The morphological specifications play a substantial role in classification and breeding programs of various plant taxa. In the current study, some macro- and micro-morphological features of Salvia nemorosa, Salvia syriaca, Salvia frigida and Salvia virgata (three accessions), were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and image analysis program. The completely randomized design (CRD) ...

The genus Salvia is a valuable origin of structurally diverse terpenoids. In a project directed at structurally interesting bioactive metabolites from Iranian Salvia species, we studied Salvia reuterana. Two new labdane diterpene, 6β,14α-dihydroxy-15-acetoxysclareol (1), and 14α,15- dihydroxy sclareol (2), were isolated from the aerial part of the plant. Their structures were established mainly...

The trichomes and chemical composition of three species the genus Salvia wild-grown (Salvia lanigera, spinosa) cultured officinalis) were studied in Anbar governate, components stem leaves by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(GC-MS), addition to studying epidermis (upper lower epidermis) Light microscope. Important differences appeared us study, where it was found that some compounds without...

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) using a laboratory-made system are applied for the extraction of thermally labile components such as tanshinone I and IIA in Salvia miltiorrhiza. PLE and PHWE are carried out dynamically at a flow of 1 mL/min, temperature between 95-140 degrees C, applied pressure of 10-20 bars, and extraction times of 20 and 40 min...

Salvinorin A is the most potent naturally occurring hallucinogen known and rivals synthetic LSD in potency. Structurally it belongs to the neoclerodane diterpenoids, and it is the only known non-nitrogenous kappa-opioid-selective agonist. Salvia divinorum (Diviner's sage) is a member of the mint family that was used in ancient Mexican traditional practices. Today it is widely cultivated in Euro...

Commercial producers of herbaceous ornamentals have reported that long-day plants sometimes flower under short-day conditions when the photosynthetic daily light integral (DLI) is high, but little research-based information available to support phenomenon. We grew seedlings tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora), echinacea (Echinacea × hybrida), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), lobelia (Lobelia spe...

salvia chorassanica bunge is one of the iranian endemic species of salvia. there is not any reported literature on s. chorassanica. this study was designed to examine the in-vitro anti-proliferative and proapoptotic effects of the methanol extract of s. chorassanica and its fractions on hela cell line. cells were cultured in ex-cell®, an animal free medium specially designed for hela cell line ...

objective(s): this study was to investigate the potential anti-diabetic effects of alcoholic extract of salvia hydrangea in rats. materials and methods:thirty five male wistar rats were divided into five groups namely non-diabetic control, diabetic control, and three experimental diabetic that received either salvia hydrangea extract for 21 days at the doses of 100 and 200 or glibenclamide at t...
