To examine the genetic variation for drought stress in chamomile, eight accessions belonging to four species were evaluated under both field and greenhouse conditions using normal and late season drought stress. In the field experiment drought stress were initiated with irrigation cease at the commencement of flowering time. In greenhouse experiment, irrigation carried out at flower initiation ...

background & aim: german chamomile is one of the most important medicinal plants. so, assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among the traits are very essential in chamomile breeding programs. determination of the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of essence percent and dry flower yield of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations was investiga...

Background: There is extensive variety of chemical compounds with antiulcer activity, which are isolated from medicinal plants. Matricaria chamomilla or Matricaria recutita or German chamomile, also spelled chamomile (MC), is one of the most widely used medicinal plants. In the present study, the extract of MC flowers was evaluated for antiulcerogenic activity and acute toxicity profile. Method...

The new natural polyamine conjugate 1N,5N,10N,14N-tetracoumaroyl spermine (tetracoumaroyl spermine) recently isolated from chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) flower heads is applicable for the treatment of several human disorders such as depression and anxiety. High variability in the level of tetracoumaroyl spermine is found in commercial tisanes. Accumulation of tetracoumaroyl spermine was ...

abstract genetic diversity of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations in iran was evaluated using morphological, agronomical and phonological characteristics and compared with three cultivars from germany, hungary and iran. in this experiment, statistical design of rcbd with three replications was used, sixteen quantitative traits were measured such as yield, flower number per p...

Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist syn. (horseweed) is a problematic and invasive weed with reported allelopathic properties. To identify the phytotoxic constituents of the aerial parts, a systematic bioactivity-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract was performed. Three active enyne derivatives, (2Z,8Z)-matricaria acid methyl ester, (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactone, and (4Z)-lachnophyllum...

aqueous (hydrophilic) and chloroform (lipophilic) extracts of nine medicinal plants currently used in traditional medicine, in egypt, to treat some gastrointestinal tract (git) disorders were tested for their gastro-protective effect against the incidence of peptic ulcer. indomethacin-induced ulcer in a rat model was used for this testing. mentha microphylla, brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage...
