UNLABELLED Crataegus succulenta Schrad. ex Link is widely spread in North America. A literature survey revealed no studies on the chemical composition and biological effects of this species. AIM The aim of the present study was to investigate the phenolic content, free radical scavenging and 15-lipoxygenase inhibitory effects of Crataegus succulenta leaf and flower extracts. MATERIAL AND ME...

Phylogeographic relationships were constructed for 72 Old and New World Crataegus species using combinations of four chloroplast and up to five nuclear regions. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian results yield consistent relationships among major lineages. The close associations of the East Asian and western North American species point toward ancient trans-Beringian migrations...

Spatial pattern of trees can possibly indicate stand history, population dynamics, and species competition. This research was investigated in the Chahartagh forest reserve, Ardal region, chaharmehal and Bakhtiari Province, Central Zagros forest, and southwest Iranian state. In this study 53 hectare of the study area was selected and perfect inventory.  Information includes the position and kind...

A New Alkaloid named Sracosalgnenone [ (20S) -20(dimethylamino) -3β-tigoloyl-pregn-5, 16-diene-4-one] was isolated from sarcococca saligna and its structure was established on the basis of spectroscopic techniques includingH, C-NMR and inverse 2D-NMR techniques (DEPT, HMQC and HMBC) UV, MS etc.
