As a result of human activity, the rate extinction species is now 100 to 1000 times faster than under natural conditions [1]. According FAO, 75% genetic diversity agricultural crops worldwide has been lost since 1990. In Poland, about field weeds are in danger extinction. Archaeophytes growing on heavy calcareous soils, which characteristic Lathyro-Melandrietum noctiflori, Caucalido-Scandicetum...

Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the survival and growth of plants in the different habitats of Iran. Detailed knowledge about the ecophysiological responses of native plants to drought stress could contribute to the success of breeding and re-vegetation programs. Six wild populations of Anthemis tinctoria, were assigned to four drought treatments, i.e. well...

AIM Gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes are considered as a major constraint for successful sheep production. Control of these parasites heavily relies on the use of chemical anthelmintics. Over the past decades, the development of anthelmintic resistance to various groups of anthelmintics and problem of drug residues in animal products has awakened interest in medicinal plants as an alternative so...

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a slowly progressive disease characterized by the overproduction of granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils). A blood smear shows moderate elevations in white blood cell counts that may persist for years and be benign. Platelets are increased in number, although their function is impaired, resulting in symptoms of easy bleeding (purpura, swoll...

Morinda tinctoria (Rubiaceae) is commonly found in the regions of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Indonesia. This plant is used in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. Ethanolic extract of whole plant of M. tinctoria was screened for anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan induced rat paw edema at the dose level 100, 200 and 400mg/kg was compared with the standard drug, Diclofenac so...

About 130 species of genus Anthemis occur throughout the world. Thirty-nine of them could be found in flora of Iran. According to literature, this species was not the subject of research up to now and therefore its chemical composition is not well known. However, flavonoids, polyphenolic acids, terpene and sesquiterpene compounds were reported to be the major constituents of some other species ...
