rosa damascena has been traditionally used as an herbal medicine for different therapeutic purposes. inorder to preliminarily study the probable toxic effects of the plant, its infusion was orally administered to 5groups of 5 dogs at doses 0.5-8 times that of human use in traditional medicine (90-1440 mg/kg/d) for 10successive days. the dogs in the control group (n=4) received placebo. serum le...

For centuries, Damask rose has been one of the most popular species of the rose family. Damask rose can be propagated using vegetative methods such as micropropagation. In this research, the use of temporary immersion system was reported for the first time for Damask rose micropropagation. For this reason, a traditional temporary immersion system was designed to facilitate its micropropagation....

damask rose (rosa damascena mill.) has high economic importance and commercial value. the plant essential oil is used for perfumery, food and medicinal industries. it is necessary to know much about seed germination for study of genetic variation and breeding improved varieties of r. damascena. in this study seed germination of r. damascena were evaluated, using thermal period treatments. the d...

scented rose species are very important in the genus rosa due to their use in highly-prized essential oil production and as garden roses. the fragrance of the rose flower (attar) captured by extraction is one of the most valuable flavor and fragrance products. a comprehensive study of the papers published in the field of in vitro culture and biotechnology of these species, particularly damask r...

Background: Damask roses (Rosa damascena Mill.) are mainly used for essential oil production. Previous studies have indicated that all production material in Bulgaria and Turkey consists of only one genotype. Nine polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 40 accessions of R. damascena collected across major and minor rose oil production areas in Iran. Resu...
