Salvia a medicinal plant with lots chemical constituents. plays an important role in treating different fatal diseases. Maximum fresh and dry weights were obtained at 1.5 mg L-1 melatonin. highest DPPH scavenging activity, total phenolics flavonoid content

Morphological features of seeds of 9 species of Campanula L., section Quinqueloculares (Boiss.) Phitos (Campanulaceae) which are distributed in Turkey were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Characteristics of the seeds and their surface are described and compared.
