Purpose of this study is determine the effect of cadmium on some oxidative stress factors in Brassica oleracea l. cv. saccata in a random pattern & repeated 3 times. in order to control experimental conditions the same as the inhibitory effects of the other factors such as soil nutrition factors the hydroponic growth culture was used. The root and shoot samples picked up in 14th day after treatment with different cadmium concentration (0.5, 5) and used it for determination of biochemical and morphological parameters. The activity of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde in aerobiosis bodies and roots and also the content of Anthocyanin and chlorophyll a and b in shoots were measured. The results showed the activity of SOD in some aerobiosis bodies in 5 and 0.5 concentration of cadmium & also CAT enzyme activity in aerobiosis bodies with 5 concentration and in roots with 5 cadmium concentration has increased. The cadmium treatment have showed that PPO increased in 5 cadmium con. and also the decreased in 0.5 cadmium con., significantly, in aerobiosis bodies. The amount of Malondialdehyde as an index of proxidation membrance lipids has been decreased significantly in 0.5 con. in shoots. In caring plants with cadmium, Anthocyanin has decreased, significantly. The amount of a & b chlorophylls decreased in 5 concentration. Thus, the obtained results in this study have showed that cadmium has a positive effect on some antioxidant system parameters of the plant in the oxidative stress conditions & regarding that in the most cadmium have never seen any significant root in the data, we can conclude the cadmium conducts from the root to shoot.

Myosotis L. (Boraginaceae) consists of 15 genera in Iran and distinguished by small, black and smooth nutlets. In order to determination of Myosotis phylogenetic position in generic and subgeneric level, 14 species of Myosotis along with some Cynoglosseae species were used. Matrices consist of chloroplstic rpl32-trnlUAG and combined nrDNAITS - cpDNArpl32-trnlUAG sequences were analyzed by maximum parsimony and Bayesian Inference. Results confirmed the monophyly of the Myosotis genus. Also Strophiostoma and Myosotis subgenera, Myosotis and Exarrhena sections and Myosotis annual species are not monophyletic. Based on chloroplast rpl32-trnlUAG sequences, C, E and F groups are monophyletic. Combined nuclear and chloroplast data showed the monophyly of the six A, B, C, D, E and F groups. Fgroup with numerous diagnostic characters was monophyletic in all data. This group is introduced as a distinct and monophyletic group called “Alpestris group” in Iran, consists of four species, M.asiatica, M.alpestris, M. suaveolens and M. lithospermifolia.
