The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Varthemia. persica DC. var. persica, growing wild in Iran, were investigated by GC-MS. Sixty seven constituents were identified. ?-Cadinene (9.7%), Selin-11-en-4-?-ol (5.30%), Germacrene D (4.9%), Bicyclogermacrene (4.7%), ??Muurolene (4.7%), ?-Eudesmol (4.52%), ?-Himachalen oxide (3.6%), ?-Eudesmol (3.54%), ?-Bourbonene (3.21%) were found to be...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Due to their antimicrobial and dental plaque control activity, mouthwashes lead to an improvement in oral health. Although chemical mouthwashes have demonstrated the greatest antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, their usage has been limited because of their numerous side effects. This study was conducted in vivo to determine the antibacterial and antifungal effects o...

in this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from otostegia persica boiss (golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% ccl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 ml/kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...

2 Summary The history and use of miswak (tooth stick) as an oral tool as well as biological effects of Salvadora persica extracts are reviewed. An adult Sudanese population using miswak or a modern toothbrush regularly was examined by using clinical and microbial parameters. Use of Freeze-dried extract of miswak was analyzed for antimicrobial components. The results presented in this report sho...

A multi-year orchard experiment was established to measure the performance of Rootpac®-R, Rootpac®-20, Rootpac®-40, and Rootpac®-70 rootstocks using ‘Redhaven’ peach (Prunus persica var. persica) as scion, compared with Bailey seedling rootstock, current industry standard. Tree survival after five years 79% on Rootpac-40, whereas remaining showed no tree mortality. vigour canopy height width we...

In this study, torrenticolid water mite specimens collected from Kulp district (Diyarbakır, Türkiye) between 2020-2021 years were evaluated. Totaly, 15 species are determined belonging to the family Torrenticolidae. Torrenticola (s.str.) laskai Di Sabatino, 2009, (Megapalpis) persica Pesic, 2004 and Monatractides persicus new records for fauna of Türkiye. The male has been described first time.

introduction: spirochetes of borrelia can be visualized directly in infected ticks by dark-field microscopy. inoculation of in phosphate buffered saline (pbs) suspension of ground argasid soft ticks to susceptible animals or allowing the ticks to feed on the same species followed by microscopic examination of the animals’ blood have also been practiced. with the advent of molecular methods and ...

Prunus persica L. Batsch, or peach, is one of the most important crops and it is widely established in irrigated arid and semi-arid regions. However, due to variations in the climate and the increased aridity, drought has become a major constraint, causing crop losses worldwide. The use of drought-tolerant rootstocks in modern fruit production appears to be a useful method of alleviating water ...

cell cultures of varthemia persica dc. have been studied to evaluate their abilities in biotransformation of aromatic and aliphatic precursors. v. persica (asteraceae) is an aromatic plant growing in iran. v. persica contain different terpens but its cell culture does not posses these compounds. callus cultures of v. persica was established from seedlings and healthy suspensions were grown usin...
