Background and Aims: In this study, antimicrobial activities of extracts obtained from narrowly dispersed local endemic gypsophytes grown in extreme habitats were investigated for the first time. The aim study was to analyzed effects narrow plants that are Thymus ekimii Yildirimli, Verbascum gypsicola Vural & Aydogdu, Glaucium secmenii Yildirimli Psephellus erzincani Wagenitz Kandemir. Met...

Propolis is a sticky resinous mixture of plant secretions and bee wax. has used for ethnobotanical reasons from ancient cultures nowadays the researchers focus on testing propolis extracts raw forms health problems. Knowledge about quality samples very important to solve various The highly associated with botanical origin. This preliminary study was conducted determining origin Malatya in 2022....

This study aimed to investigate the phenolic content, antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity and in vitro wound healing activity of methanolic aqueous extracts Verbascum stachydifolium Boiss & Heldr. var. stachydifolium. Total flavonoid contents were measured using spectrophotometry-based methods. Quantitative analysis selected phenolics was performed by HPLC. The cytotoxic effects on L929 mous...

Zoophytophagous predators can substitute zoophagy for phytophagy to complete their development and reproduction. In such predators, variation in feeding behaviour is observed both across and within populations. This may be caused by genetic variation in diet specialization, some genotypes specializing on plant resources, whereas others rely mostly on prey to meet their energy and nutriment requ...

The antioxidant properties of various fractions of a methanolic extract obtained from the aerial parts of Verbascum macrurum have been determined by monitoring their capacity to scavenge the stable free-radical DPPH. They were also evaluated as natural preservatives against oxidative rancidity using the accelerated Rancimat method. Their activities expressed as protection factor (PF(r)) indicat...

We examined the ̄oristic signi®cance of soil seed banks in relation to valley, midslope and ridge sites in a 70±90-year old forest in northeastern Connecticut. A-horizon mineral soils were collected to 5 cm depth in the early spring from forest understory sites across the topography. Samples from each of the sites were exposed to full sun within a greenhouse. Records of germination were made at...
