Verbascum × aytachii nothosp. nov. H. Duman & Uzunh. (sect. Bothrospermae) is described and illustrated as a new natural hybrid from the Orhaneli (Bursa Region) area in Western Anatolia, Turkey. This species identified to have some intermediate morphological palynological characteristics that place it between parents which are V. ekicii basivelatum. A comprehensive description, ecology, distrib...

Ongoing changes in Earth's climate are shifting the elevation ranges of many plant species with non-native species often experiencing greater expansion into higher elevations than native species. These climate change-induced shifts in distributions inevitably expose plants to novel biotic and abiotic environments, including altered solar ultraviolet (UV)-B (280-315 nm) radiation regimes. Do the...

A research project dealing with the phytoremediation of a soil polluted by some heavy metals is currently running. The case study is represented by a mining area in Hamedan province in the central west part of Iran. The potential of phytoextraction and phytostabilization of plants was evaluated considering the concentration of heavy metals in the plant tissues and also the bioconcentration fact...

the present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant and antifungal effects ofmethanol extract from aerial part of verbascum speciosum. the total phenolic andflavonoid content and the antioxidant activity of the plant extract were determined byusing the folin-ciocalteau and the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) free radicalscavenging assays. the total phenols and flavonoid content o...

the genus verbascum l. belongs to the family scrophulariaceae and includes plants that have been used widely in traditional medicine for a long time. methanolic extracts of three verbascum species from flora of iran were in vitro screened for their possible antioxidant activities by three complementary test systems, namely dpph free radical-scavenging, metal chelating activity and β-carotene/li...

The valleys of Restelica and Vraca in Kosovo have not been explored sufficiently due to their geographical position the harshness terrain. plant species Ranunculus degenii has collected Restelica, on way border with North Macedonia or between this road Albanian near Shishtavec, while Verbascum scardicola found valley. These localities are mainly dominated by silicate substrate, although presenc...
