Hospital effluents are serious problems in developing countries like Brazil, and when not treated adequately, can cause mutagenic effects on live organisms. Biomonitors, like Allium cepa L., which is one of the most used plant species when monitoring effluent genotoxicity, have been used to alert the world population about environmental contamination and genotoxic chemical emissions. The Allium...

in the present study we aimed to evaluate the effects of methanolic extracts of the bulbs of garlic (allium sativum l., alliaceae) and persian shallot (allium ascalonicum l., alliaceae ) and leaves of sage (salvia officinalis l., lamiaceae ), ase, aae and soe respectively, on the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (sod), glutathione peroxidase (gpx) and catalase (cat) activities an...

Bawang merah (Allium ascalonicum) merupakan salah satu komoditas sayuran unggul yang diperhatikan pemerintah Indonesia karena terus mengalami peningkatan permintaan konsumsi. Rendahnya hasil produksi infeksi penyakit disebabkan oleh cendawan patogen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gejala tanaman bawang terserang patogen dan mengetahui jenis pada di lahan pertanian Kecamatan Buntu Batu E...

Plants are in intimate association with a great diversity of pathogenic and mutualistic microbes that use host plants for proliferation. Plants, turn, have evolved mechanisms contingent upon their innate immune system to resist perceived biotic stresses. The objective this work is determine the antimicrobial properties an allium-based formulation named CUSTOS on growth plant microorganisms such...

This genus is known for many useful plants – edible, medicinal ornamental its rare species requiring protection. collection contains 111 taxa: 92 species, plus a number onion cultivars forms. It includes 7 listed Red Book Bashkortostan, 35 from other region...

Background and objectives: Leishmaniasis is caused by the genus of Leishmania and is one of the important health problems worldwide. Serious side effects, the lack of effective vaccines and the emergence of drug resistance are the major weak points of leishmaniasis treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate leishmanicidal effects of Allium giganteum ...

Allium sativum L. belongs to a member of the onion family (Alliaceae) and has been used for both culinary and medical purpose. We cloned 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) from Allium sativum. 4-Coumarate:CoA ligase has an important role in the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites at the divergence point from general phenylpropanoid metabolism to several major branch pathways. Its deduced amin...

High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of mycelia of Sclerotium rolfsii grown in broth medium supplemented with garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) was carried out to estimate qualitative and quantitative changes in phenolic acids. Several phenolic acids, such as gallic, chlorogenic, ferulic, o-coumaric and cinnamic acids were detected in varied amounts in mycelia g...

Onion and garlic are best known for their pungent aromas, but these potent veggies have powerful effects on health and also there is urgent need to identify superior populations, quickly characterize and select elite candidates and breed new varieties for achieving current as well as future food and global health security needs. Hence this review article is focused on the analysis of the biolog...

Allium cepa, Guard Cell Protoplasts, Malate, Vicia faba Isolated and purified guard cell protoplasts of starch-containing ( Vicia faba) and starch-lacking (Allium cepa) stomata were used to study the metabolism of malate and Clanions as correlated with the K +-induced swelling of protoplasts. The correlation between swelling and malate synthesis in starch-containing and the inhibition of this c...
