objective: the growing resistance of different bacteria to antibiotic chemical drugs have become the global issue. this investigation is the first study of the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of flowering aerial parts of vaccinium arctostaphylos. the current research was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effects of essential oils and hydroalcoholic extract  extracted from aeri...

In the last five decades study on plant secondary metabolites have been increasing. Higher plants with a wide range of secondary metabolites have been very important in the search of new therapeutic agents. Flavonoids are most widely distributed secondary natural metabolites that found in plants which occuring in free forms or as glycosides with polyphenolic structure. In this study secondary m...

abstract the aim of this study was the identify cyanobacterial flora of rice–fields in dargaz, to interaction between cyanobacteria by culturing in solid medium bg-110 in laboratory was investigated. nostoc piscinale and nostoc spongiaeforme were identified as strongest and weakness species, respectively, regarding secondary metabolits producing (allelochemicals).the algal pairs were classified...

fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l.) has a long and respected history of medicinal uses in middle east and persian medicine. the hypocholesterolaemic and hypoglycaemic effects of fenugreek were attributed to its major steroidal sapogenin, diosgenin and its major alkaloid, trigonelline. the knowledge of diosgenin and trigonelline biosynthesis is derived from studies of cholesterol and nicoti...

hairy root systems are formed by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic engineer” agrobacterium rhizogenes. in most plants such as cichorium intybus l., hairy root cultures have proven to be an efficient system for secondary metabolites production. the effect of zinc (znso4), a heavy metal, was investigated at different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 mm) on some secondary metaboli...

background & aim: sweet basil (ocimum basilicum), a plant that is extensively cultivated in some countries, is used to enhance the flavour of salads, sauces, pasta, confectioneries and other products as both a fresh and dried herb. the effect of foliar application of jasmonic acid and reduced irrigation on essential oil yield and chemical components of two iranian landrace of basil (ocimum ...

background & aim: medicinal plants are most valuable and useful sources as productive factors of drugs. production and extraction of secondary metabolites have a huge economical importance in recent years. carvone is a compound in bunium persicum fruit and shoot and, it is one of the wide range varieties of valuable and useful secondary metabolites. due to limited crop production, using app...
