A global revision of Convolvulus L. is presented, Calystegia R.Br. being excluded on pragmatic grounds. One hundred and ninety species are recognised with the greatest diversity in the Irano-Turanian region. All recognised species are described and the majority are illustrated. Distribution details, keys to species identification and taxonomic notes are provided. Four new species, Convolvulusau...

Objectives Tanacetum species are traditionally used as insecticide, and externally wound healer as well as for anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties. The in vivo wound-healing and anti-inflammatory potential of four Tanacetum species, Tanacetum argenteum (Lam.) Willd. subsp. argenteum (TA), Tanacetum heterotomum (Bornm.) Grierson (TH), Tanacetum densum (Lab.) Schultz Bip. subsp. sivas...

fifteen microsatellite markers were employed to evaluate genetic relationships among different iranian species of crocus spp. (c. sativus, c. haussknechtii, c. cancellatus, c. speciosus, and c. caspius) from ten geographical regions (ghaen, gonabad, estahban, ferdows, veresk, reno, ali abad, kali abad, neka, and eslam abad). of these, 12 primers revealed polymorphism among crocus spp. average p...

the chemical composition of the essential oil of fruits of pimpinella haussknechtiiboiss.was studied by gc-ms. after gc-ms analysis, one unknown component (56.7%) was observed, which was not characterized in the gc-ms library. the essential oil of p.hauskenekhtii was injected to hplc using ymc-pak-sil column (250 × 20 mm) with gradient system of hexane (a), and hexane: ethyl acetate, 9:1 (b) to...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the tropane alkaloid content of four hyoscyamus species from iran, i.e. h. pusillus l., h. niger l., h. reticulatus l. and h. kurdicus bornm. determination of alkaloids was performed by the hplc method. samples were extracted with chloroform-methanol-25% ammonium hydroxide 15:5:1 (v/v/v). hplc separation was performed on eurospher c18 reversed p...
