This work was designed to assess and compare the heavy metals accumulation phytoremediation ability of some allium species (Garlic; Allium sativum Onion; cepa) grown on two different soils (contaminated Control soils) using standard methods. Heavy (of Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) Concentrations (mg/Kg) were determined atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS Model: 210VGP). Plants growth biomass pro...

Garlic common latent virus (GarCLV, Carlavirus), in co-infection, often worsens the severity of other Allium viruses on garlic (Allium sativum Linnaeus). The nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequences TGB CP genes were analysed to get first deep insight into genomic variations population structure GarCLV. Global recombinant-free isolates clustered three clades both nt-based phylogenetic tree...

Garlic (Allium sativum) is propagated asexually. Since sexual cross breeding is almost impossible, means for effective breeding are not currently available and the available production cultivars are seriously aged and degenerated. A possible alternative for breeding is chemical induction. Trifluralin, a type of herbicide, has been reported to provoke chromosome doubling. However, this che...

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a popular spice, a remedy for a variety of ailments and is also known for its medicinal uses as an antibiotic, antithrombotic and antineoplastic agent. Epidemiological and animal studies have shown that garlic consumption reduces the incidence of cancer e.g. in the stomach, colon, breast and cervix. The aim of this study was to investigate whether garlic extract has a...

This study was conducted to investigate the cholesterol-lowering property of garlic (Allium Sativum) in whole blood of egg yolk induced hypercholesterolemia in rabbits. Forty rabbits of both sexes of 13.1 ± 28.4 weeks of age with average body weights of 1251.9 ± 512.2g were used for the experiment. The animals were divided into eight groups comprising control and seven experimental groups with ...

The ability of some pathogenic bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance has become a global health challenge, and there is an increasing rate against the available drug. This study aimed determine inhibitory effect Allium sativum (Garlic) Zingiber officinale (Ginger) extracts on clinical bacteria. Four different concentrations (125mg/ml, 250mg/ml, 500mg/ml, 1000mg/ml) each extract were tested ...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that results in hyperglycemia due to decreased insulin production or inefficient insulin utilization. This disease has been reported in animals, particularly in aged dogs. However, the disorder is much more prevalent in humans. Millions of people across the globe currently have diabetes and incidence rates are predicted to increase dramatically as the p...
