A crude ethanolic extract of Cupressus lusitanica Mill. leaves demonstrate cytotoxicity in a panel of cancer cell lines. Cell death was due to apoptosis, as assessed by morphologic features (chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies formation) and specific DNA fragmentation detected by in situ end-labeling of DNA breaks (TUNEL). The apoptotic cell death was induced timely in a dose-dependent ...

This study investigates the leaf anatomy of five Cupressaceae taxa in Kurdistan region-Iraq. Using light microscope for numerical and descriptive anatomical variations three species two varieties belonging to Cupressus, Platycladus, Juniperus genera were examined Taxonomic value.
