Background: Pistacia is a genus of flowering plants from the Anacardiaceae family that grows in different parts Iran. This has pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Objectives: In this study, we investigated anti-melanogenic effect extracts essential oil unripe fruits P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica on B16F10 cell line. M...

The present study was designed to investigate the anti-melanogenic and cytotoxic activities of methanol extract of Phlomis kurdica. The antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activity of MeOH extract from P. kurdica (MPk) were examined by DPPH radical scavenging and mushroom tyrosinase activity assays (in vitro), respectively. Furthermore, the effect of MPk on the melanin content, cellular tyrosinase ...

A new Alcea species A. ilamica (Malvaceae), is described from Ilam province of Iran. The new species belongs to the sect. Pterocarpa. Differences from other Iranian species and its geographical distribution are discussed. SEM study of penicillate hairs showed that, A. ilamica is very similar to A. aucheri but has advanced characters. Illustrations and a distribution map are given '>A new Alcea ...

The effect of four water salinity levels (0.75, 5, 10 and 15 dS.m -1 ) on growth indices and physiological parameters in some wild pistachio (P. atlantica, P. atlantica subsp. kurdica, P. atlantica subsp. mutica and P. atlantica subsp. cabulica) were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Leaf dry weight was reduced to about 30-54% at ECw 10 dS.m -1 . Chemical analysis of shoot and root indi...

Las secciones obtenidas se tiñeron azul Safranina-Alcian, las anteras inmad...

in order to optimize callus induction in pistacia atlantica desf. subsp. kurdica rech. f., the effect of different plant growth regulator (pgr) combinations were studied. inflorescence axis explants were cultured on wpm medium supplemented with 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of tdz or 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of ba, in combination with 1mg/l different auxins: 2, 4-d,  naa  and iba . callus initiation was observed in a...

Introduction: Cadmium chloride causes hepatic dysfunction. In the present study, the protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Alcea rosea aerial parts were investigated on the hepatic enzyme dysfunction induced by cadmium chloride in adult male rats. Method: In this experimental study, 54 adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups of 9 as follows; control group, sham group 1 re...
