Production of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is expanding in both the traditional and non-native areas Jammu Kashmir, India. A study was carried out to develop a cost-effective production system module at ARSSSS, SKUAST-Kashmir, Pampore determine suitable corm weight planting density for saffron. The treatments current includes 3 levels (W1= < 8g, W2= 8-12g W3 = >12g) 5 densities viz., 15 lakh den...

BACKGROUND Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is used in folk medicine, for example as an antiedematogenic agent. We aimed to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of saffron extracts in mice. RESULTS We used aqueous and ethanolic maceration extracts of Crocus sativus L. stigma and petals. Antinociceptive activity was examined using the hot plate and writhing tests. The effect ...

the taxonomic affinity of six species of crocus (c, cancellatus subsp. damascenus c. almehensis, c. gilanicus, c. sativus, c.pallassi subsp. haussknechtii,c. speciosus subsp. speciosus) from iran were studied usingdifferent electrophoresis techniques. the similarity index of the species was computed by comparison of protein bands of - corm and seed tissues, and the related dendrogms of affinity...

BACKGROUND In recent years phytotherapy has been explored as a source for alternative treatments for mood disorders. One potential candidate is saffron (Crocus sativus L.), whose main bioactive components are crocins and safranal. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of affron®, a standardised stigmas extract from Crocus sativus L. for improving mood, stress, anxie...

More than 30 mineral elements have been found with different key functions in helping plants and animals to survive and live healthy. As a direct result, they have always attracted the attention of scientists. The quest is to find some efficient analytical and quantitative procedures in this study to determine some mineral and trace elements of Iranian Crocus sativus L. corms. Several studies h...

Aims: This study aimed to determine the effects of different cultivation practices on yield and characteristics saffron corm grown in field greenhouse conditions.Methods Results: Two sizes, with an average weight 12 g 6 g, were used as production material. The corms was carried out areas where 4 treatments applied such silt (fine stream sand), cockpeat, peat + perlite cockpeat perlite. Field st...
