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. -

7th February 2015 Welcome to my new seed trade list for 2014-15. 12, 13 and 14 in brackets indicates the harvesting year for the seed. Concerning seed quantity: as I don't have many plants of each species, seed quantity is limited in most cases. Therefore, for some species you may only get a few seeds. Many species are harvested in my garden. Others are surplus from trade and purchase. OUT: Means out of stock. Sometimes I sell surplus seed (if time allows), although this is unlikely this season. NB! Cultivars do not always come true. I offer them anyway, but no guarantees to what you will get! Botanical Name (year of harvest) NB!

Email: [email protected] Received: 06 February 2015, Revised and Accepted: 04 March 2015 ABSTRACT Garlic, a very common condiment found in our kitchens has immense therapeutic potential. It has been used since ages in different civilizations and eras for therapy in diverse conditions. However, somewhere down the lane, its health benefits were forgotten with very few researchers doing studies on it and demonstrating its benefits in various disorders of the cardiovascular, respiratory, central, and peripheral nervous systems including dermatological and reproductive disorders. However, with a boom in the Nutraceutical industry in the past few decades, renewed interest has been generated in this age-old remedy with it becoming a very popular health supplement. This review focuses on the health benefits of this wonder food. It also emphasizes the need to find the right therapeutic dose at which it can be therapeutically beneficial and paves the way for future research. Keywords: Garlic, Antioxidant, Dementia, Lipid lowering. INTRODUCTION Garlic was also used for treatment of gastrointestinal and joint disorders, seizures, and animal bites. Medical care in Rome was greatly Garlic is a common household kitchen condiment used very often to add influenced by the writings of Pliny the Elder who wrote an extensive taste to our food. However, what is very interesting to note is that it is compilation of remedies, the natural history which was first printed in one of the earliest plants documented in the literature for its beneficial 77 CE and translated several times. -

From here we followed the milky glacial meltwaters of the Lutschine River to Lauterbrunnen where we boarded the train for the last leg of our journey to Wengen, perched high on the alp above. It was a short walk to our hotel where we had time to settle in and admire the amazing scenery. It had been a very hot day with temperatures in the mid-30s and, as we enjoyed our evening meal on the terrace, we were treated to a superb alpenglow on the Jungfrau. Day 2 Monday 27th June The hot sunny weather of yesterday looked set to continue, so we took the cable-car up to Mannlichen. We were immediately in a different world, surrounded by a panorama of mountains, dominated by the imposing north faces of the Jungfrau and Eiger, and with a wealth of alpine flowers at our feet. -
Ail Rocambole - Wikipédia
25/02/13 Ail rocambole - Wikipédia Ail rocambole L'ail rocambole est le nom commun pour désigner deux espèces différentes du genre Allium : l'espèce Ail rocambole cultivée Allium sativum subsp. ophioscorodon et l'espèce sauvage Allium scorodoprasum. Ce sont des plantes herbacées vivaces par leur bulbe et caractérisé par des bulbilles florales. Description Allium scorodoprasum est une plante haute de 20 à 40 cm. Feuilles à limbe allongé, tubulaire, naissant toutes du bulbe, à gaines membraneuses, embrassantes, emboîtées les unes dans les autres. L'odeur, forte en soufre, se développe dès que les tissus sont écrasés. La tige florale est contournée en spirale en sa partie supérieure et se termine par une inflorescence renfermées avant la floraison dans une spathe écailleuse. Les fleurs sont blanchâtres ou rosées, Allium scorodoprasum groupées, mêlées à des bulbilles. Classification de Cronquist (1981) Son bulbe est formé de caïeux (gousses), ovoïdes, oblongs, comprimés latéralement, un peu arqués et Règne Plantae renfermés dans une tunique commune. Sous-règne Tracheobionta Allium sativum subsp. ophioscorodon est un groupe Division Magnoliophyta d'ail cultivé (groupe IV) aux caïeux généralement assez gros s'épluchant facilement et au gout très prononcé. Classe Liliopsida La plante est haute de 40 à 60 cm. La tige florale est Sous-classe Liliidae contourné, formant une ou deux boucles. Il est très cultivé en Europe de l'Est aussi bien pour ses gousses Ordre Liliales que pour ces feuilles et tiges florales. Famille Liliaceae Certaines variétés d'ails cultivés du groupe I dit "à tige dure" portent aussi parfois le nom de rocambole par Genre Allium analogie mais leurs hampe florale n'est jamais Nom binominal consommée. -
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. -

Isolation and Identification of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria On
Isolation and Identification of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria on Allium caeruleum Jordan Caine Lena Hunt S08 10 April 2013 Introduction Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are bacteria that live on the root and root hairs of plants. PGPRs either directly promote plant growth or provide protection against harmful environmental factors (Lugtenberg, et. al., 2009.) Some PGPRs are known as biofertilizers, and can increase the concentration of mineral nutrients and efficiency of nutrient uptake for plants (Vessey, 2002.) For limiting nutrients such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus, these bacteria can provide greater access to usable nutrients either by fixing nitrogen or solubilizing phosphorus (Orhan, et. al., 2006.) Other PGPRs help the plant by controlling pathogenic organisms such a fungi (Lugtenberg, et. al. 2009.) PGPRs also gain nutrients from the plant to survive, creating a symbiotic relationship. The Allium caeruleum plant was chosen to examine the PGPRs present on the root system. This plant was chosen because it is abundant on the Loyola Marymount campus, has an extensive root system and is relevant to the nearby habitat. A. caeruleum is a species of onion, commonly known as the blue globe onion; it is native to California and produces clusters of bright blue flowers. The blue globe onion is a perennial monocot. The techniques chosen to examine the PGPRs of the A. caeruleum included plating the isolated bacteria on certain medias that would indicate for specific PGPRs. The plates would test for plant growth promoting properties including phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, IAA production, cellulase production, and ACC deaminase activity. The sixteen initial isolates were narrowed down to three for continued study.
