Received: 4 January 2019; Accepted: 2 February 2019; Published: 9 February 2019 Abstract: Knowledge of the fascinating world of DNA repeats is continuously being enriched by newly identified elements and their hypothetical or well-established biological relevance. Genomic approaches can be used for comparative studies of major repeats in any group of genomes, regardless of their size and complexity. Such studies are particularly fruitful in large genomes, and useful mainly in crop plants where they provide a rich source of molecular markers or information on indispensable genomic components (e.g., telomeres, centromeres, or ribosomal RNA genes). Surprisingly, in Allium species, a comprehensive comparative study of repeats is lacking. Here we provide such a study of two economically important species, Allium cepa (onion), and A. sativum (garlic), and their distantly related A.

Both species belong to a small section A. sect. Butomissa (Salisbury 1866: 91) Kamelin (1973: 239), which is subordinated to a subgenus of the same name, A. subgen. Butomissa (Salisb.) N.Friesen in Friesen et al. (2006: 22). Native range of the species is completely Asian, and it is known to occur in Kazakhstan, Russia, China, and Mongolia (Pavlov & Poljakov 1958; Friesen 1988, 1995; Xu & Kamelin 2000). It is considered to be a relic of former cultivation in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (Vvedensky 1963). Allium ramosum prefers steppes, dry meadows, and petrophytic communities in the wild. In Europe, A. ramosum is a rare alien species. It was introduced into Europe as a spice plant in the last decades of the 20th century and is still regularly available in the garden trade (R.

  • Evaluation of Larvicidal Activity of the Essential Oil of Allium Macrostemon
    Liu et al. Parasites & Vectors 2014, 7:184 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/7/1/184 RESEARCH Open Access Evaluation of larvicidal activity of the essential oil of Allium macrostemon Bunge and its selected major constituent compounds against Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) Xin Chao Liu1, Qiyong Liu2, Ligang Zhou3 and Zhi Long Liu1* Abstract Background: During the screening programme for new agrochemicals from Chinese medicinal herbs and local wild plants, the essential oil of dried bulbs of Allium macrostemon Bunge (Liliaceae) was found to possess larvicidal activity against mosquitoes. The aim of this research was to determine the larvicidal activity of the essential oil and its major constituent compounds against the larvae of the Culicidae mosquito, Aedes albopictus. Methods: Essential oil of A. macrostemon was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromaotography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The activity of the essential oil and its two major constituents were evaluated, using World Health Organization (WHO) procedures, against the fourth instar larvae of Ae. albopictus for 24 h and larval mortalities were recorded at various essential oil/compound concentrations ranging from 9.0 - 150 μg/ml. Results: The essential oil of A. macrostemon exhibited larvicidal activity against the early fourth instar larvae of Ae. albopictus with an LC50 value of 72.86 μg/ml. The two constituent compounds, dimethyl trisulfide and methyl propyl disulfide possessed strong larvicidal activity against the early fourth instar larvae of Ae. albopictus with LC50 values of 36.36 μg/ml and 86.16 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicated that the essential oil of A.

  • Complete Chloroplast Genomes Shed Light on Phylogenetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae) Ju Namgung1,4, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,4, Changkyun Kim1, Hyeok Jae Choi3 & Joo‑Hwan Kim1* Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, fve of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae. These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein‑coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes, and range from 151,808 to 159,998 bp in length. Loss and pseudogenization of multiple genes (i.e., rps2, infA, and rpl22) appear to have occurred multiple times during the evolution of Alloideae. Additionally, eight mutation hotspots, including rps15-ycf1, rps16-trnQ-UUG, petG-trnW-CCA , psbA upstream, rpl32- trnL-UAG , ycf1, rpl22, matK, and ndhF, were identifed in the studied Allium species. Additionally, we present the frst phylogenomic analysis among the four tribes of Allioideae based on 74 cpDNA coding regions of 21 species of Allioideae, fve species of Amaryllidoideae, one species of Agapanthoideae, and fve species representing selected members of Asparagales. Our molecular phylogenomic results strongly support the monophyly of Allioideae, which is sister to Amaryllioideae. Within Allioideae, Tulbaghieae was sister to Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae whereas Allieae was sister to the clade of Tulbaghieae‑ Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae. Molecular dating analyses revealed the crown age of Allioideae in the Eocene (40.1 mya) followed by diferentiation of Allieae in the early Miocene (21.3 mya). The split of Gilliesieae from Leucocoryneae was estimated at 16.5 mya.

Seed Yield, Floral Morphology, and Lack of Male-fertility Restoration of Male-sterile Onion (Allium cepa) Populations Possessing the Cytoplasm of Allium galanthum M.J. Havey1 Vegetable Crops Unit, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. cytoplasmic male sterility, alien cytoplasm, introgression ABSTRACT. The primary source (S cytoplasm) of cytoplasmic-genic male sterility (CMS) used to produce hybrid-onion (Allium cepa L.) seed traces back to a single plant identified in 1925 in Davis, California. Many open-pollinated populations also possess this cytoplasm, creating an undesirable state of cytoplasmic uniformity. Transfer of cytoplasms from related species into cultivated populations may produce new sources of CMS. In an attempt to diversify the cytoplasms conditioning male sterility, the cytoplasm of Allium galanthum Kar. et Kir. was backcrossed for seven generations to bulb-onion populations. The flowers of galanthum-cytoplasmic populations possess upwardly curved perianth and filaments with no anthers, making identification of male-sterile plants easier than for either S- or T- cytoplasmic male-sterile onion plants. Mean seed yield per bulb of the galanthum-cytoplasmic populations was measured in cages using blue-bottle flies (Calliphora erythrocephala Meig.) as pollinators and was not significantly different from one of two S-cytoplasmic male-sterile F1 lines, a T-cytoplasmic male-sterile inbred line, or N-cytoplasmic male-fertile lines. Male-sterile lines possessing either the S or galanthum cytoplasm were each crossed with populations known to be homozygous dominant and recessive at the nuclear locus conditioning male-fertility restoration of S cytoplasm and progenies were scored for male-fertility restoration.

Dans le cadre d’un programme consacré à la prévention et la recherche sur la maladie des Gros Os et mis en œuvre par la Kashin-Beck Disease Fund en Région Autonome du Tibet (R.P. Chine), une étude écologique a été développée dans la partie centro-méridionale au cours de 8 séjours de 2 à 3 semaines (1998- 2007). Elle a permis de dégager, puis de renforcer l’intérêt d’une approche agro-environnementale dans la compréhension et la prévention de cette maladie. Parallèlement, la connaissance ethnomycologique et ethnobotanique des Ü-Tsang de ce territoire a été recensée. Au-delà de la connaissance bien documentée des plantes médicinales et de l’ethnopharmacologie, connaissance qui sera très brièvement rappelée, l’étude a abordé des thèmes méconnus, tels que la reconnaissance des unités de végétation, la diversité des nourritures alternatives (champignons, herbes potagères, épices, plantes aromatiques, condiments, organes souterrains, fleurs et fruits charnus consommés), l’utilisation des plantes en phytotechnie et pour le bien-être domestique. Une attention particulière a été consacrée aux plantes tinctoriales et à celles utilisées pour l’encens. Enfin, les menaces pesant sur cette biodiversité sont dégagées et des suggestions pour une meilleure gestion sont énoncées.
