Effective bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) monitors have been actively sought in the past few years to help detect bed bugs and measure the effectiveness of treatments. Most of the available active monitors are either expensive or ineffective. We designed a simple and affordable active bed bug monitor that uses sugar-yeast fermentation and an experimental chemical lure to detect bed bugs. The sug...

spearmint (mentha spicata l.) is one of the most important mint family plants that has numerous applications in food, cosmetical, and pharmaceutical industries due to its valuable medicinal properties. in this research, the change in plant fresh and leaf dry weights, essential oil content, yield and composition during year as randomized complete block design with twelve treatments and three rep...

medicinal plants have high importance in medicine and pharmacogonosy because of their secondary metabolites. essential oils, antioxidants and flavonoids are the major compounds of many medicinal plants. these compounds especially antioxidants can increase oxidation of dna in response to wounds. nowadays, progresses in biotechnology such as molecular markers were used for phylogenetic relationsh...

Background & Aim: Lamiaceae is one of the most important families of plants with global transmittal. The family is divided to two major groups: Lamioideae and Nepetoideae. Mentha L. genus has high genetic variation because of different ploidy levels and interspecific interspecific hybridization thus that is possible to select genotypes with excelsior traits as essence content. The genu...

grape, like other horticultural products due to high humidity, low relative ph and wealth of nutrients, is subjected to attack by pathogenic fungi during the harvest and storage stages. in this study, at first, the some post-harvest pathogenic fungi of grape were isolated in meshgin-shahr and two fungal species including botrytis cinerea and cladosporium cladosporioides were identified as the d...
