Research of Edible Fungi in Shanghai

The modern edible fungi study in China was originated in Shanghai. The Edible Fungi Institute (EFI) under the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Science has made many breakthroughs in the Chinese edible fungi study. EFI has succeeded in getting pure spawns, has diversified the cultivation varieties of edible fungi by domesticating wild mushrooms, and has developed the bag cultivation technology. ...

The antisickling effects of some edible vegetables

The antisickling effects of the extracts of three vegetables highly consumed in Nigeria were investigated which included: Allium cepa (Onion), Allium sativum (Garlic) and Telferia occidentalis (Ugu). The extracts were partitioned into, the fat-soluble (FAS), the water-soluble (WAS), the butanol-soluble (BUS) and the crude aqueous extracts (CAEs) respectively.

For a comprehensive review of this the reader is referred to FRIES (2) and SCHLENKER (7). The writers (5) have referred briefly to this subject; the present paper reports a more exhaustive study. ...
