Isolation of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant for their anti-tumor effects. It has been reported that several species of conifers posses’ cytotoxic activities on some tumor cell lines. Here branchlets and berries of Juniperus foetidissima and J. sabina were collected, dried and ethanol extracts of them obtain...

Küresel ölçekte incelendiğinde, biyolojik çeşitlilik sağlama ve karbon tutma bakımından önemli ekosistemler arasındaki ormanların, biyotik, abiyotik antropojenik etkenler nedeniyle değişimler içerisinde olduğu görülmektedir. Bu süreçte, iklimin belirleyici bir rolü kabul edilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, değişen iklim koşullarının, ormanların dağılımını, bileşimini, işlevini oranda değiştireceği sonu...

Trees' height (H) and diameter (D) growth depend on many factors vary between species. This study examined H D of Juniperus excelsa, J. foetidissima, Pinus nigra, Quercus cerris Q. pubescens, growing naturally in the Central Anatolian forest steppe site conditions (human impact, woody plant coverage, tree density, altitude, exposure) that influence growth. The present hypothesises decline might...

The present study aimed at evaluating the antimicrobial activity of chloroform extracts of stem and leaf of Kedrostis foetidissima (jacq.) cogn. (Cucurbitaceae) against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens and Klebsiella pneumoniae. was carried out using agar disc diffusion technique. The results revealed that the chloroform extract of stem presen...

Fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in Anatolia. Thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of Juniperus foetidissima Willd. and J. sabina L. in this study. In-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...
