This article investigates the exomorphic characteristics of the achenes which are achene size, color, and surface pattern, and pappus length, and colour. All these characteristics in seven taxa of Asteraceae namely, C. aggregata Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex DC. subsp. aggregata, C. sivasica Wagenitz, C. polypodiifolia Boiss. var. polypodiifolia, C. polypodiifolia Boiss. var. szowitziana (Boiss.) Wagen...

PURPOSE The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of in vitro anticancer and cytotoxic activity of the methanolic extracts of 14 medicinal plants, 8 of which are endemic species in Anatolia, against the human HeLa cervical cancer cell line and to compare to the normal African green monkey kidney epithelial cell line (Vero) using the MTT colorimetric assay. METHODS Values for cytotoxicit...

the mineral contents of centaura leave and seeds were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (icp-aes). macro element concentrations (p, k, ca, mg and s) of samples were found at high levels. k was established at high level in both leave and seed samples of centaurea. while k contents of leaves changes between 7254.10 mg/kg (centaurea lycaonica) and 26396.36 mg/kg...

Five species of eriophyoid mites were identified during surveys of mite fauna associated with plant species of the family Compositae from Southwest of East Azerbaijan province during 2010 and 2011. Two of them, Aceria virgatae n. sp. from Centaurea virgata Lam. and Aceria xeranthenzis n. sp. from Xeranthemumn squarrosum Boiss., were found to be new to science. No damage symptoms were observed o...
