by the effects of herbivores. Six plots were established in 1997 in the Sierra Nevada, Spain; three were fenced to exclude native ungulates, and the remaining were open to ungulates. I determined pollinator and ungulate preferences for plant traits ...

We characterized variations in Cordia boissieri flowers and established if these variations occur between plants or between flowering events. Flowering and fruiting was measured for 256 plants. A GLM test was used to determine the relationship between flowering and fruit set processes and rainfall. We performed measurements of floral traits to detect variations within the population and between...
