Medical plants are adapted to different kinds of dormancy to survive in the worst situations. Regarding to ecological viewpoint, this kind of adaptation is very important in respect to restriction of genetic draft and decrease of genetic resource of medicinal plants. This leads to plant survival even after prolonged drought. Since some of them are endangered species and in the other hand increa...

the aim of the current study was the screening the activity of 23 medicinal plants for decreasing the in vitro ruminal methane production, as well to and assess sheep ruminal in vitro fermentation parameters. 57.3 mg of each medicinal plants along with 142.7 mg control diet were weighted in 120 ml wheatons in 4 replicates. the samples were incubated using ruminal fluid obtained from 3 castrated...

The germination of Ferula ovina seeds faces certain problems. The present research was designed to study the promotion of the germination of Ferula ovina seeds by moist-chilling and GA3 applications. The results showed that Ferula ovina seeds display an endogenous dormancy that can be released by moist-chilling treatment for a certain period. In this respect, the best treatment was moist-chilli...

Faba bean (Vicia faba) production in Mediterranean and Near East agriculture is severely constrained by broomrape infection. The most widely distributed broomrape species affecting faba bean is Orobanche crenata, although O. foetida and Phelipanche aegyptiaca are of local importance. Only moderately resistant cultivars are available to farmers. Rizotrons studies allowed the dissection of resist...

Ferula turcica and latialata are two novel endemic species discovered in the Konya Kırşehir provinces of central Anatolian region Türkiye. These new described by morphological, ecological, carpological, phytochemical characteristics phylogenetic analysis. F. morphologically distinct from szowitsiana their habit, stalk terminal umbella, mericarp size, as well profile secondary metabolite markers...
