The hawthorns Crataegus azarolus L. and monogyna Jacq are two ecologically medicinally important endemic tree species that occur only in forests of oak the mountain ranges Kurdistan region Iraq (KRI). These have been degrading across at an alarming pace due to climate-related factors (e.g., wildfire events drought) anthropogenic drivers. Nevertheless, there is a gap understanding their distribu...

Abstract The method and technology were developed to study the influence of an average diameter, mass rolling friction hawthorn fruits on moisture content during drying process. It was established that smoothed (Crataegus oxyacantha L.) have a large unevenness in diameters 11 mm - 21 weight 1.3 g up 4.2 g. diameter decreases from 16 12.5 with decrease 74.9 14%; coefficient surface working chamb...

eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a complicated condition accompanied with high incidence of infection and dyslipidemia. This study aimed to explore the phyto-constituents of Crataegus azarolus var. eu- azarolus Maire leaves, and to evaluate the therapeutic potentials particularly antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic of the extract and the isolated compound (3β-O-acetyl ursolic aci...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The taxonomic complexity of Crataegus (hawthorn; Rosaceae, Maleae), especially in North America, has been attributed by some to hybridization in combination with gametophytic apomixis and polyploidization, whereas others have considered the roles of hybridization and apomixis to be minimal. Study of the chemical composition and therapeutic value of hawthorn extracts requires...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) as the most economically important vegetable crop worldwide has been investigated intensively for development of new and improved varieties. Most these technologies require efficient protocols in vitro regeneration propagation plant material. In present study, an reproducible system five Romanian tomato genotypes (cvs. ‘Capriciu’, ‘Darsirius’, ‘Kristin’, ‘...
