The genus Achillea L. includes more than 100 species and is a polyploid complex of di-, tetra-, hexa- and octaploids, individuals.

The aerial parts of Achillea setacea afforded, in addition of a rare monoterpene triol and 12 known sesquiterpene lactones, a new guaianolide containing an endoperoxide ring. Its structure was elucidated by spectral methods.

The present study aimed to prepare A. goniocephala chloroform extract and evaluate antioxidant cytotoxic effects. Then, the nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized on most efficient extracts biological activities of free forms compared with NPs forms. Antioxidant capacities 14 by column chromatography found FRAP, DPPH CUPRAC methods. Again, all fractions evaluated MCF-7 HT-29 cell lines using XTT ...

In this study, a new chromosome number for Iranian yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) accessions was reported. Cytological analyses on four Achillea millefolium accessions, indicated that two accessions were diploids (2n=2x=18) and two tetraploids (2n=4x=36). Cluster analysis based on chromosomal characteristics and karyotype asymmetry, categorized the four accessions separated into two groups. I...
