The sequential extraction of Teucrium montanum L. was realized with five solvents of different polarities (70% methanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol). The scavenging activity (SA) of obtained extracts was tested by measuring their ability to scavenge stable 2,2`-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The results ...

Teucrium species have been used for centuries in folk medicine as cholagogic, diuretic, antispasmodic, and antidiabetic agents [1]; as antirheumatic, antiinflammatory, antiseptic, anthelmintic, carminative and flavouring agents [2]; and as antipyretics and stimulants [3]. The genus Teucrium comprises approximately 200 herbs and shrubs spread all over the world, especially in the Mediterranean r...

salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors limiting the plants' growth. seed priming is known as a method which improves the germination performance in seeds in stress conditions. the objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of hydropriming and halopriming on germination performance of secale montanum while growing under the nacl-salinity stress. hydropr...

Background: Propionibacterium acnes is a commensal bacteria that play role in developing acne vulgaris on the skin. Antibacterial activity assay last decades have shown resistant to several antibiotics. Potential zingiber genera such as Z. officinale, montanum, and zerumbet potential antibacterial. Objective: This study aims compare antibacterial of montanum against acnes, active fraction, comp...

objective: returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. in fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as ph and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. in addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

Genetic modification of plants by the insertion of transgenes can be a powerful experimental approach to answer basic questions about gene product function. This technology can also be used to make improved crop varieties for use in the field. To apply this powerful tool to red clover, an important forage legume, a population of red clover with a high potential for regeneration in tissue cultur...

Baliospermum montanum leaves yielded 3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethoxy-10-methyl-9-acridanone (1), an alkaloid from the CHCl₃ fraction. Spectroscopic analysis was performed to assign the structure of the new compound (1) and its absolute configuration. The compound was evaluated for its effect in anaphylaxis by estimation of the release of histamine in systemic anaphylaxis model. The acridanone alkaloid ...

In the framework of study on rust fungi of Fabaceae and based on the study of herbarium and newly collected specimens, six Uromyces species are recognized on Medicago spp. and Trifolium spp. from Iran. Among these species, U. fallens is recorded as new member for the Iranian rust flora. U. striatus is recorded as main causal agent of rust on lucerne (Medicago sativa) in Iran. Moreover, U. trifo...

Abstract Two new prenylated dihydrochalcones (1,2) and eighteen known secondary metabolites (3?20) were isolated from the CH2Cl2-MeOH (1:1) extracts of roots, stem bark leaves Eriosema montanum Baker f. (Leguminosae). The structures compounds characterized by NMR, IR, UV spectroscopic mass spectrometric analyses. 5, 10, 11 13 confirmed single crystal X-ray diffraction. antibacterial activity cr...
