Iron (Fe) deficiency causes great disturbances to plant growth, productivity and metabolism. This study investigated the effect of bicarbonate-induced Fe on Foeniculum vulgare (Mill) nutrient uptake, accumulation secondary metabolites impact bioactivities. When grown under indirect conditions (+Fe +Bic), plants decreased their total mass, an that was clearly evident in shoots (?28%). Instead, r...

Following the oral administration of acetone extract of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) seeds for 15 days is male rats, total protein concentration was found to be significantly decreased in testes and vas deferens and increased in seminal vesicles and prostate gland. There was a decrease in activities of acid and alkaline phosphatase in all these regions, except that alkaline phosphatase was uncha...

BACKGROUND Plant extracts and oils may act as alternatives to conventional pesticides for malaria vector control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oils of three plants of Apiaceae family against Anopheles stephensi, the main malaria vector in Iran. METHODS Essential oils from Heracleum persicum, Foeniculum vulgare and Coriandrum sativum seeds were hyd...

The commercial essential oils of Citrus aurantium L., Cupressus sempervirens L., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Thymus vulgaris L., isolated by steam distillation by a company of Morocco were evaluated in terms of in vitro antioxidant activity through several methods. In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was also determined. Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. oil...

in order to evaluate cardinal temperatures and optimum thermal range of germination of three medicinal plants including thymus transcaspicus, foeniculum vulgare and  calligonumjunceum  an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. therefore, this experiment was conducted to study of the seed germination characteristics to temperature. the we used three m...
