Viruses in garlic plants (Allium sativum L.) have accumulated and evolved over generations, resulting in serious consequences for the garlic trade around the world. These viral epidemics are also known to be caused by aphids and eriophyid mites (Aceria tulipae) carrying Potyviruses, Carlaviruses, and Allexiviruses. However, little is known about viral epidemics in garlic plants caused by eriophyid mites. Therefore, this study investigated the infection of garlic plants with Allexiviruses by eriophyid mites. When healthy garlic plants were cocultured with eriophyid mites, the leaves of the garlic plants developed yellow mosaic strips and became distorted. In extracts from the eriophyid mites, Allexiviruses were observed using immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM). From an immunoblot analysis, coat proteins against an Allexivirus garlic-virus antiserum were clearly identified in purified extracts from collected viral-infected garlic plants, eriophyid mites, and garlic plants infected by eriophyid mites. A new strain of GarV-B was isolated and named GarV-B Korea isolate 1 (GarV-B1). The ORF1 and ORF2 in GarV-B1 contained a typical viral helicase, RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp), and triple gene block protein (TGBp) for viral movement between cells. The newly identified GarV-B1 was phylogenetically grouped with GarV-C and GarV-X in the Allexivirus genus. All the results in this study demonstrated that eriophyid mites are a transmitter insect species for Allexiviruses.

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of farnesyl diphosphate, a precursor for many important terpenoid products. A cDNA encoding FPS was first isolated from Allium sativum (AsFPS) using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The sequence of AsFPS contains an open reading frame encoding a protein of 341 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 39.61 kDa. Alignment of AsFPS deduced amino acid revealed high identities with other plants ranging from 79% to 85% and showed 2-high conserved aspartate-rich motifs known to be important for FPS activity. Furthermore, AsFPS expression was stronger in the green organs such as bulbils, scapes, leaves, stems, but weaker in bulbs and roots than on-green organs of A. sativum.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant potential of garlic processed using different heat treatments conditions, which is an effective method for removing the unpleasant odor and taste of raw garlic. The pH and soluble solid content of raw garlic (pH 6.07, $7.7^{\circ}Bx$) were almost equal or slightly higher than that of processed garlic samples (pH 5.06-6.09, $7.1-7.4^{\circ}Bx$). The color of processed garlic was also significantly affected. The amounts of amino acids such as ${\gamma}$-amino-n-butyric acid and few essential amino acids also increased after the thermal treatment of garlic. The antioxidant potentials of red and black garlic were higher than that of raw garlic. The polyphenol content of processed garlic ($38.51-81.51{\mu}g$ gallic acid equivalent/g sample) was significantly higher than that of raw garlic ($30.66{\mu}g$ gallic acid equivalent/g sample). These results indicated that heat treatment for different durations under a controlled environment enhanced the nutritional and functional properties of garlic.

This study investigated the effect of allium vegetable intake on the storage and utilization of energy substrates before, during, and after exercise in tissues of rats. Ninety rats were fed either a control diet or a diet with added Allium sativum (AS, garlic), Allium cepa (AC, onion), Allium fistulosum (AF, spring onion), or Allium tuberosum (AT, Chinese chives) for 4 weeks and were then subdivided into 3 groups: before-exercise (BE); during-exercise (DE); after-exercise (AE). The DE group was exercised on treadmill for 1 hour just before being sacrificed at the end of 4th week of the dietary treatment rats in the AE group were allowed to recuperate for 2 hours after being exercised like the DE group. The levels of glycogen (GLY), triglyceride (TG) and protein (PRO) were compared in liver and skeletal muscle. In the AS diet animals, the level of liver GLY was significantly higher than those of control animals in the BE, DE and AE groups. The level of muscle TG also tended to be higher in BE, but lower in AE than in control animals. In AC animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. The level of muscle TG also tended to be higher than those of control animals in BE and DE but tended to be lower in AE. In AF animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. The level of muscle TG was also significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE groups. In AT animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. These results suggest that Allium sativum diets enhance the capacity to store fuel before as well as during exercise and increases the potential to utilize the stored fuel during exercise.

The leaf segments of garlic (Allium sativum L.) were cultured in vitro and determined optimal concentration of plant growth regulators and sugars for callus induction, multiple shoots regeneration and in vitro bulblet formation. Highest yield of callus was observed in the leaf segment culture on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose and 8 g/L agar. Regeneration rate of multiple shoots from callus was high in the MS medium supplemented with kinetin 3.0 + NAA 3.0 mg/L or SA 1.0 + NAA 3.0 mg/L, containing 30 g/L sucrose. High rate of bulblet formation was observed as the concentration of jasmonic acid increased from 0.5 to 2.0 mg/L in medium, whereas addition of gibberellic acid significantly suppressed bulblet formation. The rate of in vitro bulbing was as high as $96\%$ in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L jasmonic acid and 120 g/l sucrose after two month culture at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ under 16 hours day light.

We have employed chemical modification to identify amino acids essential for the catalytic activity of alliinase (EC 4.4.1.4) from garlic (Allium sativum). Alliinase degrades S-alkyl-L cysteine sulfoxides, causing the characteristic odor of garlic. The activity of alliinase was rapidly and completely inactivated by N-bromosuccinimide(NBS) and slightly decreased by succinic anhydride and N-acetylimidazole. These results indicate that tryptophanyl, lysyl, and tyrosyl residues play an important role in enzyme catalysis. The reaction of alliinase with NBA yielded a characteristic decrease in both the absorbance at 280 nm and the intrinsic fluorescence at 332 nm with increasing reagent concentration of NBS, consistent with the oxidation of tryptophan residues. Kinetic analysis, fluorometric titration of tryptophans and correlation to residual alliinase activity showed that modification of only one residue present on alliinase led to complete inhibition of alliinase activity. To identify this essential tryptophan residue, we employed chemical modification by NBS in the presence and absence of the protecting substrate analogue, S-ethyl-L-cysteine (SEC) and N-terminal sequence analysis of peptide fragment isolated by reverse phase-HPLC. A fragment containing residues 179-188 was isolated. We conclude that Trp182 is essential for alliinase activity.

A batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the removal capacity of welsh onion(Allium fistulosum L.), shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.), garlic (Allium sativum L.) roots as an adsorbent for Ni and Pb in aqueous solution. One gram of the dried Allium root powder was reacted in 100ml of solution containing 10mg of each heavy metal and effects of metal concentration, pH, temperature, and size of adsorbent on the removal efficiency were evaluated. The results were as follows ; The amount of adsorption of heavy metal ions were higher with the smaller particles size of adsorbent. Garlic root was high adsorption capacity of Pb, especially. The higher concentration of heavy metal solution was, the more amount of adsorption of heavy metals was. The adsorption ratio was differed from a kind of heavy metal. As the temperature increased, the amount of adsorption of Ni and Pb by shallot and welsh onion were decreased. The amount of adsorption of Ni was high under alkali conditions but the amount of adsorption of Pb was high under neutral and acidity condition.

The effects of the addition of herbs belonging to Allium species on the quality and storage characteristics of kamaboko were studied. The herbs employed in the study were garlic (Allium sativum for.Pekinenese Makino), leek(.Allium tuberosum Roth), onion(Allium cepa Linnaeus), and onion skin. water activity(Aw) , pH, TBA, VBN, microbial load, textural characteristics and sensory evaluation were tested. 1. Aw of all the samples decreased on storage, the Aw on lower day ranged from 0.937~o.950. All thesamples containing herbs retained the pH 6 ~7 during the entire storage period even though it decreased gradually on storage. 2. In general, TBA and VBN of the samples containing herbs were lower than the control. The sample containing 3% onion skin showed the lowest TBA and VBN value. 3. The total plate count of the samples containing herbs was low compared to the control even though the total count increased during the storage. The samples containing 3% garlic and 3% onion skin showed the lowest total plate count on 20 days of storage. 4. The sample with garlic showed remarkably low value in sensory evaluation. The samples containing onion and onion skin, however, reached to the high sensory points as storage period increased. They received high points in taste as well as overall acceptance.
