The current study was aimed to investigate the essential oil of Thymus pubescens Boiss.et Kotschy ex Celak chemotypes in five regions of E-Azerbayjanprovince. Samples were collected at the flowering atage. Hydrodistillation method was used to obtain essential oil. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was done by GC and GC/MS methods. Twenty six compounds were determined in the essential oil of experimental sites. Cluster analysis, based on these components with WARD method, showed that five areas were divided into three clusters, so that the first cluster was related to the Sahand area chemotype, the second cluster was related to the Mishoo chemotype and the third cluster included common chemotype in Malekan (Egdelou), Kaleibar (Yuzband) and Maraghe (Kordedeh). Our results showed that the highest and lowest amount of essential oil was recorded for the first chemotype (Sahand, 0.31%) and the third chemotype (Egdelou, 1.34%), respectively. According to the Principal Coordinate Analysis the major compounds of essential oils were as follows: in the first chemotype: р-cymene (4.3%), n-nonanal (9.8%), methyl ether thymol (10.6 %), thymol (30.9 %) , thymyl acetate (13.5%); in the second chemotype: p-cymene (4.1%), γ-terpinene (6.2%), carvacrol (82.1%); in thr third chemotype p-cymene (7.2-1.6%), γ-terpinene (6.5-2.2%), thymol (65.6-27.6%), carvacrol (25.4-3.7%).

The genus Satureja belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Satureja macrantha C. A. Mey. is an aromatic plant growing wild in Zanjan, Kordestan, Hamedan, and Kermanshah provinces. In this research, to domesticate this species and study its essential oil content and composition, the seeds of four accessions were collected from natural habitats and cultivated in the research farm of Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. To compare the essential oil yields and constituents, the aerial parts of each accession were collected in full flowering stage in three consecutive years. After drying in room temperature, the plant materials were subjected to hydro-distillation. The oil yields were calculated and the oil compositions were identified by GC and GC/MS analysis and retention indices. Results showed that the major compounds in all oils were recorded to be thymol, p-cymene and g-terpinene with different percentages. However, carvacrol was also detected in the oils whose value was not considerable. In addition, the oil yields increased gradually with plant growth in all accessions. The quality of oils was also improved with plant aging, except for one accession, so that three- year old plants contained more oil and more phenolic compounds, thymol and carvacrol as compared to one-year old plants. The elimination and appearance of some minor components in the oils with plant aging showed that oil analysis at the first year of cultivation of an aromatic plant did not produce acceptable results. Therefore, to obtain reliable results, the oils should be studied in a few consecutive years.

Moringa peregrine (Forssk.) Fiori is one of the species growing in tropical and desert areas and is distributed in the southeastern of the country in Hormozghan and Sistan and Balochestan provinces. Moringa peregrine is a desert shrub that can grow in areas with little rainfall, andit has a great nutritional, pharmaceutical, environmental, industrial and economic values. This research was aimed to determination of fatty acids in Moringa peregrina seed oil from different locations in Sistan and Balochestan province in 2009. Five samples were collected from five natural research stations. The oil content was determined by the Soxhlet method. The oil content obtained from Tong Fonoj, Keneshky, Bent, Begaband, and Dorahy Chanf sations were measured to be 54.6%, 50.4%, 52.4%, 53.2%, and 53.6% respectively. According to the obtained results, fatty acids content varied as follows: oleic acid (71.5-74%), palmitic acid (12.6-14.7%), Iso-oleic acid (3.6-4.5%), palmitoleic acid (3.3-4.7%), stearic acid (1.9-2.4%), Behenic acid (0.9-1.5%), gadoleic acid (0.4-10.9%) and Arachidonic acid (0.4-1.3%). Over 90 percent of the oil consumed in the country is imported from abroad. Our results clearly indicate that due to the amount of fatty acids in Moringa peregrina seeds, this plant can be considered as a new source for the production of vegetable oil and widespread food consumption.

Eucalyptuses trees as the fast-growing forest species are native to the Pacific. This species were introduced to Iran more than 100 years ago and cultivated in the south, having perfect environment for them. This research was aimed to investigate seasonal fluctuations of essential oil and1,8-cineol content in Eucalyptus species of Fars province. The leaves of 14 Eucalyptus species were collected from Fars province in the middle of each season for two years (2007 & 2008). Afterward, essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation method and compounds were identified by GC and GC/MS. Results showed that in each region, some of the species had the highest essential oil yield and quality; therefore due to the high essential oil content and 1,8-cineol, they could be recommended for large-scale cultivation in the region in order to extract essential oil. Studied Eucalyptus included: E. calcicultrix (Miq.) Blakely; E. camaldulensis var. camaldulensis Dehnh.; E. cornuta; E. fruticetorum; E. intertexta R.T. Baker; E. largiflorens F. Muell.; E. lesouefii; E. longicornis F. Muell.; E. oleosa F. Muell.; E. rudis Endl.; E. salmonophloia F. Muell.; E. salubaris; E. stricklandii Maiden; E. viridis. The essential oil yield of different species at different seasons differed from 1.0 to 6.8% in 2007 and 0.3 to 5.8% in 2008. According to the results, the highest oil yield in autumn (5.2%-6.4%), the highest percentage of 1,8-cineole in winter (91.4%-94%), and the best time to harvest were recorded for E. oleosa F. Muell at Shousni, Mamasani; therefore, E. oleosa F. Muell could be recommended for cultivation as the best species.

Nasturtium officinalis (L.) R. Br. is a prennial and aquatic plant which grows in water flows of most regions of Iran. There are flavonoids in the leaves and flowers of N. officinalis with anticancer properties. In this research, to investigate anticancer effects, leaves and flowers of N. officinalis were used by maceration in methanol for preparation of extract and its fractions. Also, the extract was converted to nanocapsules. The fractions of dichloromethane, diethylether and methanol were prepared from the first extract. Nanocapsules were prepared by double emulsion method using poly-lactic-glycolic acid. Nanocapsules were dried and their dimensions and distribution coefficient were determined. To evaluate the inhibitory effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (T47D) and colon cancer cells (HT-29), effects of the first extract, fractions and nanocapsules were compared with Doxorubicin (500 nM) and RPMI as control treatment. Measuring the the average size of nanocapsules showed that the dimentions of 50% of nanocapsules were less than 10 nm and the other were between 50-900 nm. Results of anticancer properties of the extract and fractions of N. officinalis on both breast and colon cancer cells, for 1 to 3 days, showed that dichloromethane fraction had a stronger effect on inhibition of proliferation of cancer cells compared to the first extract and other fractions. In addition, nanocapsules in the same concentration and period of time killed more cells in comparison to the first extract. Meanwhile, the anticancer effect of N. officinalis extract on breast cancer cells was stronger than that on colon cancer cells. Consequently, the possibility of making medicines from this plant extract especially in nanocapsule form could be considered.

Essential oils in aromatic plants are one of the valuable classes of natural product with medicinal properties. Many species from the genus of Eucalyptus contain essential oils and these oils could be used because of their antimicrobial effects. In this research, the essential oils of ten Eucalyptus species were obtained by hydro-distillation and examined against Escheichia coli (1330) and Micrococcus loteus (1110). The Eucalyptus species were Eucalyptus gilli, E. microcarpa, E. kingesmillii, E. loxophleba, E. gongylocarpa, E. salubris, E. erythrocorys, E. salmonophloia, E. spathulata and E. flocktoniae. The essential oils were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Antimicrobial effects of essential oils were evaluated after dilution with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) through agar diffusion method. The results showed that the main component of all essential oils was 1,8-cineole and α-pinene. The highest amount of 1,8-cineole (82.1%) was found in the oil of E. kingesmillii and the lowest amount (59.6%) was found in the oil of E. salubris. The results showed that all oils were effective against two bacteria. The diameters of inhibitory zones on Micrococcus loteus and Escheichia coli were 10 to 49 mm and 10 to 22 mm respectively.

Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae) is an evergreen shrub widely distributed in the Mediterranean area and Southern Europe. Laurus nobilis is widely found in north of Iran and other places and its cultivation has been common due to evergreen leaves and beautiful appearance. Due to the relationship between distillation time and oil yield and composition, doing research on optimum distillation time to obtain the best quality and quantity of essential oils with the lowest energy consumption has been always considered by scientists. In this study, the effect of different extraction times including 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 minutes on the essential oils content and composition of Laurus nobilis leaves was investigated. The leaves of laurus nobilis were collected in July 2009 from National Botanical Garden of Iran in Tehran, and dried in shade. The essential oil of leaves was extracted by hydro-distillation and analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The leaf oil yield based on dry weight in 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 minutes were respectively 1.35%, 1.92%, 1.97%, 2%, 2.37%, 2.49%, 2.58% and 2.60%. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in oil yield of 90, 105 and 120 minutes extraction times. According to the results, with a view to quantity, 90 minutes was identified as the best extraction time for essential oil extraction in laurus nobilis. 1, 8-cineole and sabinene were identified as the major components of the leaf oil respectively within 15 minutes and after 45 minutes. α-terpinyl acetate remained constant in all extraction times.

Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae) is an evergreen tree and growing in favorable condition to a height of about 15-20 meter. This ornamental tree is indigenous to the Mediterranean area and southeast part of Europe. The essential oil obtained from Laurus nobilis has been used for anti larvae, rheumatic pains and muscular convulsion. Laurel is usually considered as the natural source of this compound, used in the flavor, cosmetic and fragrance industries. In the present study the leaves of Laurus nobilis were collected from two locations (Botanical Garden of Noshahr and National Botanical Garden of Iran in Tehran) in March 2009 and dried in shade. In addition the green stems and fruits were collected from Noshahr. The essential oil of all samples were obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The oil yields based on dry weight for stem, leaf and fruit are respectively 0.22%, 0.43% and 1.35% (for Noshahr samples) and 3.86% for the leaves of Tehran sample. Twenty-fore, 27, 37 and 20 components were identified in the essential oils of stem, leaf, fruit (for Noshahr) and leaf (for Tehran) of Laurus nobilis (representing 95%, 98.5%, 95.6% and 98.4% of the oils), respectively. The major components in the stem oil were 1,8-cineole (42.9%), α-terpinyl acetate (16.8%) and sabinene(4.7%). The main compounds in leaf oil were 1,8-cineole (58.2%), α-terpinyl acetate (10%) and sabinene(7.2%) and main compounds in leaf oil in Tehran sample were 1,8-cineole (47%), sabinene(13.9%) andα -terpinyl acetate (11.5%). The major components in fruit oil were E-β-ocimene (20.8%), 1,8-cineole (14.4%), α-terpinyl acetate (8.5%), germacrene B (7.8%), α-pinene (6.6%), germacrene D (6%), sabinene(5.4%) and β-pinene (5.1%). The results obtained from this study showed that the oil yields from the stem was lower than leaves but in both stem and leaf oils the major components were similar. The fruit oil contained high amount of E-β-ocimene.

In this research effect of drought stress on physiological characteristics of balm (Melissa officinalis L.) was performed under field condition in Karaj, Iran in 2005. Experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Treatment included T1 (non stress), T2 (80%FC), T3 (60%FC), T4 (40%FC) and T5 (20%FC). Effect of drought stress on chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, proline, soluble sugars, relative water contents, percentage and yield of essential oil were significant (α=0.001). Effect of drought stress on total chlorophyll was significant (α=0.005). Comparison of treatment means showed that highest chlorophyll a (1.921mg/l), chlorophyll b (1.197mg/l), total chlorophyll (2/283mg/l) were related to T1 (control), T5 (20%FC) and T1 (control), respectively. Highest accumulation of proline with 2.545 mg/l mean was related to T3 (60%FC). Maximum relative water content with 93.369 mean percentage related to T1 (control). It could be concluded that plant accumulation of proline and solublesugars increased tolerance and showed that moderate drought stress is beneficial for balm production.

Since the relationship between soil and water status of plants and its effect on growth, propagation and metabolism process, the effect of water stress on Parthenium argetatum, was investigated. Irrigation treatments were selected based on different percentage of field capacity (FC), including (1)a control sample which was irrigated to full field capacity during the growing season (FC), (2) two moderate water stress treatments (LS1=75% and LS2=50% of field capacity) and (3) severe water stress treatments (HS=25% of field capacity). Results showed that plant RWC (relative water content) decreased from 65.8% to 42.8%. Also water stress induced high amount of sugar and proline. The amount of sugar was the highest in sever treatment (HS=2.9 mg/g FW) while it was the least in FC treatment (1.07 mg/g FW). The amount of proline was the highest in sever treatment (HS= 4.28 mM) while it changed from 1.1 in LS1, 1.56 in LS2 and the least (0.96 mM) in FC treatments.

In order to investigation of application methods of nitrogen fertilizer on essential oil content and composition of Balm, the experiment was conducted during 7 months in field condition at Alborze Research complex in 2004. This experiment was carried out at two levels of suspension nitrogen (4.5% and 6%) spraying on shoot and two levels of solid nitrogen (60 and 90 kg N/ha) application in soil with control. Treatment was implicated to three equal divisions. This experiment was carried out in complete randomized block design with 4 replications. In floral imitation, plants harvested and essential oil were extracted by water distillation. The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The results showed a significant difference (1%) among nitrogen rates application on essential oil yield. Identification of essential oil components showed that some compounds of the oil decreased with more application of nitrogen in two methods of nitrogen application, whereas some other compounds increased with most application nitrogen in both methods.
