Genetic diversity assessment of Allium cepa L. cultivars from Bosnia and Herzegovina using SSR makers
Authors: Lutvija Kari??, Maryam Golzardi, Petar Glamo?lija, Jasmin ? utkovi??
The five most common cultivars from the genus Allium cepa L. in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) were analysed, focusing on Konjic onion. Seven SSR markers for genetic similarity analysis were used to address the genetic backgrounds. The polymorphic relationship between the SSR markers was analyzed by using Polymorphic Informatio..

Fertility restoration locus and cytoplasm types in onion
Authors: R.R. Ferreira, C.A.F. Santos and V.R. Oliveira
The objective of this study was the identification of the cytoplasmic types and the genotyping for the fertility restoration nuclear locus (Ms) in 59 onion accessions, aiming at the selection of ‘A’ and ‘B’ lines essential for the obtainment of hybrids. Three markers were used to identify the cytoplasm .. Read More»

Antigenotoxic and antimutagenic effects of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi in Allium cepa and Swiss mice: A comparative study
Authors: L.E.S. Fedel-Miyasato, A.S.N. Formagio, S.A. Auharek, C.A.L. Kassuya, S.D. Navarro, A.L. Cunha-Laura, A.C.D. Monreal, M.C. Vieira and R.J. Oliveira
It is estimated that 60% of anticancer drugs are derived directly or indirectly from medicinal plants. Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae) is traditionally used in Brazilian medicine to treat inflammation, ulcers, and tumors. Because of the need to identify new antimutagenic agents and to determine their mechanism o.. Read More»

Mutagenic potential of water from Pelotas Creek in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Authors: T.C.O. Santos1, L.F. Maciel1, K.S. Leal1, A.E.N. Bender1, T.S. Paiva1,G.L. Garcias2 and M.G. Martino-Roth1
Water resource degradation is one of mankind’s greatest worries, as it causes direct and indirect damage to the associated biota. We initiated a water monitoring study in Pelotas Creek in 2003 in order to assess the mutagenic effect of the creek’s waters. Allium cepa cells exposed to water samples and a chronically exposed macrophyte were anal.. Read More»

Genotoxic potential of leaf extracts of Jatropha gossypiifolia L.
Authors: P.M. Almeida1,2, S.S. Ara?ºjo1, I.R.M.R. Santos1, M.A. Marin-Morales3,A.M. Benko-Iseppon1, A.V. Santos4, K.P. Randau4 and A.C. Brasileiro-Vidal1
Jatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) is widely used in popular medicine. However, further toxicological studies are necessary for its reliable use. The present study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects of ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of J. gossypiifolia, using the test system Allium cepa. In addition, the phytoche.. Read More»

Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac), with or without vitamins A and C, in plant and animal model systems
Authors: E. D?¼sman, I.V. Almeida, R.G. Mariucci, M.S. Mantovani andV.E.P. Vicentini
Fluoxetine, commonly known as Prozac, is the first representative of the so-called new generation of antidepressants that promise efficacy, with few side effects, against deep depression, nervous bulimia, and anxiety. As there is a growing number of people suffering from anxiety and depression; consequently, the use of fluoxet.. Read More»

Increasing mutagenicity of S?£o Gon?§alo Channel waters based on the Allium cepa test
Authors: T.S. Paiva G.L. Garcias M.G. Martino-Roth
The São Gonçalo Channel is of great importance to the conservation of local biodiversity; it also is a water supply source of the city of Pelotas, Brazil, and the surrounding region. We examined the mutagenic activity of its waters. The following items were seasonally investigated in Allium cepa root radicular me.. Read More»

Pathogenicity for onion and genetic diversity of isolates of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Phyllachoraceae) from the State of Pernambuco, Brazil
Authors: M.X. Vila Nova, L.R. Borges, A.C.B. de Sousa, B.T.R.V. Brasileiro, E.A.L.A. Lima, A.F. da Costa and N.T. de Oliveira
Onion anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is one of the main diseases of onions in the State of Pernambuco. We examined the pathogenicity of 15 C. gloeosporioides strains and analyzed their genetic variability using RAPDs and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the rDNA region. Ten of the strains were obta.. Read More»
