The objective of the current study was to determine the chemical constituents and fumigant toxicity of the essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation form Juniperus foetidissima. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil included large amounts of monoterpenes 51.4%, with citronellol being the major compound thereof, and sesquiterpines 42.4%...

fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in anatolia. thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of juniperus foetidissima willd. and j. sabina l. in this study. in-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...

The genus Juniperus L. (Cupressaceae), an aromatic evergreen plant, consists of up to 68 species around the world. We classified five species of Juniperus found in Iran using molecular markers to provide a means for molecular identification of Iranian species. Plants were collected (three samples of each species) from two different provinces of Iran (Golestan and East Azarbayejan). The DNA was ...

Juniperus L. cinsi; yaprakları sivri ve uzun, meyveleri kozalak şeklinde parlak siyah renkte, boyu ortalama 8-9 metre uzunlukta, çok uzun yıllar yaşayabilen bir ağaçtır. Bu çalışmada geleneksel tıpta kullanımı eskiden beri bilinen, excelsa subsp. M.Bieb. foetidissima Willd. bitkilerinin doğal ortamından toplanan yapraklarından elde edilen uçucu yağlar antimikrobiyal etkileri yönüyle araştırılmı...

Male and female leaves and fruits of eleven different taxons of Iranian conifers (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis, C. sempervirens var. sempervirens, C. sempervirens cv. Cereifeormis, Juniperus communis subsp. hemisphaerica, J. excelsa subsp. excelsa, J. excelsa subsp. polycarpos, J. foetidissima, J. oblonga, J. sabina, Platycladus orientalis and Taxus baccata) were collected from diff...

isolation of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant for their anti-tumor effects. it has been reported that several species of conifers posses’ cytotoxic activities on some tumor cell lines. here branchlets and berries of juniperus foetidissima and j. sabina were collected, dried and ethanol extracts of them obtained u...
