ROSSELLÓ , Mohamed BOUSSAID 1 Department of Biology, College of Sciences, Northern Border University, Arar, Saudi Arabia 2 Laboratory of Plant Biotechnology, National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, University of Carthage, Tunis, Tunisia 3 Botanical Garden, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain Received: 27.08.2014 Accepted/Published Online: 02.04.2015 Printed: 30.09.2015 Abstract: In North Africa, Allium roseum L. has been treated as a polymorphic species comprising 12 different taxa. More than 80 individuals in the Allium roseum complex were sampled from 20 populations at different localities in Tunisia and investigated karyologically. Basic chromosome number was confirmed as x = 8. Three cytotypes, diploid (2n = 2x = 16), triploid (2n = 3x = 24), and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 32), were found. Polyploidy was recorded for the first time for this species in Tunisia. Most of the populations were diploid (17 populations), whereas two populations were tetraploid and only one was triploid. The chromosome set of studied populations is nonuniform at the species level and within cytotypes. The 45S and 5S ribosomal genes (rDNA) were visualized by fluorescent in situ hybridization for the A. roseum polyploid complex. The diploid showed three loci 45S rDNA; the triploid and tetraploid showed 9 and 12 signals, respectively. However, 5S rDNA showed 2 signals for the diploid genome and 4 signals for both triploid and tetraploid.

Recently, an effort has been made for an objective definition of “traditional foods”, aimed at setting a scientific and regulatory approach to their study and management. From a semantic point of view, however, tradition is a complex of uses, habits and ways of life that are transmitted across generations, often through oral communication. Traditional facts are therefore intrinsically local and diverse, escaping deterministic classification; sometimes they reveal striking converging features, depending on common environmental and cultural constraints.

  • Allium Flavonols: Health Benefits, Molecular Targets, and Bioavailability
    antioxidants Review Allium Flavonols: Health Benefits, Molecular Targets, and Bioavailability Damini Kothari, Woo-Do Lee and Soo-Ki Kim * Department of Animal Science and Technology, Konkuk University, Seoul 05029, Korea; [email protected] (D.K.); [email protected] (W.-D.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-450-3728 Received: 14 August 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 19 September 2020 Abstract: Allium species are revered worldwide as vegetables, condiments, and spices as well as the therapeutic agents in traditional medicine. The bioactive compounds in alliums mainly include organosulfur compounds, polyphenols, dietary fibers, and saponins. Flavonoids, particularly flavonols from alliums, have been demonstrated to have the antioxidant, anticancer, hypolipidemic, anti-diabetic, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial activities. However, flavonols are mostly characterized from onions and have not been comprehensively reviewed across different species. This article therefore focuses on flavonol profiles from different Allium species, their health effects, underlying molecular mechanisms, and bioavailability. Intriguingly, the functional health effects of flavonols were mainly ascribed to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities involving a cascade of multiple signaling pathways. Although the Allium-derived flavonols offer tremendous potential in preventing chronic disease risks, in-depth studies are needed to translate their clinical application. Keywords: Allium; flavonols; health benefits; antioxidant effects; molecular targets; bioavailability 1. Introduction Chronic diseases pose a huge burden on global health care system and economy accounting for nearly seventy percent of pre-mature mortality en masse [1]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor dietary habits which include consumption of foods with low-nutrient density and high in fat, sugar, and salt as well as overall calories, are one of the major contributors to the leading causes of chronic illness and related deaths [1,2].

  • The Herbarium – a Data Source for Allium Genus Species
    Research Journal of Agricultural Science, 50 ( 1), 2017 THE HERBARIUM – A DATA SOURCE FOR ALLIUM GENUS SPECIES V. SCĂRLĂTESCU1, Diana VASILE2, I. VOICULESCU3 1- INCDS ~Marin Drăcea~Mihăești, [email protected] 2- INCDS ~Marin Drăcea- Brașov, [email protected] , corresponding author 3- INCDS ~Marin Drăcea-București, [email protected] Abstract . Allium is an extremely diversified genus that encompasses more than 750 species almost exclusively distributed in the North hemisphere (Mediterranean Europe, Asia, North America, South America and sub-Saharan Africa). The Allium genus includes some species that are economically valuable and cultivated worldwide, such as the common onion, garlic, scallion or chive. Other species have important medicinal properties or are used in horticulture. The purpose of this paper is to inventory the Allium genus species present in the Al. Beldie Herbarium from INCDS ”Marin Drăcea” Bucharest and describe some of them. The Herbarium host 111 plates that contain 56 Allium genus species. Most plates belong to Allium schoenoprasum L, Allium oleraceum L. and Allium ursinum L. and the most Allium genus species were gathered in 1932 and 1942. A large number of plates are signed by Al. Beldie, while others belong to S. Pașcovski, Al. Borza, C. C.Georgescu and were gathered from Italy (Naples, Sicily), Bulgaria, Alps or Pyrenees and from Romania from Bucegi Mountains (most of them), Băile Herculane, Iași, Tulcea. The herbarium offers a unique perspective for the Allium genus species in regard with their location-temporal dynamic. The information can be used as a starting point for comparing distribution changes from the past and the future.

  • Karyotype Analysis of Some Allium Species in Iran
    Journal of Plant Physiology and Breeding 2019, 9(2): 115-127 ISSN: 2008-5168 Karyotype analysis of some Allium species in Iran Katayoon Oroji Salmasi 1, Hamideh Javadi2 and Seied Mehdi Miri1* Received: December 4, 2019 Accepted: December 31, 2019 1Department of Horticulture, Karaj Branch, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran. 2Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization, Tehran, Iran. *Corresponding author; Email: [email protected] Abstract The karyotypes of 10 species (15 accessions) of Allium from Iran were investigated using the squash technique and 1% (w/v) aceto-iron-hematoxylin stain. The basic chromosome number was x = 8, and only in A. giganteum (1) x = 7. Karyotypes of 14 taxa of Allium were diploid with 2n = 16; only A. macrochaetum was tetraploid with 2n = 32. Satellite chromosomes were seen in A. asarense. All karyotypes were symmetrical, consisting of metacentric and submetacentric chromosome pairs. Only A. caspium and A. stipitatum (1) had subtelocentric chromosomes. Karyotype analysis according to Stebbins categories placed the studied taxa in symmetric classes of 1A and 2A, indicating a symmetric karyotype. The results of the analysis of variance showed significant differences for total chromosome length (TCL), mean chromosome length (CL), long arm length (LA), short arm length (SA) and intrachromosomal asymmetry index (A1). The longest chromosome length was detected on A. asarense, A. elburzense, A. giganteum (3), A. rotundum and A. stipitatum (3) (17.9-19.7 μm), while A. ampeloperasum demonstrated the shortest value (8.2 μm). Results of cluster analysis based on chromosomal parameters classified the taxa into four groups using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA).

The obtained results indicated that the highest compound 3, 4-dihidroksi benzoic acid with 166.2 µg/g in extracts. The ethanolic extracts had the highest phenolic content and acetone extracts had the lowest fenolic content. In the β-carotene-linoleic acid test system, bulb methanol (ABM) and leaf methanol (ALM) extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity. The mean antioxidant activity of ABM and ALM were 75.76±1.22% and 73.42±1.03%, respectively. The highest ferric-reducing power of extract (ABM) was determined 12.75±0.010 trolox equivalent (mg/g). Methanolic extract (ALM) exhibited a dose-dependent scavenging of DPPH and ABTS radicals with IC50 values of 0.512±0.003 mg/mL and 0.378±0.002 mg/mL respectively. Very strong reduction of gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus growth were observed during incubation of bacteria in bulb extracts (MIC was 20±1.01 μg/mL). The brine shrimp lethality assay of bulb extract has showed good toxic to brine shrimp nauplii, with LC50 of 3.987 μg/mL. The bulb extract of A. reuterianum showed highest larvicidal activity against Cx.
