Increased consumption of artificial and intense natural sweeteners have led to serious health implications safety issues for intended consumers. Among all sweeteners, steviol glycosides (SGs: stevioside & rebaudioside-A) are popularly known as zero-caloric sweetening compounds origin. Hot water extraction (HWE) is considered ecofriendly less expensive, HWE extracts safe human compared organic s...

This review outlines the potential for developing a reliable transformation system for onions (Allium cepa). A summary of the onion tissue culture literature is presented along with descriptions of the gene transfer systems available. The most suitable regulatory sequences and selective genes that could be used for onion transformation are described, together with the problems which may be enco...

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...

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...

effect of different amounts of sulfur fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) and 200 kg/ha of thiobacillus inoculant on yield, quality and storability of two edible onion cultivars red rey and white qom were investigated. the experiments were conducted at experimental field and laboratories of the department of horticulture, seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran in 2007-08 cro...

Two mild and two pungent onion (Allium cepa L.) selections (hereafter referred to as cultitypes), W420B, W424B, MSU8155B, and Exhibition, were grown at two locations in two states (Wisconsin and Oregon) during 1994 and 1995. Onion bulbs were harvested, stored at 4 °C and sampled for antiplatelet activity, pungency, and soluble solids 10 days after harvest and every 40 days during a 210-day post...
