The colonization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) along roots in turn facilitates their ability to promote growth and health. In this study, we found that Bacillus subtilis strain WM13-24 from the rhizosphere Haloxylon ammodendron was able both Arabidopsis its host plant. Furthermore, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could by stimulating lateral root formation hair growth. Howeve...

background: we evaluated the in vivo activity of bunium persicum (boiss) essential oil on infected mice with acute toxoplasmosis. methods: to evaluate prophylactic effects, male nmri mice received b. persicum essential oil at the concentrations of 0.05 and 0.1 ml/kg for 14 days . after 24 h mice were infected intraperitonealy with 1×10 4 tachyzoites of t. gondii, rh strain. in order to investig...

Bunium persicum (Boiss.) is an economically important medicinal plant growing wild in arid regions in Iran. The essential oil of B. persicum (EOBP) was extracted using hydrodistillation. A total of eighteen compounds, representing 96.14 % of the oil was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).The main compounds were cuminaldehyde (23.04 %), gamma-terpinene (14.48 %), trans-3-...

Black zira (Bunium persicum) is a medicinal plant and spice, naturally grows in Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different concentrations of Bunium persicum essential oil (EO; including 0, 0.08, 0.16 and 0.24%), three incubation temperatures (15, 25 and 35˚C), three levels of pH (5, 6 and 7 adjusted by hydrochloric acid), and three inoculum size (10(2), 10(...

The emerging drug resistance bacteria increased the demand on the discovery of antibiotics from natural sources. This research was aimed to study the antibacterial reactivity; as well as the phytochemicals, of the wild type of Cyclamen persicum, using nine different extraction methods where four solvents (Methanol, Ethanol, Hexane; and Water) were involved with varied extraction periods ranged ...

A new species of the genus Augeriflechtmannia Koçak and Kemal, 2008 – formerly Diplonychus Auger Flechtmann, 2003, namely haloxyloni sp. nov. is described illustrated based on females males collected from Haloxylon ammodendron (Amaranthaceae) in Iran. key to known world also provided.
