Distance-dependent performance of asexual progeny in Allium vineale (Liliaceae).

Genetic variation and evolutionary trade-offs for sexual and asexual reproductive modes in Allium vineale (Liliaceae).

Populations of Allium vineale commonly include individuals with very different allocation patterns to three modes of reproduction: sexual flowers, aerially produced asexual bulbils, and belowground asexual offsets. If selection is currently acting to maintain these different allocation patterns there must be a genetic basis for variation in allocation to these three reproductive modes. In addit...

The Chemical Compositions of the Volatile Oils of Garlic (Allium sativum) and Wild Garlic (Allium vineale)

Garlic, Alliumsativum, is broadly used around the world for its numerous culinary and medicinal uses. Wild garlic, Allium vineale, has been used as a substitute for garlic, both in food as well as in herbal medicine. The present study investigated the chemical compositions of A. sativum and A. vineale essential oils. The essential oils from the bulbs of A. sativum, cultivated in Spain, were obt...

Genetical and Cytological Studies in Allium I. Spontaneous and Induced Variations of Chromosome Number in the Pollen Grains of Tetraploid Allium Odorum L

Since L. Guignari's investigation (1884) various investigators have reported the studies on plants in the genus Allium of Liliaceae, as some species in this genus are cultivated and are noteworthy from the cytological point of view. According to T. Suto's papers (1936, 1936) on the phylogenetic discussion of Liliaceae and Amaryllidaceae, which show the fact that the idiogram type of the chromos...
