To be extended as 1648000 Km2, Iran has a widely varied climate; it is a habitat for very different plant species. Nearly 190 families of vascular plants are found in this country, totally containing 8500- 9500 species, the endemic plants being relatively numerous. Considering the inevitable importance of plants identification, a complete index of the endemic species of Phanerogams in Iran is l...

Based on a great number of literatures, we established the database about the Chinese endemic seed plants and analyzed the compositions, growth form, distribution and angiosperm original families of them within three big natural areas and seven natural regions. The results indicate that the above characters of Chinese endemic plants take on relative rule at the different geographical scales. Am...

Background & Aim: Secondary metabolites with bioactive and functional properties in essence of aromatic plants can be useful for improvement of quality and persistence of food as natural preservative.  The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial of essential oils of some of the medicinal plants collected from Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Experimental: ...

Background and Purpose: Pollen can, as a means of genetic resource, contribute to conservation of endemic plants. Therefore we started with palynological study of endemic plants from refuges of the Alpine-Dinaric region and here present preliminary results on pollen morphology of two most famous representatives of Croatian endemic plants from Velebit Mts, Degenia velebitica and Sibiraea altaien...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Insufficient pollination is a function of quantity and quality of pollen receipt, and the relative contribution of each to pollen limitation may vary with intrinsic plant traits and extrinsic ecological properties. Community-level studies are essential to evaluate variation across species in quality limitation under common ecological conditions. This study examined whether e...
