The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of eight species the genus Allium distributed in Turkey were analyzed. These taxa are A. armerioides Boiss., orientale stamineum tuncelianum (Kollmann) Özhatay, B.Mathew & Şiraneci, subakaka Razyfard Zarre, muratozelii Armağan, dumanii Koyuncu Koçyiğit colchicifolium Boiss. Four them (A. armerioides, tuncelianum, dumanii) endemic Turkey. all studied determi...

A new combination in the rank of subspecies, Campanula tridentata Schreb. subsp. ruprechtii (Boiss.) Ogan., distributed Armenia, Nakhchivan Republic and Iran is published. The lectotype name designated.

      The effect of aqueous extract of Nepata glomerulosa Boiss. aerial parts on morphine withdrawal syndrome was investigated in mice. Dependence was induced by subcutaneous injections of morphine for 3 consecutive days. On day 4, morphine was injected 2 h prior to intraperitoneal injection of naloxone. The number of jumps during a 20 min. period after naloxone injection was considere...

ABSTRACT Background Olfactory communication in cats is of major importance. It is rather complex and includes pheromone-driven and classical odour-based communication. Cats use various marking behaviours to transmit pheromone signals: appeasing markings that have a calming effect and alarm markings that can exacerbate stress. On the other hand, classical odours could possibly complete, modify, ...

New data on 10 adventive plant species are given. Two and one subspecies (Atriplex hortensis, Solanum nigrum subsp. schultesii, Nepeta cataria) new for the Republic of Buryatia. Five two interspecies hybrids (Arctium × mixtum, Galinsoga parviflora, Hesperis pycnotricha, Lactuca serriola, Medicago varia, Onobrychis viciifolia, Viola tricolor) recorded first time in Ulan-Ude city its neighborhood.

Piperazirum, isolated from Arum palaestinum Boiss, was originally assigned as r-3,c-5-diisobutyl-c-6-isopropylpiperazin-2-one. The reported structure was synthesised diastereoselectively using a key nitro-Mannich reaction to set up the C5/C6 relative stereochemistry. The structure was unambiguously assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction but the spectroscopic data did not match those repor...
