Comparing other methods of waste water treatment, constructed wetlands are one of the most fascinating practices because being a natural process they are eco-friendly have low construction and maintenance cost and have considerable capability of wastewater treatment. The current research was focused mainly on comparison of Ranunculus muricatus and Typha latifolia as wetland plants for domestic ...

Herbal medicines are commonly used in the eastern regions of Turkey, especially in the treatment of rheumatic complaints. In addition, the use of various foods and drinks for cosmetic purposes is increasing among Turkish people. Despite this extensive use of alternative treatment methods for medical and cosmetic purposes, comprehensive research is still required due to the severe local and syst...

the genus ranunculus l., with a worldwide distribution, is the largest member of the ranunculaceae. here, nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (its) sequence data and chloroplast trnlf sequence data were used to analyze phylogenetic relationships among members of the annual and perennial (group praemorsa, group rhizomatosa, group grumosa and group non-grumosa) species of ranunculus...

Two high mountain plants Soldanella alpina (L.) and Ranunculus glacialis (L.) were transferred from their natural environment to two different growth conditions (22 degrees C and 6 degrees C) at low elevation in order to investigate the possibility of de-acclimation to light and cold and the importance of antioxidants and metabolite levels. The results were compared with the lowland crop plant ...

In the pre-alpine region of Europe numbers and sizes of populations of the clonal lake shore plant Ranunculus reptans have declined because of the regulation of lake water levels. We investigated genetic variation among and within 17 populations of different size (cover 1-10 000 m) in R. reptans with RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) profiles. We sampled 127 rosettes in 14 populations at ...
