A new combination in the rank of subspecies, Campanula tridentata Schreb. subsp. ruprechtii (Boiss.) Ogan., distributed Armenia, Nakhchivan Republic and Iran is published. The lectotype name designated.

The prominent attributes of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) including its small genome size, short life cycle, inbreeding nature, and phylogenetic proximity to various biofuel crops have made this crop an excellent model system to investigate various aspects of architectural, evolutionary and physiological significances in Panicoid bioenergy grasses. After release of its whole genome sequen...

Piperazirum, isolated from Arum palaestinum Boiss, was originally assigned as r-3,c-5-diisobutyl-c-6-isopropylpiperazin-2-one. The reported structure was synthesised diastereoselectively using a key nitro-Mannich reaction to set up the C5/C6 relative stereochemistry. The structure was unambiguously assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction but the spectroscopic data did not match those repor...

Tiller leaf anatomical features of nine Alopecurus species collected from high mountainous areas in Turkey were evaluated the present study. Detailed descriptions studied taxa and an identification key generated using are given. Clustering principal coordinate analysis (PCA) methods applied based on a total 14 characters. Anatomical differences between detected characters taxonomic interest ide...

In this survey, the chromosome counts of eight Nepeta L. species were investigated and karyotypic diversity among these was studied. The examined belong to N. cephalotes Boiss. group, namely eremokosmos Rech.f., gloeocephala Rech. f., Boiss., pungens (Bunge) Benth., ispahanica mahanensis Jamzad & Simonds, hormozganica denudata Benth. collected from different habitats in Iran. ploidy levels,...
