seventeen iranian shallot genotypes from ashtian, arak, boroujerd, dashtearjan, doshmanziari, divandareh, khomein, khansar, sepidan, siakhdarengoon, sahne, kangavar, koohrang, koohmaresorkhi, nahavand, harsin and yasouj areas were evaluated for their morphological traits. corms were collected from the mentioned regions and planted based on a complete block design. quantitative and qualitative t...

Objective(s) We determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with Iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). Materials and Methods Following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (Fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. The first subgro...

To develop the bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.; genomes, FF) chromosome-specific genetic markers for identifying extra chromosomes, eight shallot (A. cepa L. Aggregatum group; genomes, AA)--A. fistulosum monosomic addition plants (AA+nF) and 62 shallot--A. fistulosum single-alien deletion plants (AAF-nF) were analyzed by 23 different chromosome-specific genetic markers of shallot. The eigh...

BACKGROUND Quercetin and quercetin glycosides are widely consumed flavonoids found in many fruits and vegetables. These compounds have a wide range of potential health benefits, and understanding the bioavailability of flavonoids from foods is becoming increasingly important. METHODS This study combined an in vitro digestion, a lactase treatment and the Caco-2 cell model to examine quercetin ...

To study antimicrobial activity of shallot in comparison with that of garlic and onion against 23 strains of fungi and bacteria, water extracts of garlic, shallot and onion bulbs were prepared. Each extract was studied in different forms for their antimicrobial activity viz., fresh extract, dry extract and autoclaved extract. Minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal lethal concentrations of...

diversity of durum wheat (triticum turgidum ssp. durum) germplasm was evaluated using simple sequence repeat (ssr) markers. one hundred and forty durum wheat genotypes of diverse origin (belonging to ten countries) were assessed using 48 selected ssrs with whole genome coverage. a total of 245 allelic variants were detected at 37 polymorphic ssr loci, ranging from two to seventeen per locus wit...

The geographical variation in Helicobacter pylori genotypes is an observed phenomenon. Cytotoxin associated genes A (cagA) and E (cagE), and vacuolating cytotoxin (vacA) genotypes of H. pylori are associated with peptic ulcer disease (PUD). This study compared the distribution of these genotypes in Iranian and Afghani isolates and their association with clinical outcomes. H. pylori infected pat...
