A successful means of in vitro propagation of Streptocarpus rexii Lindl. using leaf tissue as the explants is described. Secondary explants were placed on several regeneration media supplemented with various concentrations of indole-acetic acid (IAA) and benzyladenine (BA). Optimal shoot proliferation was obtained on Murashige and Skoog basal media containing 0.1 mg/L IAA in combination with 0....

OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus manifests itself in a wide variety of complications and the symptoms of this disease are multifactorial. Previous studies proved that this disease is directly related to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Prangos frulacea (L.) Lindl in alloxan-induced diab...

Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes severe disease symptoms in pigs and humans. Syringa oblata Lindl. distributed in the middle latitudes of Eurasia and North America were proved as the most development potential of Chinese Medicine. In this study, biofilm formation by S. suis decreased after growth with 1/2 MIC, 1/4 MIC, or 1/8 MIC of Syringa oblata Lindl. aqueous e...

Background The present study was conducted on the effect of prangos ferulacea vaginal cream on accelerating the recovery of bacterial vaginosis. Methods This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 100 non-pregnant women referring to health centers affiliated to Lorestan University of Medical Sciences in 2016 with the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on the patient's compl...

A soil-active herbicide (hexazinone) was applied (0, 2, and 4 kg/ha of active ingredient) in a 3-year-old regenerating boreal Populus tremuloides Michx. (aspen) clearcut to determine its effect on the compositional and structural development of the vegetation. Woody stem densities and plant foliar cover were evaluated prior to and 2, 6, and 17 years after treatment. Herbicide treatment at the 2...

prangos ferulacea (apiaceae) is a perennial herb with a distribution from east europe to middle east and central asia. the plant’s leaves are used as animal fodder. its fruits and roots possess biological traits that provide it with the potential to be used for medicinal purposes. the essential oils obtained through hydrodistillation from aerial parts of prangos ferulacea at the vegetative and ...

In this study, an analysis has been performed for free convection with radiation effect over a thermal forming nonlinearly stretching sheet. Parameters n, k0, Pr, G represent the dominance of the nonlinearly effect, radiation effect, heat transfer and free convection effects which have been presented in governing equations, respectively. The similarity transformation and the finite-difference m...
