Abstract
Comparative assessment of the antimicrobial activity of widespread and endemic species of the genus Allium growing in Tajikistan.
Highlights
According to the APG III system of flowering plant classification, developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG), published in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society of London [1], onions (Latin Allioideae) are assigned to the amaryllid family (Amaryllidaceae)
At the first stage of our work, the antimicrobial activity of alcoholic extracts obtained from various parts of common wild and endemic species of the genus Allium, growing in the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan, was studied
Our research has demonstrated that out of 15 representatives of the genus Allium included in the work, only extracts of 11 plants showed varying degrees of antimicrobial activity against the reference strain of Kl. pneumoniae
Summary
According to the APG III system of flowering plant classification, developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG), published in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society of London [1], onions (Latin Allioideae) are assigned to the amaryllid family (Amaryllidaceae). The genus Allium includes more than 900 species [2]. В настоящее время род Allium включает в свой состав более 900 видов [2]. Представители рода Аllium – одно-, дву- или многолетние растения с луковицами, клубнелуковицами или иногда корневищами. Виды луковых очень разнообразны по своей экологической приуроченности и встречаются почти повсюду от высокогорий до побережья морей [3]. В частности, A. montanum (лук горный) является сухолюбивым, а очень близкий к нему вид – A. angulosum L. (лук угловатый) – характеризуется как влаголюбивый и произрастает на влажных, богатых аллювиальной почвой лугах [3]. В различных природно-климатических регионах мира со специфическими экологическими условиями встречается множество эндемичных видов рода Allium, которые между собой отличаются по фенотипическим, фитохимическим и биологическим свойствам [4, 5]
