In this study, the effects of benomyl, a systemic fungicide were investigated in the mitotic cell division in onion (Allium cepa) root tip cells during germination. For this aim, different concentrations (1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 mM) of benomyl solutions were used. All the concentrations used caused several abnormalities in mitotic cell divisions and the mitotic frequency in the onion root tip cells ...

This paper utilizes a comparative case study design to examine a regional onion market. The particular case of onion markets is used to understand perishable product supply chains. The site for the study is Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Results from a sixmonth field study are outlined. In particular, the findings suggest that firms should examine adding additional destinations to their supply ch...

Tor is a communications infrastructure widely used for unfettered and anonymous access to Internet websites. Tor is also used to access sites on the .onion virtual domain. The focus of .onion use and discussion has traditionally been on the offering of hidden services, services that separate their reachability from the identification of their IP addresses. We argue that Tor’s .onion system can ...

This study was purposed to investigate the effect of onion or beet on plasma and liver lipids, erythrocyte Na efflux channels and platelet aggregation in simvastatin (SIM) treated hypercholesterolemic rats. Forty Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups and fed 0.5% cholesterol based diets containing 2 mg/kg BW simvastatin or simvastatin with 5% onion or beet powder. Plasma total chole...

Rontani and coauthors here present a detailed lipid analyses on surface sediments off the Mackenzie River in Arctic Canada. They provide interesting insights into abiotic and biotic degradation processes by using (the degradation products of) a range of sterols and monounsaturated fatty acids in this environment. The authors appear knowledgeable in lipid chemistry and interpretation of lipid pa...

BACKGROUND As one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides in vegetable production, phoxim (C(12)H(15)N(2)O(3)PS) is often found as residues in crops and soils and thus poses a potential threat to public health and environment. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may make a contribution to the decrease of organophosphate residues in crops and/or the degradation in soils, but such effe...

Trust-based onion routing employs users’ own trust to circumvent compromised onion routers. However, it runs a high risk of being deanonymized by the inference attacks based on a priori trust relationships. In this paper, we first observe that the onion routers with higher trust degrees (e.g., those that are trusted by more other users) are more effective in defending against the inference atta...

abstract iris yellow spot virus (iysv) is one of the important pathogens of onion in reported countries. host range of this virus is very wide and transmitted by onion thrips (thrips tabaci). in survey that was conducted in summer 2006 in onion fields of mashhad, samples with viral symptoms and high population of thrips have been collected. since the symptoms were similar to iysv, special antis...
