| Popis: | Colchicine, a drug used as an anti-inflammatory to treat gout condition and in tubulin-binding studies, is still obtained mainly from the meadow saffron Colchicum autumnale L. Corms of two related Jordanian species Colchicum hierosolymitanum Feibrun and Colchicum tunicatum Feibrun (Liliaceae) were collected, identified, and planted in the field at four NPK fertilizer levels. Fertilizers rates significantly modified (P < 0.05) both corm yield production and morphological characteristics such as leaf number, corm weight, and leaf area of the two species studied. Flowering and vegetation periods of the two species are also reported. |
