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...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different doses of salvia mirzayanii essential oils on gas production parameters, fermentation characteristics using gas production and dual flow continuous culture system. trearments in the gas production experiment was adding 0, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2400 and 4800 mg/l of salvia mirzayanii essential oils to the media. in the second ...

eight salvia l. species including s. spinosa l., s. reuterana boiss., s. macrosiphon boiss., s. syriaca l., s. nemorosa l., s. virgata jacq., s. sharifii rech. f. & esfand. and s. mirzayanii rech. f. & esfand. were studied for flavonoid compounds. these constituents were analyzed using two-dimensional maps on silica gel 60f thin layer chromatography. the flavonoid compounds of each spec...

In this study, SRAP molecular maker approach was performed to investigate genetic diversity in the Salvia genus. A total of 205 DNA bands were produced from PCR amplification of 11 Salvia species and populations using 25 selective primer combinations, of which 204 polymorphic genetic loci accounted. The total number of amplified fragments ranged from 3 to 15. The genetic similarities of 11 coll...
