Background: Insomnia is a prevalent disorder leading to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
Methods: This study investigates the effect of a combination of herbs ( L. and Boiss. & Buhse) on anxiety and depression for insomniacs and on insomnia severity. This study is a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total number of 67 participants met the inclusion criteria who were diagnosed as cases of insomnia. The patients were randomized into the herbal treatment or placebo groups. The herbal treatment group received a combination of and Boiss. & Buhse. The primary outcomes were insomnia, depression and anxiety. We used per-protocol analysis.
Results: The all outcomes of herbal treatment were significantly improved compared with placebo in the ISI, BAI and BDI scores after four weeks' treatment ( value: 0.008, 0.005 and <0.001 respectively).
Conclusion: A combination of L. and Boiss. & Buhse may improve insomnia and its comorbid depression and anxiety.

is an endangered western Asiatic desert plant species, which survives under extreme environmental conditions. In this study, we focused on transcriptome analysis of to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with drought tolerance. Two different periods of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress (48 h and 72 h) were imposed on under in vitro conditions, which resulted in 18 million reads, subsequently assembled by de novo method with more than 8000 transcripts in each treatment.

Many areas throughout the world, mainly arid and semi-arid regions, are simultaneously affected by salinity stress and heavy metal (HM) pollution. Phytoremediation of such environments needs suitable plants surviving under those combined stresses. In the present study, native species naturally growing under an extreme condition, around Qaleh-Zari copper mine located in the eastern part of Iran, with HM-contaminated saline-sodic soil, were identified to find suitable plant species for phytoremediation.
