Chorological contributions for some local endemic plant taxa in Turkey

Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Two Endemic Allium L . Taxa from Turkey

In this study, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of various solvent extracts (methanol, ethanol, acetone and petroleum benzine) obtained from bulbs and leaves of Allium deciduum subsp. deciduum and subsp. retrorsum were investigated. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined by DPPH radical scavenging and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays. In addition, total phenolic contents in ...

NEW TAXA AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TAXONOMY OF ALLIUM L. (ALLIACEAE) IN IRAN

The type plant of Allium akaka S.G. Gmelin ex Roem. & Schult. was probably collected in the mountains west of Bandar Anzali. Here plants fitting the original description are extant, and one was selected as epitype. This taxon in the strict sense is not conspecific with A. latifolium Jaub. & Spach, and is morphologically well separable from topo-typical plants of A. haemanthoides Boiss. & Reut. ...

Contributions of vulnerable hydrogeomorphic habitats to endemic plant diversity on the Kas Plateau, Western Ghats

BACKGROUND The Western Ghats of India are known to be a major biological hotspot that supports plant diversity and endemism. On the Kas Plateau, a lateritic plateau of the northern Western Ghats, we examined mesoscale distributions of endemic, rare, or locally significant plant species in forest habitats or on the plateau and its escarpments, and assessed the edaphic and hydrological parameters...

Pollen morphological study of some plant taxa from Arambagh region of Hooghly District, West Bengal, India

Antimicrobial Activity of Five Endemic Asperula Species from Turkey

In this study, methanol and ether extracts of five endemic Asperula species (Rubiaceae) from Turkey (A. antalyensis, A. brevifolia, A. pseudochlorantha, A. purpurea subsp. apiculata and A. serotina), used in the traditional system of medicine, were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar well diffusion method and the broth dilution method. The most active species were Asperula brevifolia ...
