endophytes are important resources of bioactive compounds and due to their potential in theproduction of secondary metabolites, they are regarded as a potential reservoir ofbiotechnological applications. in this study, the bioactivity of bacteria and yeasts endophytesresiding in thymus sp. was evaluated. during april to october 2011, symptomless and healthytissues of thymus sp. were collected. ...

thymus is a medicinal plant which contains one of the world's top ten essential oils, exhibiting antibacterial, antioxidative, food preservative and mammalian age-delaying properties. this work was aimed at identifying between-species variations requiring for selecting appropriate parents for hybridization. six iranian endemic thymus accessions belonging to thymus daënensis, t. eriocalyx and t....

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are widely used in Alzheimer’s treatment, but they also crucial for their action on organophosphorus insecticides. The latter exert toxicity by inhibiting the AChE enzyme insects, leading to death. Amaryllidaceae alkaloids have been proven be potent inhibitors. In present study methanolic extracts and essential oils being obtained from species of Asteracea...
