the species heracleum rawianum belongs to apiaceae, is one of the native species in iran. the leaves and fruits of heracleum rawianium are used traditionally in iran as flavouring agent and spice for food. in the present work, the extraction of aerial parts of this plant with acetone by maceration is described. our phytochemical analysis of the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of this pla...

objective: apiaceae (umbelliferae) family is one of the biggest plant families on the earth. iran has  a huge diversity of apiaceae members . this family possesses a range of compounds that have many biological activities. the members of this family are well known as vegetables, culinary and medicinal plants. here, we present a review of ethnobotanical uses of apiaceae plants by the iranian peo...

In recent years, a few established populations of Selinum alatum have been found in the Eastern Carpathians outside its native range that is the Caucasus and the Armenian Highlands. The species is spreading predominantly in Poland where it can outcompete native plants in certain cases. This study addresses a potential climatic niche of the plant with the special aims to illuminate future spread...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the chemical composition and effectiveness of the essential oil isolated from Echinophora spinosa on different bacterial and fungal species. Chemical analysis (GC/MS) showed that δ3-carene (60,86 %), α-phellandrene (7,12%), p-cymene (6,22 %), myrcene (4,82 %) and β-phellandrene (2,73 %) were dominant components in this oil. Essential oil tested sh...

The absolute configuration and structure of aegelinol, a pyranocoumarin isolated from Ferulago asparagifolia Boiss (Apiaceae), has been determined by crystallography. Crystal structure of the inclusion complex of aegelinol in β-cyclodextrin was determined (a = 15.404(1) Å, b = 15.281(1) Å, c = 17.890(1) Å, α = 99.662(1), β = 113.4230(1), γ = 102.481(1)°, P1; R1 = 6.71%) and allowed unambiguous ...

Some interesting Bupleurum (Apiaceae) specimens with very branched stems, (1–)2-rayed inflorescences and ivory-white bracteoles were collected from Tepebaşı District (Eskişehir Province). The specimes, at first glance, resembled the pendikum (sect. Aristata) species, which is endemic in Türkiye, as a habit. However, result of detailed examination, it was determined that there some differences. ...

Azorella compacta (llareta; Apiaceae) forms dense, woody, cushions and characterizes the high elevation rocky slopes of the central Andean Altiplano. Field studies of an elevational gradient of A. compacta within Lauca National Park in northern Chile found a reverse J-shape distribution of size classes of individuals with abundant small plants at all elevations. A new elevational limit for A. c...

Traditional sources of taxonomic characters in the large and taxonomically complex subfamily Apioideae (Apiaceae) have been confounding and no classification system of the subfamily has been widely accepted. A restriction site analysis of the chloroplast genome from 78 representatives of Apioideae and related groups provided a data matrix of 990 variable characters (750 of which were potentiall...

to evaluate the genetic variations in eleven fennel populations in iran, 55 accessions were analyzed by srap markers. twelve primer combinations produced 171 polymorphic bands. the cumulative dendrogram delineated fennel accessions into five major groups in accordance to the geographical regions from which the populations were originated. about 43.57% of total genetic variation was detected amo...
