In a project on the Flora of Iran (Trib.: Ranunculeae), many herbarium specimens of thegenus Ranunculus were studied. The results of this study are a new record and suggestion of a synonym for the Flora of Iran, specimens of which are preserved in the herbarium of Research Institute of Forest & Rangelands (TARI). 

Ten new alkaloids, lycoposerramines-F (1), -G (2), -H (3), -I (4), -J (5), -K (6), -L (7), -M (8), -N (9), and -O (10), having lycopodine-related structures, were isolated from the club moss Lycopodium serratum THUNB. and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and/or chemical transformation.

Genome evolution in asexual organisms is theoretically expected to be shaped by various factors: first, hybrid origin, and polyploidy confer a genomic constitution of highly heterozygous genotypes with multiple copies of genes; second, asexuality confers a lack of recombination and variation in populations, which reduces the efficiency of selection against deleterious mutations; hence, the accu...

Ilex x wandoensis and M. Kim hybrid nov. (IW) is a new variety formed through the natural hybridization of Ilex. cornuta Thunb Iles. integra Thunb. It was first discovered on Wando Island, Korea. IW has not been studied to date; we investigated industrial application potential leaf for time. We prepared hot water solvent extracts tested biological activity. extract confirmed have antioxidant an...

objective(s):pharmacological studies showed that the extracts of jin yin hua and its active constituents have lipid lowering, antipyretic, hepatoprotective, cytoprotective, antimicrobial, antibiotic, antioxidative, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of caffeoylquinic acids (cqas) from jin yin hua against hydrogen ...

Microsatellites are widely used in genetic and evolutionary analyses, but their own evolution is far from simple. The mechanisms maintaining the mutational patterns of simple repeats and the typical stable allele-frequency distributions are still poorly understood. Asexual lineages may provide particularly informative models for the indirect study of microsatellite evolution, because their geno...
