Published: September 2008

The present study tends to investigate the anatomy and palynology of Hymenocrater species in Northeast of Iran. To conduct the comparative study of anatomy characters, sections from stem and leaf were prepared using microtome and differential staining. In this part of investigation, arrangement of vessel in stem, stoma type and arrangement of mesophyll in leaf were studied. For the palynology study, too a comparative investigation on the species showed, the pollen was problate spheroidal, hexacolpate, bireticulate and semitectate. Finally a variation between the shape of lumina in eu-reticulate and supra reticulate of pollen was observed.

Background: The diversity found in the chemical compounds of a single species in different regions results in different biologic characteristics which can be considered as a strong source for identifying new chemotypes. Hymenocrater incanus Bunge and Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss. are exclusive species of the Lamiaceae family which grow in the western and central habitats of Iran.

Hymenocrater longiflorus (surahalala) is a wild plant species with potential pharmaceutical and ornamental interest. To date, the genomics of this plant is unknown and the gene expression profiling of the genes related to its metabolite has never been studied before. In order to study the responses of in vitro-grown surahalala plants to abiotic stresses and the differential expression of the genes related to its essential oils under exogenous proline application; three levels of PEG600 (0, 10, and 20%) and five levels of proline (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 µm) were combined in the culture media.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Traditional medicine has a long history and plays an important role in the Kurdish community in Sarvabad county, Kurdistan province, Iran. Despite the great diversity of medicinal plants, cultural history, and variety of herbal medicine uses among Kurdish tribes, very few cohesive ethnopharmacological studies of this unique region are available in the scientific literature. Our study tried to gather medicinal plant species and document the associated indigenous knowledge of the ethnic groups in the Sarvabad district for the first time.
