Development of a green belt with suitable plant species around the source of emission can mitigate the atmospheric contamination. Selection of such plant species are required to combat air pollution based on their tolerance level. Present study was undertaken to evaluate the tolerance level of higher plants in East of Esfahan city, Iran, during 2011 in terms of assessing Air Pollution Tolerance...

in a completely randomized design, the effect of the extract from trifolium alexandrium (0, 0.2 and 0.4%) on the germination, some morphological characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, and nutrients uptake of prosopis cineraria was evaluated. the highest germination rate and percentage (9.16 and 21%, respectively) were recorded in the 0.2% treatment. the maximum and minimum lengths of radicle...

the experiment was done in a factorial design based on completely randomized with three factors and five replications in vitro. the first factors, plant extract (nine plant species), the second factor, solvent (5 solvent) and the third factor, concentration (3 concentration) were considered. in pot condition, the experiment was carried out in factorial based on completely randomized design with...

Fourteen plant species collected in Iran and selected mainly on the basis of their antimicrobial and/or antifungal activities were evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial and cytotoxic effects in a study designed to screen plant extracts with selective activity against Plasmodium falciparum. The methanol extracts of nine of the species tested exhibit activity against Plasmodium falciparum (MIC va...

Scrophularia genus belonging to the family of Scrophulariaceae, is a medicinal plant widely distributed in Iran. In the present study,the anti-malarial activity of different extracts of three Iranian endemic species of Scrophularia including S. frigida, S. subaphylla and S. atropatana, was screened by an in-vitro preliminary assay. The plant materials were extracted successively with n-hexane, ...
