Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes crown gall disease. The strain Ach5 was isolated from yarrow (Achillea ptarmica L.) and is the wild-type progenitor of other derived strains widely used for plant transformation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.

We have produced a chloroform extract from Achillea which includes stigmasterol and sitosterol. By comparing it with the pure compounds an anti-inflammatory effect (with mouse ears) is assumed. The topical anti-inflammatory effect of the chloroform extract from Achillea ageratum (Asteraceae) and of stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol, isolated of this extract has been evaluated, against to 12-0-te...

species in Italy of which nine are endemic. Several Achillea species are used for their pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fragrance properties. The extracts exhibit pharmacologic activities such as antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Achillea ligustica ALL., a member of the Achillea nobilis group, has been used as medicine mainly for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders ...

AIM To compare the antibacterial effect of hydro alcoholic extract of Salvia officinalis, Pimpinella anisum, Satureja hortensis, Rhus coriaria, Carum copticum, Mentha longifolia, Achillea millefolium against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Actinomyces viscosus through two in vitro methods. METHODS In this experimental study, hydro-alcoholic extracts have been prepared from t...

the composition of essential oil isolated from achillea eriophora, achillea millefolium, achillea biebersteinii and achillea tenuifolia growing wild in the south west of iran, was analyzed.  a. eriophora, a. millefolium and a. tenuifolia essential oils were characterized by sabinene, 1, 8-cineole, terpinene-4-ol, ά –bisabolol, p-cymene, β-pinene and α-pinene. the a. biebersteinii essential oil ...

More than 80% of the worldís population depend upon traditional medicines for various skin diseases (1). Recently, the traditional use of plants for wound healing has received attention by the scientific community (1, 2). Approximately one-third of all traditional medicines in use are for the treatment of wounds and skin disorders, compared to only 1-3 % of modern drugs (3). Wound healing is a ...

achillea millefolium belong to the asteraceae family and from genus achillea. in this study essential oils were extracted from all aerial parts via hydro distillation (hd) method by clevenger set . by using of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( gc-ms) technique the chemicals component essential oil were identified. about 41 components with were identified which encompassed 97.66 percent of ...

Plantibacter flavus isolate 251 is a bacterial endophyte isolated from an Achillea millefolium plant growing in a natural oil seep soil located in Oil Springs, Ontario, Canada. We present here a draft genome sequence of an infrequently reported genus Plantibacter, highlighting an endophytic lifestyle and biotechnological potential.
