parthenolide is major sesquiterpene lactones present in anthemis haussknechtii boiss. & reut. (feverfew). this compound has many effects on different disease such as migrain and cancer. parthenolide was reported from tanacetum parthenium (l.) sch.bip. but other plants of asteraceae family could contain parthenolide. in this study parthenolide was extracted and identified with two methods, fouri...

Introduction: The polar condensation/sublimation of CO2, that involve about one fourth of the atmosphere mass, is the major Martian climatic cycle. Early observations in visible and thermal infrared have shown that the sublimation of the Seasonal South Polar Cap (SSPC) is not symmetric around the geographic South Pole [1]. Therefore the asymmetric release of CO2 in the atmosphere may lead to sp...

This study aimed at the investigation of in vitro biological activities (antioxidant and enzyme inhibition) phytochemical composition various extracts (ethanol maceration, aqueous infusion, decoction) obtained from leaf organs Helichrysum pallasii, which has been traditionally used as herbal tea medicine Eastern Anatolia. Experimental analysis showed that ethanol-based extract had higher total ...

Crocus sativus is the source of saffron spice, the processed stigma which accumulates glucosylated apocarotenoids known as crocins. Crocins are found in the stigmas of other Crocuses, determining the colourations observed from pale yellow to dark red. By contrast, tepals in Crocus species display a wider diversity of colours which range from purple, blue, yellow to white. In this study, we inve...

The accumulation of three major carotenoid derivatives-crocetin glycosides, picrocrocin, and safranal-is in large part responsible for the color, bitter taste, and aroma of saffron, which is obtained from the dried styles of Crocus. We have identified and functionally characterized the Crocus zeaxanthin 7,8(7',8')-cleavage dioxygenase gene (CsZCD), which codes for a chromoplast enzyme that init...

The article describes a new hybrid namely Gypsophila × moldavica Pînzaru (G. glomerata G. collina), formed under ex situ conditions, in the author's private garden. Arguments have been brought to support claim of recognizing species Adams and it is considered appropriate synonymize pallasii Ikonn.

The larval food plant of the Apochima diaphanaria ssp. rjabovi (Wehrli, 1936) in Geometridae family has not been known until now. In this study, medicinal plants Ferula haussknechtii H. Wolff ex Rech.f., Prangos uloptera DC. (Apiaceae) and Rheum ribes L. (Polygonaceae) species are identified for first time as rjabovi. addition, Drino imberbis (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Tachinidae) is recorded ...
