        The indian meal moth is one of the most important pest of stored product. In this study‚ the repellency effect of the alcoholic and hexanic plant extract and powder of four medicinal plants , lavandula angstifolia, artemistia dracunculus, anethum graveolens, and petroselimun sativum have been studied on adults and last instar larvae of this pest. To prepare the extracts, plants were powdered, then dissolved in solvent and filtered after 24 houres. These crude plant extracts have been used in experiments. In contact repellency experiment, the 9 cm whatman filter paper divided into two parts from the middle. Half of it was weted with definite plant extract dose and another half was weted with solvent. after they dried, 20 last instar larvae released from centes each petri dish. then the repellency effect of plant extracts was measured after 24 hours. The results showed all plant extracts except hexanic extract of L. angstifolia, had the contact repellency effect on adult insect. The Y-shaped olfactometer has been used for dtermining fumigant repellency effect of the plant extracts. The repellency effect of treatment were measured on the last instar larvae and adults. In most cases the plant extracts showed a significant repellency effect at1% level on larveae and adults. But the repellency effect of the powders on adults was less than plant extracts, and had attractive effect on, the Indian meal larvae. Manuscript profile

        The emphasis of the World Health Organization on the gradual replacement of natural materials instead of chemicals has caused different countries of the world to invest, and, plan mass production of medicinal plants at the industrial levels and use them in the pharmaceutical, food and, health industries. Although the production of secondary metabolites depends on genetic factors, it is significantly influenced by environmental factors. The effects of different growth conditions (field and greenhouse) on the quantity and quality of essential oil of dill( Anethum graveolens L.) and parsley( Petroselinum sativum L.) were studied. Field cultivation was done on agricultural land in the Kerman Baqerabad region. In the greenhouse cultivation, germinated seeds were planted in pots with loamy soil( 2/3) and vermicompost (1/3) and, cocopeat and perlite. Rorison solution was used for feeding plants in pots. Plants were harvested after 3 months. Essential oils of 100 grams of dried herbs were isolated by water distillation using Clevenger apparatus. Essential oil analysis was done by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/ MS). According to the results obtained from the compounds identified in the essential oil of dill, the highest amounts of components were alpha-phellandrene (54.5%), phytol (18.65%) and apiol (49.2%) in the field, loamy-vermicompost and cocopeat-perlite media respectively. In parsley essential oil, myristicin was the highest in all three culture media. Manuscript profile

        Background and objective: In this study, the antifungal effects of the extracted oil of Petroselinum crispum, Acimum basilicum, Anethum graveolens, Mentha viridis on Aspergilus parasiticus ATCC 15517 was evaluated. Also, the chemical compositions of the vegetables were More
        Background and objective: In this study, the antifungal effects of the extracted oil of Petroselinum crispum, Acimum basilicum, Anethum graveolens, Mentha viridis on Aspergilus parasiticus ATCC 15517 was evaluated. Also, the chemical compositions of the vegetables were determined.  Materials and methods: The essential oils were obtained using hydrodestillation of  dried plant material. Their compositions and Minimum inhibitory concenteration (MIC) were determined by GC-MS and serial dilution method, respectively. Results: The main component of the essential oils was detected as follow: Mentha viridis: Benzen bromophenoxy-methyl dimethyl, Acimum basilicum: Ethyldecaborane, Anethum graveolens:Decarbadecaborane- dimethyl and Petroselinum crispum: Methyl anthracene. Minimum Inhibitory concenteration of the essential oils determined by serial dilution method. MIC for Mentha viridis, Anethum graveolens, Acimum basilicum, Petroselinum crispum were 1.5,1.5,3 and 4 µl/ml, respectively. The antifungal power of assayed essential oils was different, depending on their concentration. This effect in Mentha viridis and Anethum graveolens was identical and stronger than two others.  Conclusion: These results indicate that the mentioned essential oils had great antifungal activities and could be used as preservatives and fungicides in food in order to preventing of food pollution.

        In order to evaluate of effect drought stress and salicylic acid on yield and growth parameters and essence of Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) a greenhouse experiment was conducted as factorial arrangement base on (CRD)with four replications in Saffashar city in 2011. The first factor consisted of three levels of drought stress (irrigation at field capacity during the growing period, drought stress medium with 2/3 field capacity in both vegetative and flowering stages and severe drought 1/3 field capacity at flowering stage) and the second factor consisted of four concentration of salicylic acid (0, 100, 200, and 300 mg of salicylic acid per liter). Results showed that maximum plant height, shoot dry weight and shot fresh weight can be related to irrigation treatments at field capacity. The lowest measured traits were among the different irrigation treatments on drought stress, with 1/3 field capacity at the flowering stage. Maximum percent ofessence was related to drought stress treatment on 1/3 field capacity at flowering stage and the highest essence yield were obtained to mild and severe drought stress (irrigation at 2/3 field capacity and 1/3 field capacity). Salicylic acid application results showed that the highest fresh and dry weight and essence and essence yield obtained in 300 mg per liter of salicylic acid, and the least was in control. The highest essence yield per hectare was obtained in 2/3 field capacity in both vegetative and flowering stages and the appropriate time could be achieved in both essence percent and essence yield.

        One of the most common causes of in fertility is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 6-8 percent of womens of child bearing age are affected with endocrine disorders. If the extract contains flavonoids, phytoestrogens are compounds that are effective in treating many diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of changes in estrogen and progesterone hormones in polycystic mice.35 female Wistar rats weighing 20±180g in 2 to 3 consecutive estrous cycles were selected. Then divided into 5 groups of 7 to include a control group (no drug), polycystic group (day 4 mg/kg estradiolvalerate drugs were given intramuscularly), experimental 1, 2 and 3 groups, which also received 4mg/kg estradiolvalerate medication, daily doses, minimum, average and maximum to extract the received intraperitoneally. After 21days, all mice were bled to measure the hormones estrogen and progesterone was used.Level estrogen concentrations in the polycystic group and the experimental group that Anethum graveolens minimum and average dose received has increased significantly compared with control requirements. Progesterone concentration in polycystic experimental group has a significant decrease compared with control requirements. The subjects were identified that are likely to extract improves ovary polycystic syndrome due to changes in the concenteration of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Manuscript profile

        Anethum graveolens(Dill) is a member of the Apiaceae family. As a folk remedy, dill seeds have been used to increase motherandrsquo;s milk production. While high doses of dill has been mentioned to weaken sexual and decreases spermatogenesis in males. In this study the effects of Anethum graveolens seeds alcoholic extracts on the reproductive system of adult male rats, was investigated. 24 Wistar rats, weighting 210-230 gr, divided into 3 groups of control, experimental 1 and experimental 2. Experimental groups were injected with 50 mg/rat and 100 mg/rat of alcoholic extracts of dill seeds for 16 days. The control group received normal saline for the same period. At the 16th day the reproductive organs were separated and weighted. Histological changes was studied in testes among experimental and control groups. The results were evaluated by using one way Anova and Tukey test. The results indicated significant decrease of weight and volume of testis. Histological studies showed significant effects such as decreased number of spermatogonium, spermatocyte and spermatid. Sperm number was decreased in group that received 50 mg/rat of A.g seed alcoholic extract. Seminiferous tubule diameter was decreased in experimental groups. Manuscript profile
