Karyotype study was performed across 7 populations of 4 Rubus species growing in Iran. The results showed that the chromosome numbers of R. sanctus (2n=2x=14) diploid, R. caesius, and R. discolor were (2n=4x=28) tetraploids, R. persicus (2n=8x=56) octoploid. The chromosome numbers of R. discolor, and R. persicus were reported here for the first time. Karyotypic formula also varied between the s...

Climate change is expected to have an impact on the geographical distribution ranges of species. Endemic species and those with a restricted geographic range may be especially vulnerable. The Persian jird (Meriones persicus) endemic rodent inhabiting mountainous areas Irano-Turanian region, where future desertification form threat In this study, modelling algorithm MaxEnt was used assess climat...

Extract of Echinops persicus is traditionally used for a long time in Iran for treatment of cough and constipation. This extract is produced by activity of bug (Situphilus spp.) on the plant. We documented its anti-tussive effect in rats in our previous study. The aim of this study was to assess the anti-ulcer effect of Echinops persicus in an animal model. In this study we evaluated anti-ulcer...

evaluating the in vitro antifungal activity of phlomis lanceolata, rhynchocorys elephas, otostegia persica and eremurus persicus, four species used in iranian traditional medicine, has been performed on the clinical isolates of the pathogenic fungi aspergillus fumigatus, a. flavus, trichophyton mentagrophytes, t. rubrum, t. verrucosum, microsporum canis, m. gypseum and epidermophyton floccosum ...
