and that it is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium worldwide? This crop is an herbaceous bulbous plant that is cultivated for bulb production either as biannual or perennial, depending on the cultivation conditions. ...
Whether you are new to growing indoors or a seasoned professional, one thing is for certain – you can’t take your eye off the ball with pest control! One of the most common pests to plague our grow rooms are the white aphid. Secondary to those are black aphids, which are very similar. If you’ve not experienced an aphid attack yet then count yourself lucky. There is no surefire ...
Introduction: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the auto expanding Allium® Ureteral Stent (URS) in the endourological management of UPJ stenosis and ureteric ...
In this study, we report the results of the use of a newly developed prostatic stent—the Allium™ Triangular Prostatic Stent (TPS). Patients and Methods: The Allium TPS is a highly flexible, nitinol-built polymer-covered stent, which prevents tissue ingrowth and reduces encrustations. ...
The biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and total organic carbon were improved considerably as a result of biodegradation of textile effluents, which were beyond the permissible limits established by the National Environmental Quality Standards before treatment. The cytotoxicity (Allium cepa, hemolytic, Daphnia magna and brine shrimp), ...
Toxicity study of the effluent using Allium cepa by single cell gel electrophoresis showed detoxification of the effluent. ...
The present study addressed the effects of ionic Cu (2.0 µM and 8.0 µM) on mitosis, microtubule cytoskeleton and DNA in root tip cells of Allium cepa var. agrogarum L., in order to better understand Cu toxicity on plant root systems. ...
The effect of UV‐A irradiated or non‐irradiated suspensions of agglomerates of TiO2 or SiO2 nanoparticles on roots of the onion (Allium cepa) has been studied. The reactive potential of TiO2 nanoparticles which have photocatalytic potential and the non‐photocatalytic SiO2 nanoparticles with the same size of agglomerates was compared. ...
Levels of phenolics increased until day 2 of testing, thereby reducing days until end of analysis. Keywords: Allium cepa, pigments, minimal processing, postharvest vegetables, conservation technology, chlorophyll, anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, fresh–cut onions, white onions, purple onions, Pombal, Brazil, onion selection, catophilos removal, sanitising, rinsing, ...
Keywords: postharvest, temperature, relative humidity, water percentage, soluble solids, cultivars, Aspergillus niger, onion bulbs, Allium cepa ...
Onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) wastes from market and food canning processes were used for adsorption of Pb2+, Sn2+, Fe2+, Hg2+, As3+ and Cd2+ from multi–component systems at different adsorbent/metal ion ratios. ...
In this study, we analysed the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of treated tannery wastewater using the micronucleus (MN) test in fish erythrocytes (Bryconamericus iheringii) and the Allium cepa test system. Fish were exposed to three different concentrations of tannery effluent (2, 5 and 10%) for 3 and 6 days. ...
The toxicity of metronidazole (MTZ) in meristematic and elongation zones of Allium cepa roots was analyzed for 30 h of exposition. Toxic effects were evaluated by lipid peroxidation (content of thiobarbituric‐reactive substances [TBARS]), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, ascorbate acid and dehydroascorbate acid content, and enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase and ...
The patient was referred for an Allium round posterior urethral stent (RPS) placement. Description of the Allium RPS Stent The Allium RPS system is indicated for the management of bladder outlet obstruction in adult males. ...
Moreover, the evaluation of chromosome aberrations (CA), micronucleus frequencies (MN) and mitotic index (IM) in Allium cepa cells were used as genotoxicity indicators. The results indicate that the effluents from the anaerobic reactor are amenable to aerobic polishing. ...
Two crops were grown in succession, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and a mixed-cropped strawberry–onion (Fragaria vesca L.–Allium cepa L.). Total organic carbon (TOC), Kjeldahl-N, bicarbonate-extractable P (Olsen-P), ammonium acetate extractable-potassium (AAE-K), microbial biomass carbon (Cmic), and enzyme activity (dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, protease, and alkaline ...
Furthermore, the wastewaters were also screened for genotoxicity using Allium cepa assay to assess the risk associated with the discharge of untreated pharmaceutical wastewaters into the environment. ...
