Gypsophila with approximately 150 speciesrepresents the fourth largest genus of Caryophyllaceae and the second genus of tribe Caryophylleae. Iran is the second main center of Gypsophila diversity with 38 species in the world. Considering Gypsophila as one of the most polymorphic genus of the family andalmost half of its taxa distributed in Iran as endemic, thus makes it as a significant genus f...

Gypsophila L. is the 3rd-largest genus of Caryophyllaceae in Turkey, a country that includes 60 taxa belonging to 56 species of the 126 recognized in the genus. A total of 35 taxa are endemic to Turkey, with an approximately 60% endemism ratio. In this study, the genetic diversity of 14 Gypsophila species from Turkey was analyzed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-si...

Endüstriyel alanda yaygın olarak kullanılan boyar maddeler su kirliliğine sebep olmaktadır. Kirliliğin giderilmesi çevre ve canlılar için önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, anyonik bir madde olan zararlı etkileri bulunan alizarin sarısı GG (AS) giderimi adsorpsiyon yöntemi ile Gypsophila arrostii var nebulosa (GAVN) bitkisinin köklerinden elde edilen biyokömür kullanılmıştır. Elde sonuçlarda işlem...

Six new cyclic peptides, gypsophin A-F (1-6), were isolated from Gypsophila oldhamiana. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and chemical degradation. Compound 3 exhibited moderate activity of antiplatelet aggregation in vitro.

It is shown that the concept of the Iranian endemic Lactuca polyclada in the sense of both its original author Boissier and its current use actually admixes two entirely different species, as was first noted by Beauverd a hundred years ago but has been neglected by later workers. One is a putative relative of Lactuca rosularis, the other was recognised by Beauverd as a member of the genus Cicer...

The respiration of cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) increased exponentially with increasing respiration, with a Q10 value between 0 and 10°C of 3 for both flowers. The vase life of the flowers was negatively affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures whereas dry storage for 5 days at 0°C resulted in a vase li...

Brassinosteroids are a class of naturally occur­ ring phytohormones with high biological activity found in a wide variety of higher plants (Adam and Petzold, 1994; Adam et al., 1996; Cutler et al., 1991; Sakurai and Fujioka, 1993). Brassinosteroids occur only in trace amount (ngto ^ig/kg plant material). Therefore, their purification has to be monitored by a sensitive bioassay (Wada et al., 198...
