The genus of Satureja consist of 30 species in world. Satureja bachtiarica Bunge is one of the endemic species of this genus in Iran. In order to identify the quality changes of essential oil of Satureja bachtiarica, we planted the specimen in 1382 in Khorram Abad on the 36 plot, using the split factorial design in randomized complete block with 3 replications. Aerial parts of plants were collected in two stages (before and full flowering) from field and provenance in the second year. The plant materials were dried and hydro-distilled in order to obtain their essential oils. The oils were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. The main component of essential oil before flowering stage were carvacrol (20٪), P-cymene (36.5٪) and thymol (19.2.(٪ In the flowering stage 21 compounds were characterized in the oil with carvacrol (25.5٪), p-cymene (23.2٪), thymol (0.5(٪ and mentone (18.5 (٪as the main constituents. Fifteen compounds were characterized in the oil of field sample (Khorram Abad). The main constituents of the oil were carvacrol (48.6٪) and p-cymene (28.6٪) before flowering stage. In the flowering stage 13 compounds were characterized in the oil with carvacrol (62.3٪) and p-cymene (21.2٪) as the main constituents. The oil yields of cultivated and wild S. bachtiarica samples were 1.1, 2.08% and 1.8, 1.1% before and full flowering stages, respectively. The amount of carvacrol in Satureja bachtiarica oils were 48.6%, 62.3% and 20%, 25.8%before and full flowering stages, in field and provenance, respectively. These results showed that variation of ecological characters like altitude, temperature, humidity and climate had effect on percentage of carvacrol.

Markazi province has different types of climatic conditions due to its location which is inside the angle of Alborz and Zagros mountain chains. As a consequence of such a charactrisitic it possess a great variety of diversity of plant species. On the basis of existing reports and scientific resources as well as field investigations, 144 species were introduced from Markazi as medicinal plants. They belonged to 127 genera and 48 famillies, that Compositeae and Labiateae were dominant. The distribution of some of these species are limited to special habitats and elevations. Majority of them have wide distribution in the province and changes of altitude and rainfall are not effective.

After collecthing the Dorema ammoniacum seeds, they need to pass a period in coldness, untill they grow up. So the periods of 0, 20, 25, 30 and 35 days were selected to determine the best coldness periods. Also some seeds were selected as control treatmeat with out passing this period. Temperatures for experimental treatments was 3-4˚Cand control treatment was put in room temperature of (13– 16˚C). Experimental treatment seeds were planted in vase and after two months , vegetaing buds were counted. By analysing the results , the best coldness period was determineed as 30 days. Dorema ammoniacum seeds were collected from their naturel inhabitat to determine the best sowing depth. Three treatmeats were considered to be cultivated in the depth of 0.5 –1 and 1.5 centimeters. Seeds were planted in 30 plastic vases. Buds were counted after growing up and the results were analysed. The result shows that there is no significamt difference between these three treatments of depth and those three cultivation depths are suitable for seed germination (vegetation).

The effects of irrigation regimes on yield and agronomic characteristics of black cumin (Nigella sativa) were studied at the medicinal plants Research station of Qazvin Agricultural and natuoral resources research center during the years 1997 and 1998. A compele randomized block design(CRBD)with three replications was used. The treatments comprised four irrigation periods, 7, 14 , 21 interval days and without irrigation.The characteristits studied include of plant height, 1000 grains weight, number of capsule per plant, number of seeds per capsule, seed/capsule weight ratio and seed yield. Results showed that irrigation perriods in each of two years significantly affected effects plant height, number of capsule per plant, number of seed per plant and seed yield. The seven- day irrigation interval had the highest seed yield (1118kgha-1). There was no difference between treatments in respect of 1000 grains weight and grain/capsule weight ratio. However in water deficit and non- irrigation condition, plant showed resistance to the drought and produced crop with minimum soil moisture of the measured parameters, there was a significant correlation between yield, plant height, number of capsule per plant and number of seed per capsule.

The effect of making wounds (incision)on bulgy roots of Ferula gumosa was studied in order to find the survival rate and yield of plants. This project was conducted over 4 years in Houmand absard station . Different sizes of bulgy roots were collected from Lar valley in Tehran province then transplanted in to farm in Nov.1999.Three treatments were selected including making incision 3,4 and 5 times on the bulgy roots of 40 samples for each one that chose by random in sizes and control(treatment without incision) in July and August 2002. The survival rate and the yield of gum in different treatment were measured the result showed that the yield gum had decrease with the increase of incision times ,average of production and survival in analysis variation compared . There is no significant difference between the numbers of treatments(incision)and also no significant differece between survival of them in compare with control treatment . The highst production belongs to the three times incicsion and the lowest production belongs to the five times. After transplanting the roots from natural site to farm for gum extraction ,more than two years rest for making new combium and also bulgy roots with more than 15 cm. in diameter are needed.

From earliest times Man had to learn which plants would feed him, which were pleasant –flavored, which were poisonous, which would alleviate pain or other symptoms of illness, which could be used as efficient fuel,which would provide pigments for coloring and dyeing, and which were the magic plants that could transport him from reality. It was a long trial – and - error process,as a result of which hundreds of plants were selected in various parts of the world for their specific value to Man. Medicinal plants greatly outnumbered those grown or used as food, and the medicine man and witch - doctor were skilled botanists who had an important role and status in society.They can be considered as the first professional botanists.
As civilizations developed, more and more plants became known, and information about their properties and uses spread from society to society.
The number of plant species used by Man run into the thousands.Not only do they include the major and minor food crops,the timber species, the herbs and spices,the medicinal and drug plants and hallucinogens, the beverage plants, but those that provide us with fibers, cork, tannins, dyes, resins, starches, oils, waxes, and countless other products used in our daily lives. And then there are the thousands of species of trees,shrubs and herbs grown in parks and gardens and in streets for ornament, decoration, display and pleasure, and the very important group of plants grown as animal foder.
This checklist has designed as a guide for more than 1500 useful plants, arranged alphabetically under the scientific nam and property and use by number in the parenthesis.

Acording to results of the investigation, the manna know as Shir-khest exudes from the branches of two species of cotoneaster (Rosaceae). C. nummularia Fisch & Mey and C. nummularioides Pojark Atraphaxis spinosa L. (Polygonaceae) has no manna in Tehran. Province (even in other places.) The manna of Shir-khesht collected from the shrubs in kushk-E-BALA village altitude 1900-2200 m (31 Km far from karadj in chalus road.) Shrubs in this area have been attacked by insect of scolytus rugulosus Mull (col. Scolytidae., Scolytinae.) and in other places which also have shrubs but without insect and larva so have no exudation. Larvae of this insect makes tunnel under the skin and destroy cambium then from these sites manna exudes. Exudation concern to humidity and tempereture of the sites, in the end of July to early August the difference of Maximums and Minimus temperatures are significant and high over twenty degree centigrade and in this period precipitation comes near Zero. Shir-khist occurs in small yellowish-white granules about the size of millet seed. During July and early August the branches of the cotoneaster become covered with the exudation, after few days become hard, collect and mixe with flour. it is valued chiefly as medicinal product (pectoral, purgotive.).

The effect of different amounts of fertilizers, N.P.K., manure, as well as mixture of them in an expriment was investigated at Alborz Research Center, karaj, IRAN in 1996-97. The effects of the fertilizers were studied on seed and shoot yield of Fenel (Foeniclum vulgare), system treatments include various levels of net chemical fertilizers, N.P.K., used in comercial or chemical agricultural systems as well as different levels of manure used in sustainable or organic systems, and a mixture of different ratios of fertilizers and manure used in mixture systems, and the control (with any fertilizer or manure). The expriment was condacted using completely Randomized Block Exprimental design with three replications. The results of first and second years of the expriment showed that in chemical systems, seed and straw had a higher performace in treatments 5(N=160 P= 128 and K=160 Kgha') and No.4 (N=120, P=96 and K=120 Kgha), which equalled 901.33 and 4326.2 Kgha?, respectively while in organic systems related to treatment No.13(40 tonh' manure) that resulted 947.17 and 5147.2 Kgha'', While the highest yield of seed and straw in mixture agroecosystems belonged to treatment No.10 (a mixture of 25 tons of manure with N=60, P=48 and K=60 kgha! chemical fertilizers) with seed an straw yield 1182.67 and 6627 Kgha, respectively. In comparison with the control treatment, seed and straw yield increase were: 69.37% and 31.49% for net chemical system; 122.23% and 101.43% for mixture system; and 77.98% and 56.44% for organic system respectively. The combined analysis of data from two consecutive years of the expriment indicated that shoot biomass of plant, seed & straw yield in mixture systems in comparison to net chemical and organic systems, rised significantly, which is comparisonly more tangible in the second year. This results could be related to that mixture of chemical fertilizer and manure, which is a nutritive source for the plant and plays an important role in improvment of chemical and physical structure of soil.

Effects of six levels of nitrogenous fertilizers (urea) on yield and total alkaloids content in different Organs of Physalis alkekengi were investigated. All experiments were performed at Medicinal Plants Research Station a branch of Yazd Province Research Center for Natural Resources and Animal Husbandary. Experiments were designed as a completely randomized blocks. Six levels of urea fertilizer namely, 0,50,100,150,200 and 250 kg/ha with three replicates were applied to the soil. Upto a certain level, there was a positive correlation between the amount of Napplied and the plants yield (leaves, stems and roots). The correlation between urea application and plants canopy and height was also positive. Whereas the highest plant yield was obtained with 150 kg urea/ha the maximum plant height was achieved with the application of 100 kg urea/ha. Any increase in the amount of N-fertilizer beyond 150 kg/ha had an adverse effect on plant yields. The total alkaloids content in leaves, fruits and roots were determined by Yanevan method. Increasing the amount of urea resulted in an increase in total alkaloid content of leaves, fruits and roots. Application of urea at a rate of 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha caused the highest increase in total alkaloids. Since there was no significant difference (@= 0/01) among the means of alkaloids produced in these treatments, it was concluded that the highest alkaloids will be obtained by application of urea at a rate of 150 kg/ha. Increasing the amount of urea did not affect the rate of root expansion significantly. However, root depth decreased in response to urea application. The highest root depth was obtained in control (no urea) plants. This is in agreement that N-Fertilizers will mostly increase the amount of shoot rather than root system.
