Hsu, C. L., Hoepting, C. A., Fuchs, M., Smith, E. A., and Nault, B. A. 2011. Sources of Iris yellow spot virus in New York. Plant Dis. 95:735-743. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) has been found consistently in commercial dry bulb onion fields throughout New York State since 2006. Yearly recurrence of IYSV may result from annual reintroductions of the virus or persistence of the virus in overwinte...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com ecological zones of Pakistan includes Phulkara, Swat-1, Sariab Red, Chiltan-89, Desi Red and Nasarpuri. There always remains need to widen the genetic diversity in onion. Therefore germplasm (five entries) received from Asian Vegetable Research and Development Centre (AVRDC), Taiwan, was primarily evaluated during 2005-06 and 2006-07 along with six ...

Mice fed with diet containing 0.5 % cholesterol for 10 weeks resulted in cholesterol supersaturation in gallbladder bile which promoted the formation of cholesterol gallstones (CGS). In this study, dietary hypocholesterolaemic spices, garlic and onion (both raw or heat-processed) were examined for their antilithogenic potential by including at 0.6 and 2.0 % level, respectively, along with litho...

Allium cepa (onion) has a beneficial effect on disease treatment worldwide and has been used since ancient times as a medicinal and food source. Recently several reports have shown that onion has high antioxidant activity. As antioxidants have an essential effect on sperm health parameters, we investigated the effect of the fresh juice of onion bulbs on the spermatogenesis cycle in rats. Wistar...

This article reviews research on gender and learning styles of students, 18 and older, conducted after 1980. Curry's onion model (1983) is used to classify definitions of learning styles and to reconstruct the theoretical frameworks used. The extent to which learning style is considered stable or variable in different learning contexts determines its position in the model. Most studies used the...

Tight control of blood glucose is the most important strategy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Here, we investigated the beneficial effects of Welsh onion on fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibitory activities of hot water extracts from the green stalk and white bulb, which are the edible portions of the Welsh onion, and the fibrous root extract against yeast α-glucosidase were...

Onion (Allium Cepa) contains high levels of flavonoids. Although there are many studies indicating the inhibitory effects of flavonoids on xanthine oxidase, there is no report on the effect of onion on this enzyme. Therefore, in the present study, the inhibitory effects of onion on xanthine oxidase are investigated. Fresh filtered juice of onion was prepared and its inhibitory effect on guine...

onion thrips, thrips tabaci lindeman (thysanoptera: thripidae), is a global pest of onion, Allium cepa l., and the principal vector of iris yellow spot virus (iYsv) that can cause 100% crop losses. the purpose of this study was to evaluate onion cultivars resistant to t. tabaci feeding damage for their reaction to iYsv following exposure to viruliferous t. tabaci in both laboratory and field ex...

Onions are excellent sources of bioactive compounds including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and polyphenols. An onion by-product was characterised in order to be developed as a potentially bioactive food ingredient. Our main aim was to investigate whether the potential health and safety effects of this onion by-product were shared by either of two derived fractions, an extract containing the on...

In this note we classify all triples (a, b, i) such that there is a convex lattice polygon P with area a, and p respectively i lattice points on the boundary respectively in the interior. The crucial lemma for the classification is the necessity of b ≤ 2 i+7. We sketch three proofs of this fact: the original one by Scott [Sco76], an elementary one, and one using algebraic geometry. As a refinem...
