  Background & Aim: A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens. Herbarium specimens form an important recorded of what plants grew where over time. Kerman province with area about 171993 km2 has a lat of difference vegetation because of climatic and topography variations. It has different elevation (above sea level) from 300 m in Shahdad to 4420 m in Hezar mountains.Material & Methods: There are several main aspects to making good herbarium specimens: collecting, pressing & preserving, mounting, labeling, and filing. Some tools are rather important while picking up plants for your herbarium: A small knife, scissors, thorn-proof gloves, newspaper, height and a small handy spade could be of great help.Results & Discussion: In the research project of collection and identification of some plant species of Kerman province for herbarium of Faculty Pharmacy, 295 plant species were identified. They are classified in 210 genera and 54 families. No, scientific names, Persian names, family, location, altitude, date of collection, collection and by identified were mentioned in this paper.Conclusions: The number species belongs to Lamiaceae (48 species), Asteraceae (45 species), Brassica (24 species), and Apiaceae (23 species).

  Background & Aim: Organophosphates are frequently used as insecticides in households, in agricultural areas and veterinary, thus posing a risk for accidental dermal exposure or through inhalation. Acute organophosphate poisoning causes thousands of human mortalities each year in developing countries. Material & Methods: This study carried out to study an antitoxic effect of endemic Iranian medicinal plants agent against organophosphorus on rats. In order, anti-toxic effects of Cichorium intybus L. root ethanol extract and Kelussia oderatassima Mozaff. leaves essential oil on liver and kidney rat. This is an experimental study in 18 Wistar rats were randomly into 6 groups. After 24 hr fasting, normal saline was given to the first group, two and three groups received 200 and 400 mg/kg Cichorium intybus extract, four and five groups received 200 and 400 mg/kg Kelussia oderatassima essential oil and six groups received standard drug (Phenobarbital). Results & Discussion: The histopathological observation indicated that the lowest necrosis in kidney was group received 200 mg/kg Kelussia oderatassima essential oil and highest necrosis in kidney was groups received 200 and 400 mg/kg Cichorium intybus extract and standard drug. The histopathological observation indicated that standard drug and groups received 400 mg/kg Cichorium intybus extract and 200 mg/kg Kelussia oderatassima essential oil may protect liver against acute hepatotoxicity induced by Organophosphate insecticide. Also the highest of increased weight rats revealed group received 200 mg/kg Kelussia oderatassima essential oil.

  Background & Aim: Effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. Direct effects of UV on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves.Material & Methods: The present research for the first time was conducted to investigate the destructive, target or even possible constructive effects of ultraviolet-C (100-280 nm) on in vitro plantlets of Aloe vera and changes of these effects under different concentrations of plant growth regulators of media cultures. Aloe was selected because it is one of the most important subtropical medicinal plants and normally it is exposed to UV in its original growing regions. Treatments were media culture in four stages and UV-C in two stages (0 and 40 Mwcm-1). In vitro plants were cultured on four different media in six replications. Three replications of them were exposed one hour per day with UV-C for one month.Results & Discussion : Our results showed that longest plantlets, highest number of roots and longest roots formed on the media contain 1.5 mgl-1IBA and highest number of shoots on the media contain 1.5 mgl-1IBA and 1 mgl-1 BA.Conclusion: UV-C has significantly reduced the length of roots and shoots root number but increased the shoot number.

  Background & Aim: In this study, is done during one-year research on blue–green and green algae for antimicrobial activity in Mashhad suburb. Aqueous, ether, and methanol extracts from 44 species blue – green algae and green algae were examined for antimicrobial properties against four bacteria (tow positive gram bacteria and tow negative gram bacteria) and tow fungous.Material & Methods: Among blue–green algae, we have known 12 geniuses, which belongs to 5 families of 3 orders, our observations shows that antimicrobial activity of this algae belongs to 2 species of Nostocaceae family, one species of Chroococaceae family, one species of Heylaceae family and one species of Scytonemataceae family. Green algae belongs to 15 geniuses of 3 families and 5 orders. Which antimicrobial activity of belong to 2 species of Scenedesmaceae family and one species of Zygnemataceae family.Results & Discussion: The result showed that a Bacillus subtilis positive gram bacterium is inhibited by tow species of green–blue algae and one species of green algae. Negative gram bacteria Staphylococcus epidermidis inhibited by tow species of blue–green algae and one species of green algae but negative gram bacteria did not show any reaction to this alga.Conclusion: Tow cyanobacteria species and one species of green algae inhibited growth the of Candida albicans, but did not have any effect on Candida keyfer. We can get the result that positive gram bacteria are more sensitive in comparison with negative gram bacteria. Manuscript profile

  Background & Aim: Today, the use of medicinal plants has been growing because of less side effects than chemical drugs in the treatment of diseases particularly infectious diseases. According to the available scientific evidence, garlic is an effective anti-parasitic drug. In the present research will be study the inhibitory effect of garlic tablet on Limnatis nilotica. Material & Methods: To study the garlic tablet effect on paralysis and mortality of leech Leeches were placed in plastic vessels containing 600 ml of water and adding ground garlic tablet 400, 800, 1200 mg. From 1 to 4 hours after the exposure paralysis and death rate of the leeches were recorded accurately. Results & Discussion: The results indicated no effect of garlic tablet on motor response and mortality rate of the leeches. This problem probably caused by removal of thiosulfinate group of garlic tablet. Conclusion: This Study confirming the role of thiosulfinate compound to cause anti-parasitic property of garlic. Possibly, extract of garlic can be effective for leech infestation due to thiosulfinate compound. Manuscript profile
