Interphase nucleoli from Vicia faba and Allium cepa meristematic cells are roughly classified into two categories: (a) those that commonly show a rather homogeneous texture (except for small light spaces of various sizes) and frequently contain dense particles 140 A in diameter; (b) those found more frequently in Vicia characterized by a very sharp boundary between a dense outer cortex and a mu...

We present a hitherto unknown fundamental limitation to a basic measurement: that of the position of a quantum object when the total momentum of the object and apparatus is conserved. This result extends the famous Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem, and shows that accurate position measurements are only practically feasible if there is a large momentum uncertainty in the apparatus.

The aim of this study was the isolation and structural elucidation of steroidal glycosides from the underground parts of ramson Allium ursinum L. The structures of the isolated compounds were established based upon chromatographic methods and 1D- and 2D-NMR, MS and IR analyses. The mixture of two steroidal saponins: (25R)-spirost-5-en-3b-ol tetrasaccharide and (25R)-spirost-5, 25(27)-dien-3b-ol...

Thiosulfinates (TSs) have been implicated as a principle source of the antiplatelet property of raw onion and garlic juice. The in vitro responses of human platelets to dosages of four TSs were measured using whole blood aggregometry and compared by regression analysis. Of the compounds evaluated, methyl methane-TS (MMTS), propyl propane-TS (PPTS), and 2-propenyl 2-propene-TS (allicin) are pres...

Allium hirtifolim (Persian Shallot) belongs to Allium genus (Alliaceae family). We investigated the in vitro effects of chloroformic extract of A. hirtifolium and its Allicin on the proliferation of HeLa (cervical cancer), MCF7 (human, caucasion, breast, adenocarcinoma) and L929 (mouse, C3H/An, connective) cell lines. Our results showed that components of A. hirtifolium might inhibit proliferat...

Crops have been important to humankind for purposes other than simply sustaining life through calories and nutrients. Many of the earliest domesticates served multiple purposes besides food (Meyer et al., 2012), including providing for shelter, textile, medicinal, or spiritual needs. In some cases, medicinal uses may have preceded their use as food crops (Rubatzky and Yamaguchi, 1997; Smartt an...
