the genus hypericum is one of the most important medicinal plants that contain 17 species in iran, three of them are endemics. this paper reports the essential oil composition of eight hypericum species from iran. the essential oil analysis of a number of the studied plants has already been reported but their report from iran may be valuable for scientists.  samples collected from different pla...

eleven populations of five avena species were analysed for meiotic characters including chiasma frequency and distribution as well as chromosomal association and segregation. plants of a single population of a. eriantha showed the presence of 2n = 14 (diploid) and 2n = 4x = 28 chromosome number. populations of a. barbata and a. wiestii possessed n = 14, while populations of a. sterilis ssp. lud...

The genus Avena comprises four distinct genomes organized in diploid (AA or CC), tetraploid (AABB or AACC) and hexaploid species (AACCDD), constituting an interesting model for phylogenetic analysis. The aim of this work was to characterize 45S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) variability in distinct species representative of Avena genome diversity-A. strigosa (AA), A. ventricosa (CvCv), A. erianth...
