Due to the various hazards of using synthetic chemical compounds in pharmaceutics, agriculture, and industry, scientists researchers do their best explore assess new green natural from resources with potent activity. The essential oil (EO) resin collected Araucaria heterophylla Salisb. was extracted by microwave technique chemically characterized via GC-MS analysis. Furthermore, extract EO asse...

Heavy metal(loid) contamination in the environment of mining areas has become an important problem. Cheshemeh-Konan is one of the main copper deposits in NW Iran that is currently abandoned. In the present work, the intensity of some metal(loid) pollutions in the soil of the mining area was assessed using three reliable indices. In addition, the potential of Sonchus oleraceus L., as th...

The occurrence of annulate lamellae (AL) in differentiating phloem of Sonchus oleraceus (Compositae) singly infected with sowthistle yellow vein virus (SYVV) and doubly infected with a combination of SYVV and beet yellow stunt virus is documented by electron microscopy. Cell types in which AL were found were immature sieve elements and phloem parenchyma cells. AL were found only in cells that a...

A two-year field experiment was conducted on potato crop to evaluate the bio-efficacy of herbicides, suitable doses and their feasibility with mechanical weed control method in terms plant height, number tubers relative composition weeds. The arranged a randomized complete block design (RCBD) three replications at vegetable research farm Department Horticulture, Institute Agricultural Sciences,...

The use of highly discriminatory methods for the identification and characterization of genotypes is essential for plant protection and appropriate use. We utilized the RAPD method for the genetic fingerprinting of 11 plant species of desert origin (seven with known medicinal value). Andrachne telephioides, Zilla spinosa, Caylusea hexagyna, Achillea fragrantissima, Lycium shawii, Moricandia sin...
