In this review, some studies on Lilium genus that have about 100 species and belong to Liliaceae were investigated and compiled. Lilium is used in different fields as medicine, food, landscape and perfumery industry. There are a lot of molecular and genetic studies on Lilium species because of its large chromosomes. The antioxidant, cytotoxic, genotoxic activities of some species were determined and some phyochemical compounds were isolated from Lilium species. According to researches, Lilium species are potential antioxidant sources and include some compounds as steroidal saponins, glycoalkaloid and phenolic glyceride was found. Consequently, this review strongly suggest that this genus may serve for pharmaceutical applications and can continue to be used as an ornamental plant.

Cistanche (C. deserticola) - is one of the valuable technical plants of the Kazakhstan flora. The value of cistanche is due to the high content of various polysaccharides, iridoids, and other biologically active substances in the stolons, which are widely used in the eastern countries as feedstock for the production of many pharmacologically active compounds with a wide spectrum of action: increasing tone, potency, antioxidant activity. However, to date, the natural reserves of cistanche are substantially depleted, which makes both the problem of preserving this species and the search for alternative sources of its biologically active substances urgent. It is known that the cell culture of higher plants is an alternative way to obtain rare plant biomass. This paper presents the results of work on optimizing methods for obtaining callus cell cultures from C. deserticola seeds. Several lines of callus cultures of cistanche cells were obtained, growth characteristics were studied. It was established that the proposed method for obtaining callus cultures of cistanche cells is quite effective, the obtained lines have good growth characteristics and differ in color, which is evidence of the synthesis of various secondary metabolites.

Verbascum L. species have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine thanks to their bioactive compounds. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant activity and phenolic contents of ethanolic and acetonic extract of Verbascum glomeratum that collected from Denizli, Turkey. The antioxidant activity were evaluated by using various methods (β-carotene/linoleic acid, ferric reducing power assays (FRAP), radical scavenging assays of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2and#39;-azino-bis-3-ethyl benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), phoshomolibdenum methods) and total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents in the extracts were determined. Antioxidant activity was determined as β-carotene/linoleic acid (%58.5and#177;0.021), DPPH (IC50: 1.220and#177;0.025) and ABTS (IC50:1.552and#177;0.021), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (4.151and#177;0.056 mgTE/g), phoshomolibdenum assay (8.218and#177;0.015 mgAE/g) total phenolic, total flavonoid and tannin contents was found as (4.41and#177;0.007 mgGAE/mL), (87.142and#177;0.009 and#181;QE/g), and (30.178and#177;0.008 mgCEs/g) respectively, and then 14 different phenolic compounds in ethanol extracts was carried out by HPLC. Epicatechin (2742.09 and#181;g/g) and 2,5dihidroksi (2544.96 and#181;g/g) were the most abundant phenolic constituents in the extracts. According the results, the extract of V. glomeratum may be considered as a potential source of biological agents.
