The genus Hyoscyamus belongs to the tribe Hyoscyameae Miers of Solanaceae family. Variation in protein bands elaborates the relationship among the collections from various geographical regions. In this study the seed storage protein diversity of 19 accessions of Hyoscyamus (H. niger, H. reticulatus and  H. pusillus) from West Azerbaijan (Iran) was investigate...

numerical taxonomy and seed storage protein analysis of hyoscyamus species of iran was carried out with the aim to illustrate species inter-relationship and to check the sub-generic taxonomic treatment proposed for the genus. cluster analysis of morphological and protein data grouped the species in three separate clusters which supports the relationships of h. niger with h. reticulatus and h. k...

background: plants infection with microorganisms as well as physical factors such as osmotic stresses especially drought stress induced particular secondary metabolite production. objective: plant root and shoot hyoscyamine (hyo) and scopolamine (sco) variations were investigated under three water deficit stress (wds) levels as 30 (w1), 60 (w2) and 90 % (w3) water depletion of field capacity an...

This study describes the spasmolytic, antidiarrhoeal, antisecretory, bronchodilatory and urinary bladder relaxant properties of Hyoscyamus niger to rationalize some of its medicinal uses. The crude extract of H. niger seeds (Hn.Cr) caused a complete concentration-dependent relaxation of spontaneous contractions of rabbit jejunum, similar to that caused by verapamil, whereas atropine produced pa...
