Ferula turcica and latialata are two novel endemic species discovered in the Konya Kırşehir provinces of central Anatolian region Türkiye. These new described by morphological, ecological, carpological, phytochemical characteristics phylogenetic analysis. F. morphologically distinct from szowitsiana their habit, stalk terminal umbella, mericarp size, as well profile secondary metabolite markers...

Initial attempts to grow N2-fixing Derxia gummosa autotrophically on H2, C 0 2 , O2 and N2 in a closed system yielded variable results. Poor growth was found to be due to rapid O2 depletion and the requirement for an agar surface. In a closed system, C2H2 reduction assays could not be carried out due to complete consumption of H2. Hence a flow-through culturing technique was developed to supply...

Background and objectives: Interaction of compounds with ct-DNA can affect the replication, protein synthesis and cell division. Different species of the genus Ferula (Apiaceae) have shown various biomedical applications for many centuries. Biological features of this genus such as cytotoxicity, antibacterial, antiviral, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitory and antiinflamm...

The aim of this study was to compare chemical composition, relative feed values, and in vitro true digestibility the giant fennel (Ferula communicus L. -F), helis (Prangos ferulacea -H), gum- tragacanth (Astragalus microcephalus WILD. -G) leaves oak tree (Quercus robur -O), a naturally growing plant on high- altitude plateaus Eastern Anatolia, with those alfalfa. In digestibilities (IVTD) rough...

There is growing concern about food safety and especially about inputs of pathogenic microorganisms with possible implications for human health and the environment [Duniere et al., 2011]. Microbial activity is a primary mode of deterioration of many foods and is often responsible for the loss of quality and safety. Concern over pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in foods is increasing due t...
