This article investigates the exomorphic characteristics of the achenes which are achene size, color, and surface pattern, and pappus length, and colour. All these characteristics in seven taxa of Asteraceae namely, C. aggregata Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex DC. subsp. aggregata, C. sivasica Wagenitz, C. polypodiifolia Boiss. var. polypodiifolia, C. polypodiifolia Boiss. var. szowitziana (Boiss.) Wagen...

The highest average value for the ascorbic acid content of freshly harvested vegetables in Olliver's (1954) list is 1 9 mg./g. fresh wt. for parsley (Carum petroselinum); in the Handbook of Biological Data (1956) the highest value is 1-36 for turnip greens (Brassica rapa). Morgan (1942) found 2-8 mg./g. in fresh parsley leaves. We have found the average value for several batches of lucerne (Med...

results the results revealed the formation of spherical silver nanoparticles with an average size of 10 nm. moreover, concentration of snps in a 25 ml sample containing both snps and plant extract biomass was 2.934 mg/l on average. serial microdilution test showed that snps at the concentration of 50 μg/ml can inhibit growth of the pathogen. conclusions the present study extends the existing li...
