Investigations on procyanidin profile on Bulgarian Crataegus oxycantha fruits extract has been carried out by different analytical approaches based on chromatographic methods. We retained of interest to test the validity of direct infusion of Crataegus extract in ESI conditions to achieve an immediate fingerprinting of the procyanidins therein contained. The results are compared with those obta...

An agamic complex of 20- and 10-stamen, black-fruited hawthorns (Crataegus subg. Sanguineae, sect. Douglasianae) occurs in western North America, with a 10-stamen taxon disjunct the upper Great Lakes basin. Here, we recircumscribe 20-stamen taxa at core this (C. ser. Douglasianae). This is needed order to distinguish between presumptively ancestral diploid its allo- autopolyploid derivatives, a...

Field surveys in Zagros forests located in western Iran were done to study some aspects of biology and host range of Biscogniauxia mediterranea during 2014-2016. The ability of its conidia and ascospores to cause the disease was evaluated under greenhouse condition. Ascospore viability and development of anamorph and teleomorph were surveyed under different conditions. The pathogen host range w...

OBJECTIVE Cyclosporine (Cs), a cyclic undecapeptide with potent immuno suppressive activity, causes several adverse effects including reproductive toxicity. This study aims to examine the ability of Crataegus monogyna aqueous fruit extract as an antioxidant to protect against Cs-induced reproductive toxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, 32 adult male Wistar rats were div...
