low seed yield is a limiting factor for cross breeding and hybrid seed production in cyclamen. this study was performed to investigate pollen germination and its relation to cross-pollination success and fruit set in this plant. in order to achieve a high level of pollen germination, the effect of different concentrations of chemical compounds were examined on in vitro pollen germination of cyc...

This plant is considered highly poisonous not suitable for human use. However, tuber extracts have been used traditional medicine homeopathy. The aim this study was inves...

Introduction: Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm are the major causes of death in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Some studies revealed that biofilms are resistant to several antibiotics because of their impermeable structures. In order to resensitize bacteria to different antibiotics, biofilm formation should be inhibited. In this research, evaluation of antibiofilm activi...

This study was designed for investigate of antioxidant, and anti-proliferative activities acetone, methanol water extracts different parts (fresh underground parts) Cyclamen cilicium extracts. The antioxidant were determined using DPPH, ABTS free radical scavenging activities. Anti-proliferative in Caco-2 colon cancer cells detected by XTT assay. determination contents evaluated total phenolics...
