Allium L. (Alliaceae), a genus of major economic importance, exhibits a great diversity in various morphological characters and particularly in life form, with bulbs and rhizomes. Allium species show variation in several cytogenetic characters such as basic chromosome number, ploidy level, and genome size. The purpose of the present investigation was to study the evolution of nuclear DNA amount...

This work aims to assess the leek-arbuscular fungus symbiosis response effect of cutting and light exposure on one hand, impact seedling density this other hand. Allium Porrum was grown in a container two different trials. Four species arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus hoi, Scutellospora gregaria, Rhizophagus intraradices Gigaspora margarita were used constitute inoculum. After 150 days grow...

In this study, the incorporation of leek in wheat bread was explored. Green leaves were dried with two techniques to obtain powder after milling. The air-dried and freeze-dried powders incorporated into flour at five substitution levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 2 g/100 g). impact on dough rheology, quality, sensory evaluation mould-free shelf-life investigated. Leek negatively impacted mixing properties...

The present study was designed to evaluate the phytochemical profile and the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-convulsant activity of methanolic extracts of Allium sativum, L.(peel of the bulb), Arachis hypogaea, L. (fruit shell), Citrus limon, L. (rind of the fruit), Punica granatum, L.(rind of the fruit) and Vitis vinifera, L.( seed).

Allium vegetables have been employed for a long time in traditional medical practice to treat a variety of diseases. Onion (Allium cepa L.), one of the representative Allium vegetables, has been used for centuries for its pungency, flavoring value, and medicinal properties. The bulb of onion is used medicinally and has been consumed as seasoning food for many centuries (Sengupta et al., 2004). ...
