Here, we report the 7.4-Mb draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. strain GM2FR, an endophytic bacterium isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Genome analysis revealed 6,652 coding gene sequences and several gene clusters involved in plant growth promotion, such as that for the siderophore bacillibactin.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol as an anti-gibberellin on some morpho-physiological characteristics of Petunia × grandiflora ‘Bravo Blue’, and determine the optimum concentration of paclobutrazol for drought resistance in this plant. The experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse. T...

Toddalia asiatica var. gracilis (L) Lam is a commonly used medicinal plant in Indian system of Medicine. A detailed pharmacognostic study on the aerial parts of the medicinal plant is presented. Physico-chemical microscopical and fluorescent characteristics have been described. Qualitative phytochemical tests have also been carried out and the results presented.

Pseudomonas putida GM4FR is an endophytic bacterium isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Functional annotation of the draft genome (7.1 Mb) revealed 6,272 predicted protein-encoding genes. The genome provides insights into the biocontrol and plant growth-promoting potential of P. putida GM4FR.

  Background: Borage (Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant with a high content of gamma linolenic acid. It has an important place in Iranian traditional medicine. Although the aerial parts of this plant are extensively used in treatment of diseases, detailed knowledge of the active constituent changes in these parts is not readily available. In addition the most data that has be...

Paenibacillus amylolyticus strain GM1FR is an endophyte isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Here, we report the draft genome sequence (7.3 Mb) of GM1FR containing 6,241 protein-coding genes, some of which are potentially involved in plant growth promotion and biocontrol.

The relationshipbetween secondary metabolites content and antioxidant activity was studied in aerial parts of Nasturtium officinale R. Br., at various altitudes and periods of growth in north of Iran. Total phenolics (TP), and total flavonoids (TF) contentsin aerial parts of the plantwere investigated spectrophotometrically and their antioxidant activitieswere obtained byTotal Antioxidant Capac...

yarrow (achillea spp.) belonging to the family of asteraceae with useful properties, such as anti-diaphoretic, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-inflammation, anti-biotic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, carminative and anti-oxidant effects. the present investigation assessed the morphological diversity of achillea aucheri, which is indigenous plant from damavand mountain of iran. the samples were collected ...
