Stachys genus with medicinal properties and high polymorphic features has been considered one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae. The aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid pattern variations and flavonoid groups in ten Stachys species belonging to two sections; Fragilicaulis, and Aucheriana. The studied species were collected from natural habitats in Iran and analysed for their flavo...

Present investigation was aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Rhizobia) from rhizosphere (EC: 2300 μS/cm; pH: 8.6) of four halophytes: Sonchus arvensis L., (sow thistle), Solanum surratense Burm. F., (yellow berried night shade), Lactuca dissecta D. Don., (wild lettuce) and Chrysopogon aucheri (Boiss.) Stapf (golden beared grass) collected from Khewra Salt Ra...

We aimed to investigate the apoptotic effects of the methanolic extract of Dorema glabrum seed on WEHI-164, cancerous cells in comparison with L929, normal cells and compared them with the cytotoxic effects of Taxol. So, MTT test and DNA fragmentation assay were performed on cultured and treated cells. Also electrophoresis which was followed by immunoblotting was done to survey the production o...
