the composition of essential oil isolated from achillea eriophora, achillea millefolium, achillea biebersteinii and achillea tenuifolia growing wild in the south west of iran, was analyzed.  a. eriophora, a. millefolium and a. tenuifolia essential oils were characterized by sabinene, 1, 8-cineole, terpinene-4-ol, ά –bisabolol, p-cymene, β-pinene and α-pinene. the a. biebersteinii essential oil ...

Achillea (Asteraceae) comprises 115 species, which are mainly distributed in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and as an introduced plant in the New World. The genus Achillea, generally called Bumadaran in Persian, is well known for medicinal properties such as anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects. Achillea has long been used in traditional medicine for treatment of neuralgia...

achillea tenuifolia lam (asteraceae) afforded a methanolic extract from which after fractionation in solvents with different polarities two known flavones 3’, 5- dihydroxy- 4’, 6, 7- trimethoxy flavone (eupatorine, compound 3), 5- hydroxy- 3’, 4’, 6, 7- tetramethoxyflavone (compound 4), besides stearic acid (compound 1 ), lupeol (compound 2), daucosterol (β- sitosterol 3-o- β- d- glucopyranosid...

Achillea tenuifolia Lam. (Asteraceae) afforded a methanolic extract from which after fractionation in solvents with different polarities, two known flavones 3', 5- dihydroxy- 4', 6, 7- trimethoxy flavone (eupatorine, compound 3), 5- hydroxy- 3',4', 6, 7- tetramethoxyflavone (compound 4), besides stearic acid (compound 1), lupeol (compound 2), daucosterol (β- sitosterol 3-O- β- D- glucopyranosid...

Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 187 amplified fragments, of which 1...
