Eryngium caucasicum Trautv and Froriepia subpinnata were found in natively in the eastern parts of the south Caspian Sea coasts. Antioxidant activity of E. caucasicum Trautv and F. subpinnata were investigated employing six in vitro assay systems. IC50 for DPPH radical-scavenging activity was 0.27 ± 0.02 for E. caucasicum leaves and 0.42 ± 0.03 mg ml for F. subpinnata, respectively. The extract...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Eryngium alpinum (Apiaceae) is an endangered perennial, characteristic of the Alpine flora. Because the breeding system influences both demographic (reproductive success) and genetic (inbreeding depression, evolutionary potential) parameters that are crucial for population maintenance, the reproductive ecology of E. alpinum was investigated. Specifically, the aims of the stu...
