Introduction: Rosa Damasca essential oil is currently used as anti-depressant in animal models and human. Considering the similarities between Rosa Canina and Rosa Damasca, the effects of water and alcoholic extracts of R. Canina on depression induced by forced swimming test (FST) in mice were investigated. Methods: Male NMRI mice (25-30 g) were used (n=6/group). Intraperitoneal injections o...

The in vitro antiproliferative and antioxidant effects of different fractions of Rosa canina hips on human colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2) was studied. The compounds tested were total extract (fraction 1), vitamin C (fraction 2), neutral polyphenols (fraction 3) and acidic polyphenols (fraction 4). All the extracts showed high cytotoxicity after 72 h, both low and high concentrations. The flow...

Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as Rosa hybrid and Rosa floribunda. In vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and d...

dog rose (rosa canina l.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as rosa hybrid and rosa floribunda. in vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation of rosa canina l. was revised, usin...

AuNPs have been in the focal point of researchers’ attention for years because of high biocompatibility and adjustable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) [1]. In the recent years, many studies have been performed in producing AuNPs via green synthesis techniques, i.e. use of plants for producing AuNPs [2]. Green synthesis methods are eco-friendly and increase the biocompatibility of AuNPs [3]. A f...
