High carbon dioxide atmospheres combined with high temperature were effective for controlling Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) pupae. Pupae were exposed to atmospheres of 60, 80, or 98% carbon dioxide (CO2) in nitrogen (N2), or 60 or 80% CO2 in air at temperatures of 26.7 degrees C or 32.2 degrees C and 60% RH. Controlled atmosphere treatments at 32.2 degrees C controlled pupae ...

The illustrated information on identification, distribution, specimens examined, habitat, conservation status, phenology, etymology, taxonomic notes.

Verbascum thapsus is naturally grown in the Himalayas and widely used herbal teas traditional medicine for its anticarcinogenic anti-inflammatory properties. The present study was designed to majority of leaf extracts from thapsus. All were analysed phytochemical properties, antioxidant capacity antimicrobial potential against both Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria. Biochemical investigation...

background and objectives: the genus verbascum, with nearly 360 species, is one of the largest members of schrophulariacea family. in the flora of iran, the genus verbascum is represented by 43 species among them seventeen plants are endemic. verbascum species are well known in folk medicine and are widely used for therapeutic purposes. verbascum sublobatum murb. grows wildly in north of iran. ...

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties of four major compounds from the flowers of Verbascum pterocalycinum var. mutense were investigated. Saponin glycosides called ilwensisaponin A and C and iridoid glycosides known as ajugol and picroside IV were isolated from the methanolic extract. A dose-related anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive response were obtained in this study at do...

background & aim: in the present research, we investigated phytochemical characteristics of two important species of verbascum genus. enormous reconnaissance and field surveys were conducted to identify the most important natural habitats of verbascum species in kohgiluyeh va buyerahmad province, southern iran. experimental: the aerial parts of verbascum songaricum and v.  cheirantifolium w...
