Tincture of the dry herb has been used for ages in Uyghur folk medicine to treat heart disease, blood pressure, angina, tracheitis, atherosclerosis, neuralgia, migraine, and headache and toothache. 3 Since the 1970s, 246 compounds, including terpenoids,steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, lignans, phenols, coumarins, and cyanogenicglucosides, have been identified from the genus Dracocephalum, and t...

This study evaluates the antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory potential of polyphenolic acid-rich fractions 80% methanolic extract from hairy roots Dracocephalum moldavica. The fractionation crude yielded following: a diethyl ether fraction rich in caffeic acid (DM1) (25.85 mg/g DWE), an n-butyl rosmarinic (DM3) (43.94 DWE) water residue salvianolic B (DM4) (51.46 DWE). content these co...

In order to study the effects of humic acid foliar spraying on morphological traits, photosynthetic pigmentation, and essential oil content of Dracocephalum moldavica, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saveh. The investigated factors included the use of humic acid at four levels 0 (control), 200, 400, and 800 mg/L and eth...

Collembola were studied in a well-preserved riverine section of the Prut River in the Republic of Moldova. The study was focused on species diversity and habitat preferences of the particular species at two localities. Riparian habitats of the Prut River near Branişte included open river bank, forest belt and meadow, and the shore of Lake Costeşti-Stânca included meadow, pasture and shrub veget...

introduction: unsaturated fatty acids , one of the most important components of biological membranes , are very sensitive to oxidation processes. damage to cells and tissues by oxidation of these kinds of acids is one of the most important contributing  factors in many diseases, such as, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. there are some available antioxidant synthetic compounds i...

Abstract The Meadow and Steppe viper, Vipera ursinii-renardi complex is a well-studied group that divided into several morphological subspecies. In this study, we combine the analyses of two mitochondrial genes with 9 microsatellite markers to compare both phylogenetic signals. Whereas signal similar between genomes within most subspecies, relative relationships subspecies are more differentiat...

one of the most common methods for conservation of plant genetic resources is their ex situ storage as seed gene banks. seeds that are stored in the gene banks must be regenerated due to exchange and seed deterioration; if they not be regenerated the potential benefits of infrastructure investments for germplasm ex situ conservation may not be attained. prediction of seed longevity is based on ...
