Haplotype phylogenies based on DNA sequence data are increasingly being used to test traditional species-level taxonomies based on morphology. However, few studies have critically compared species limits based on morphological and DNA data, and the methods used to delimit species using either type of data are only rarely explained. In this paper, we review three approaches for species delimitat...

Plantibacter flavus isolate 251 is a bacterial endophyte isolated from an Achillea millefolium plant growing in a natural oil seep soil located in Oil Springs, Ontario, Canada. We present here a draft genome sequence of an infrequently reported genus Plantibacter, highlighting an endophytic lifestyle and biotechnological potential.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of the aqueous extract of Achillea millefolium on recognition memory in mice. Methods: Male mice (35) were used. The aqueous extract of A. millefolium was prepared using a Soxhlet apparatus and injected intraperitoneally in a dose of 50, 250, 500 or 1000 mg/kg daily for 20 days. The control group was treated with saline 1 ml/mouse/day. Tactile learning was ass...

Displacement of the abomasum is a common disease of the gastrointestinal tract in dairy cattle. Abomasal displacement has been associated with abomasal hypomotility. Therefore, it is necessary to identify effective therapeutic agents that stimulate abomasal motility in cattle. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is traditionally used as a folk remedy for treatment of human gastrointestinal complaints...

Achillea millefolium L. is cultivated in Iran and widely used in traditional medicine for gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of A. millefolium on the contraction and relaxation of isolated ileum in rat. In this experimental study, aerial parts of A. millefolium were extracted by maceration in ethanol 70% for 72 h. Terminal por...

the composition of essential oil isolated from achillea eriophora, achillea millefolium, achillea biebersteinii and achillea tenuifolia growing wild in the south west of iran, was analyzed.  a. eriophora, a. millefolium and a. tenuifolia essential oils were characterized by sabinene, 1, 8-cineole, terpinene-4-ol, ά –bisabolol, p-cymene, β-pinene and α-pinene. the a. biebersteinii essential oil ...

Clinical and Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and other related disorders. These beneficial health effects have been attributed in part to the presence of antioxidants in dietary plants. Therefore screening for antioxidant properties of plant extracts has been one of the interests...

achillea millefolium belong to the asteraceae family and from genus achillea. in this study essential oils were extracted from all aerial parts via hydro distillation (hd) method by clevenger set . by using of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( gc-ms) technique the chemicals component essential oil were identified. about 41 components with were identified which encompassed 97.66 percent of ...

With increased prevalence of antibioticresistant bacterial, finding new sources with antibacterial activity could be an effective help in diseases. The antibacterial activity and Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the extracts of Calendula Officinalis L., Achillea millefolium L. Millefolium L., Allium haemanthoides Boiss. & Reut. ex Regel, Allium ampeloprasum L. and Echinophora platyloba...
