The leaf anatomy of representative species of <em>Onosma </em>L. from Iran have shown that the type of hairs are characteristic features in distingushing species and group of species within the genus. In internal structure of lamina two distinct groups are recognized within <em>Onosma; </em>sections <em>Protonosma </em>M. Pop. and <em>Podonosma </em>(Boiss.) Gruck with dorsiventral mesophyll and sect. <em>Onosma </em>mainly isobilateral. Several anatomical characters are associated with xeromorphy. Leaf anatomy supports the division of the genus <em>Onosma </em>L. into 3 sections. <br />

C. <em>zagrica </em>differs from all species of the genus <em>Crataegus </em>in Iran by having deciduous sepals in fruits and <em>H. esfahanicum </em>differs from <em>H. samoliflorum </em>by having hairs which located in the middle of the corolla lobes, subulate hooked intercalary lobes and hairy nutlets.

Biosystematic study was performed on several <em>Solanum </em>species native to Iran. Cytological analysis revealed presence of 2n=24,48 and 72 chromosome number in the species/populations studied. Karyotypic studies revealed the role played by polyploidy and structural changes of chromosomes during species diversification. The somatic chromosome number of S. <em>persicum </em>is reported for the first time.
Numerical analysis of morphological characters and SDS-PAGE protein bands supported the classical taxonomic treatment of the genus, providing evidence for the species inter-relationships.

Leaflets of 111 specimens including 82 bifurcate haired <em>Astragalus </em>species in 13 sections were taken from the herbarium specimens of Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands (TARI). They were analyzed quantitatively for toxic aliphatic nitro compounds. The catabolites of nitro compounds, 3-nitro-1-propanol and 3-nitropropionic acid, are especially toxic to cattle and sheep. Nitro compounds are also important from chemotaxonomic point of view. These nitro-toxins were detected in 4 of 82 species. <br />

<em>Londesia eriantha </em>has sometimes been included in <em>Bassia eriophora </em>as a synonymy or as a variety of it. It has sometimes been known as a distinct species but under the genus <em>Bassia. </em>Both species occur in Iran and they are morphologically distinct and geographically separated. <em>Londesia eriantha </em>has no appendages on perianth segments and it distributes from C. Asia to the centre of Iran. <em>Bassia eriophora </em>bears rather long spines on perianth segments and it has a distribution from N. Africa eastwards through Palaestine and Arabia to S. of Iran. As appendages of Perianth in this group and also the whole <em>Chenopodiaceae </em>family is a generic diagnostic character, the two species are kept in different genera, i. e. <em>Londesia </em>and <em>Bassia.</em>

This research analyzed the different anatomical-physiological characteristics of two leguminous plants: the calcifuge plant <em>Lupinus luteus </em>was compared with the calcicole plant <em>Vicia </em><em>faba. </em>The difference in structures, the dense glandular hair coverage, the presence of crystals and tanniferous cells in <em>V. faba, </em>together with physiological factors, are among the reasons why calcicole plants are more resistant to excesses of calcium.

Twelve populations of <em>Bromus tomentellus </em>collected from different parts of Iran were surveyed for karyotypic characteristics. The data were analysed using a factorial model of analysis of variance. After a confident result of differences between populations for the characters, complementary analysis was performed on the data. The populations were classified for the karyotypic characteristics and correlations between all combinations of the populations were estimated based on the total chromosome length and long arms of the chromosomes. Using principle components analysis the most variable karyotypic characters were identified. The principle components which contained the most amounts of existing variation of the data were also recognized. The two main components were used to produce a scatter plot of the populations. Cluster analysis was used to classify the populations based on the chromosomes total length and all of the measured characters. Regarding the karyotypic characteristics the least and the most similar populations were identified. Several statistics were estimated for assessment of asymmetry of the karyotypes. Regarding the results of the analysis of variance, the populations, chromosomes and their interactions were significantly different for most of the studied characters. The populations were highly correlated based on the total length of the chromosomes and L/S ratio but some weak correlations were also observed between some combinations of the populations. In principle components analysis, total length of the chromosomes and long arm length had the most influence on the first component, which in turn contained more than 90% of the existing variation in the data. Cluster analysis on both of the total length of chromosomes and all of the recorded attributes produced a similar grouping. The most distant populations based on their karyotypes, which may produce infertile progenies in breeding programs were also identified.
