the chamomile species of anthemis triumfettii (l.) all is one of important medicinal plant belong to compositae family and it grows as wild species in zagros and alborz mountains, iran. the aim of this study was to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits and their relationships with essential oil. seeds of seven accessions were sown in jiffy pots and transferred to field using rando...

The use of natural products as medicinal agents presumably predates the earliest recorded history. Ocimum sanctum L., is a plant which is used in several traditional medicine systems to cure various diseases. In this study aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum were collected on august 2014 from Shahr-e-Rey in Iran. Fresh and dry partsof plants essential oils were extracted with hydro-distillation and ...

In the floriculture industry, the need for heat tolerant bedding plant cultivars is increasing because of the rising temperature around the world. A pot experiment was carried out to examine the impacts of four heat stress durations (0, 7, 14 and 21 days) on growth and ornamental traits to determine the relative heat tolerance of four cultivars of calendula (Calendula officinalis). Growth and d...

We investigated the effects of catecholamine on flower-induction in P. nil (cv. Violet). GC-SIM analysis identified dopamine for the first time in P. nil seedlings. Dopamine levels in the cotyledons did not show a significant change during the inducing dark treatment. The dopamine content of cotyledons exposed to various durations of darkness were 0.1-0.2 nmol/g fresh weight. The same content w...

The application of biofertilizers constitutes one of the main components of nutrient management with a fundamental role in sustainable agriculture and the improvement of plant qualitative traits. The present research assessed the effect of various treatments of phosphate solubilizing bacteria including Pantoea agglomerans strain P5 and Pseudomonas putida</...

We isolated a novel pungent principle from the flower buds of myoga. Based on an interpretation of the HR-MS, EI-MS, IR, UV, and NMR data, this compound was (8betaH)-14,17-cyclolabda-12,14(17)-diene-15,16-dial (mioganal, 1). We determined the threshold value of mioganal to be 5.6x10(-5) g/ml, which is about eight times greater than that of 8beta(17)-epoxy-12(E)labdene-15,16-dial (miogadial), th...

in order to investigate the response of coneflower to applying chemical fertilizer and incorporation with municipal solid waste compost (mswc), a pot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with six treatments included: control (without applying chemical fertilizer and compost), chemical fertilizer (150 kg n, 120 kg p2o5 and 250 kg k2o per hectare from urea, triple super phosph...
