Meiotic Studies on Some Iranian Centaurea (Compositae).

MEIOTIC STUDIES OF SOME AVENA SPECIES AND POPULATIONS IN IRAN

Eleven populations of five Avena species were analysed for meiotic characters including chiasma frequency and distribution as well as chromosomal association and segregation. Plants of a single population of A. eriantha showed the presence of 2n = 14 (diploid) and 2n = 4x = 28 chromosome number. Populations of A. barbata and A. wiestii possessed n = 14, while populations of A. sterilis ssp. lud...

Molecular modeling and docking studies on Compositae biocompounds – cyclodextrin interactions

The paper presents a molecular modeling and docking studies on the interactions between natural αand β-cyclodextrin and the main biocompounds from Compositae family plants. Both vacuum and water periodic box conditions were used for the docking experiments. A comparative study on the formation and stability of complex obtained with non-oxidized/oxidized forms of biocompounds was performed. The ...

CYTOTAXONOMIC STUDIES OF SOME IRANIAN VICIA SPECIES (FABACAEA)

This study concerns the cytotaxonomic investigations on twelve species belonging to three sections from the genus Vicia in Iran. A taxonomic background of the genus is given in brief. The previous counts reported for the genus in Index to plant chromosome number are summarized. In addition to one new count, the chromosome numbers of four species are reported for the first time. Briefly, the ...
