Abstract:

Suaeda iranshahrii Akhani & Freitag, previous specimens cited as S. maritima,is described as a new species of sect. Brezia endemic to the coasts of the Persian Gulf; it is subdivided into the type variety distributed along the Persian side and var. arabica Freitag from the Arabian shore. The new species is named in honour of Dr. Musa Iranshahr, the eminent Iranian botanist to whom this Festschrift is dedicated on the occasion of his 90th birthday. The species is an important component of plant communities on tidal mudflats. Molecular, anatomical and caryological evidence pointed to S. crassifolia as the closest relative and putative progenitor.

COMPARISON OF SEED PROTEINS ELECTROPHORESIS OF EIGHT SPECIES OF THE GENUS SUAEDA (CHENOPODIACEAE) IN IRAN

Seed proteins of eight species of the genus Suaeda (Chenopodiaceae) were compared by means of polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Different samples of the same species showed not less than 89% similarities, and geographical separation had no remarkable effect on seed protein patterns of the same species. Morphological heterogenity, that creates difficulties in infrageneric classificat...

STUDIES ON THE CARYOLOGY OF SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS SUAEDA (CHENOPODIACEAE) IN IRAN

Caryological studies were carried out on ten species of the genus Suaeda belonging to 27 samples of different populations in Iran. Important chromosome features including numbers, lengths, centromere locations and caryotypes were studied. All the species have basic chromosome numbers of x=9. Chromosome counts of S. acuminata (C.A.Mey.) Moq. (2n=18), S. aegyptiaca (Hasselq.) Zoh., (2n=l8)...

The Anti-melanogenesis Activities of Some Selected Red Macroalgae from Northern Coasts of the Persian Gulf

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin production. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors are used in cosmetic and medicinal industries to prevent or treat overproduction of melanin such as melasma, solar lentigo and post inflammatory melanoderma. Due to safety of natural whitening agents, in the present study, in-vitro anti-tyrosinase and in-vivo anti-melanogenesis activities of some selected red mac...
