Garlic scape, an alternative food with human health benefits
(ISHS, 2012-12)Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used as a medicinal agent for thousands of years. Attributes like, antioxidant properties, heart disease prevention, including atherosclerosis, and also reduction of both plasma cholesterol ... -
Genetic analysis of a garlic (Allium sativum L.) germplasm collection from Argentina
(Elsevier, 2012-05)Although garlic spreads asexually, it shows a wide diversity for physiologic, morphologic and agronomic characters, due to the accumulation of mutations. Our objective was to examine the genetic diversity of a collection ... -
Genetic diversity of squash landraces (Cucurbita maxima) collected in Andean Valleys of Argentina = Diversidad genética de poblaciones de zapallo (Cucurbita maxima) colectadas en los valles andinos de la Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2020-06)Squash landraces (Cucurbita maxima) are maintained by small farmers as a major nutritional food. Twenty seven of these landraces were collected in Argentinian Andean Valleys and morphologically characterized. Genetic ... -
Genetic structure and domestication of carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) (Apiaceae)
(2013-05)• Premise of the study: Analyses of genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships illuminate the origin and domestication of modern crops. Despite being an important worldwide vegetable, the genetic structure and ... -
A high-quality carrot genome assembly provides new insights into carotenoid accumulation and asterid genome evolution
(2016)We report a high-quality chromosome-scale assembly and analysis of the carrot (Daucus carota) genome, the first sequenced genome to include a comparative evolutionary analysis among members of the euasterid II clade. We ... -
In vivo and in vitro screening for resistance against Penicillium allii in garlic accessions
(Springer, 2019-11-14)Garlic blue mold disease, caused by Penicillium allii, is responsible for important economic losses produced yearly in garlic field crops and in postharvest storage. The identification of genetic resistance sources may ... -
Influence of Fusarium spp. isolate and inoculum density on resistance screening tests in onion
(Brazilian Phytopathological Society, 2014)Fusarium basal rot (FBR), which is caused predominantly by Fusarium oxysporum and F. proliferatum, is the main limiting factor of onion crops. Resistant cultivars obtained in other countries do not behave as such in ... -
Influence of Seed Vigor and Preplant Herbicides on Emergence, Growth, and Yield of Tomato
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 1990-03)The interactions of seed vigor with herbicides were studied with respect to seedling emergence, growth, and fruit yield of processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. UC204C). Seed vigor (speed of germination) ... -
Inheritance of Vernalization Requirement in Carrot
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2007-07)Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a cool-season vegetable normally classified as a biennial or winter annual species, requiring vernalization to induce flowering. Nevertheless, some cultivars adapted to warmer climates require ... -
Loss of anthocyanins and modification of the anthocyanin profiles ingrape berries of Malbec and Bonarda grown under high temperature conditions
(2017)Malbec and Bonarda are the two most widely cultivated grape varieties in Argentina, and their derivedred wines are recognized worldwide, being their intense color a major quality trait. The temperature dur-ing fruit ripening ... -
Microsatellite analysis and marker development in garlic: distribution in EST sequence, genetic diversity analysis, and marker transferability across Alliaceae
(2018-04)Allium vegetables, such as garlic and onion, have understudied genomes and limited molecular resources, hindering advances in genetic research and breeding of these species. In this study, we characterized and compared the ... -
Molecular mapping of vernalization requirement and fertility restoration genes in carrot
(2013-02)Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a cool-season vegetable normally classified as a biennial species, requiring vernalization to induce flowering. Nevertheless, some cultivars adapted to warmer climates require less vernalization ... -
Multiallelic digenic control of vernalization requirement in carrot (Daucus carota L.)
(Springer, 2019-02)Carrots are typically classified as annual or biennial, depending on their vernalization requirement for flowering, a trait that is genetically-conditioned. Wild carrots are predominantly annual, requiring less hours of ... -
Nectar and flower traits of different onion male sterile lines related to pollination efficiency and seed yield of F1 hybrids
(Entomological Society of America, 2013-06)Honey bees are the main pollinators of onion crops for seed production, but owing to low attractiveness of flowers, pollination is often inadequate. Pollination problems result in low seed yields. This problem is accentuated ... -
New insight into how thigmomorphogenesis affects Epipremnum aureum plant development
(2018-09)Climbing Epipremnum aureum plants develop larger leaves than unsupported, hanging plants. This effect may be regarded, in part, as a thigmomorphogenic response, but gravimorphogenetic effect may also be involved, since ... -
Nitric oxide and abscisic acid regulate osmoprotective and antioxidative mechanisms related to water stress tolerance of grapevines
(Wiley, 2021-03)Background and Aims: Exogenously applied nitric oxide (NO) and abscisic acid (ABA) are known to improve the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. The effects of NO and ABA applications on physiological and metabolic ... -
Nutritional quality of orange tomatoes for fresh consumption and processing products
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017)In Argentina, commercial tomatoes for fresh consumption as well for processed products traditionally have red fruits. Although other fruit colors (yellow, purple) are present in the “cherry” types, orange tomatoes for ... -
Onion Cultivars Released by La Consulta Experiment Station, INTA, Argentina
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2000-12)The onion crop is of great importance in Argentina and, with garlic (Allium sativum L.), is the main fresh vegetable exported. The principal market for Argentine onions is Brazil, with significant exports to Europe and the ... -
Onion Hybrid Seed Production: Relation with Nectar Composition and Flower Traits
(2018-05)Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the main vegetable crops. Pollinators are required for onion seed production, being honeybees the most used. Around the world, two types of onion varieties are grown: open pollinated (OP) ... -
Organosulfur and phenolic content of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) and its relationship with antioxidant activity
(2016)Garlic and onion have a role in decreasing risks of chronic diseases due to their antioxidant activity. These biological effects have been attributed in part to organosulfur and flavonoid compounds present in Allium. The ...
