INTRODUCTION Dorema glabrum (Apiaceae) is a rare and monocarpic species distributed in Transcaucasia and North West of Iran. We aimed to explore anti-cancer potency of bioactive compounds from the seeds of Dorma glabrum. METHODS Methanol extract was subjected to phytochemical investigation using normal phase Sep-pak and reversed-phase HPLC, and cytotoxic effect of isolated compounds on CAOV-4...

thegenus achillea is one of the most important medicinal plants in the asteraceae family. nineteen species of this genus have been described in the flora iranica, of which achillea aucheri boiss is an endemic species to iran. given the effect of geographic location on the quality and yield of essential oil, we performed an investigation to determine oil contents of a. aucheri growing at differe...

the genus onobrychis is an important forage crop consisting of approximately 130 annual and perennial species. in this study, 13 populations of five onobrychis species were analyzed. the basic chromosome number varied from x=7 to x=8. according to stebbins’ classification, populations such as o. aucheri subsp. psammophila, o. crista-galli (1) and o. crista-galli (2) were classified in symmetric...

Reseda is an understudied genus regarding germination ecology. We studied the response of eight perennial species to fire related cues by performing a experiment including two aqueous smoke treatments (at 1:5 and 1:20 concentrations), one heat shock (100 °C for 5 min.) treatment, corresponding controls. Smoke slightly decreased percentage in R. aucheri ssp. rotundifolia minoica, reduction luteo...
