The radioprotective effect of Achillea millefolium L (ACM) extract was investigated against genotoxicity induced by ionizing radiation (IR) in human lymphocytes. Peripheral blood samples were collected from human volunteers and incubated with the methanolic extract of ACM at different concentrations (10, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) for 2 hours. At each dose point, the whole blood was exposed in vit...

fifteen yarrow populations from different species achillea millefolium l., a. biebersteinii l. and a. nobilis, from different geographical areas of iran were studied using 24 morphological traits and peroxidase profiles. comparison of mean values of different phenotypic traits show a. millefolium and a. biebersteinii l. had higher plant height and crown diameter; however, a. nobilis had higher ...

Silver nanoparticles display unique physical and biological properties which have attracted intensive research interest because of their important medical applications. In this study silver nanoparticles (Ab.Ag-NPs) were synthesized for biomedical applications using a completely green biosynthetic method using Achillea biebersteinii flowers extract. The structure and properties of Ab.Ag-NPs wer...

The effects of different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of aqueous leachate of Achillea biebersteinii on germination characteristics, seedling growth, photosynthetic pigments and protein contents of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were investigated through conducting laboratory and greenhouse experiments. Leachate of A. biebersteinii affected negatively germination percentage, germination ...

Today, natural colorants are emerging globally due to the fact that they are safer and more environmentally-friendly. Natural dyes have been employed in dyeing Persian carpet piles for many years. In this study, the dried Achillea was used for dyeing wool yarns. The Iranian wool yarn was scoured, mordanted using Cu, Sn, Al salts and then dyed with different amounts of dried Achillea powder. Tag...
