Researchers in the Himalayan region have discovered a new variety of onion called Allium neginium


Dehradun, 20, October, 2021, Wednesday

There are about 1,100 species of allium in the world, including onions, garlic, and scallops. Although allium vegetables and herbs have been used for centuries, a team of researchers has discovered a new onion type of allium. According to the research, there are two different centers of biodiversity in the Himalayan region of India in which the biodiversity of the western Himalayas is about 7%. While in the eastern Himalayas it is limited to 7% which covers the alpine sub-temperate region. Anjula Pandey, chief scientist at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resurrection in New Delhi, and her colleagues noticed a new species of plant of the genus Allium.


Researchers have long been researching allium plants from a scientific point of view. The plant, named Neginium, was discovered in Malari village in Niti valley of Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The village is located near the border of India and Tibet. These plants grow at an altitude of 2000 to 200 meters above sea level. The open meadows, sandy soils along the river banks in the alpine meadow area are locally known as Bugyal. Allium neginium can also be found in the snow-covered area. After the ice melts its seeds swim and spread to the more favorable area. This new species is also found in very small numbers in the western Himalayan region. Not found anywhere else in the world.


The name Allium Negienum is named in honor of the late Dr. Kuldip Singh Negi, a renowned researcher and collector of Allium in India. Although this is a new species of onion for science, the locals have been growing it at home for decades. Allium neginium is referred to by names such as Fran, Jambu, Sakua, Sungdung and Kacho. The people of Niti valley use this as a spice and salad. Its use may increase in the western Himalayan region with the realization of Allium Neginum. Danger can also arise if haphazard cutting of this plant is started. The findings are published in the journal Photics.

These countries are now farming in space, watch the video

Image Source: NASA New delhi date. 2 June 2023, Friday As the population increases in the country, the land for agriculture is getting less and less on earth. Recently, a report from the University of Colorado Boulder has come out, in which it has been said, how farms are rapidly being depleted around the world. Perhaps this is the reason why scientists from some of the world's major countries are turning to farming in space. There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of space and the atmosphere of Earth, but still there is cultivation. In fact, seeds sent into space remain in microgravity and are exposed to large amounts of cosmic rays, a process that greatly accelerates plant growth and transformation. This process is called space mutagenesis. Due to which the plant is ready to face any kind of situation. China is growing many crops China is growing a variety of crops in space. It contains Luan 502 wheat. These wheat seeds are now being brought from space and are als...

Image
History of Time Zone: The clock and our lives are completely intertwined. Ever wondered what would happen if all clocks in the world were set to the same time? So there will be a big mess right? Because the earth is so big that if there is morning in our country, then there will be night, somewhere evening, somewhere afternoon and somewhere different time on this earth. A single place was fixed for each day from which the whole world could set its clock time. Also know why the whole world time is set with GMT? What does GMT stand for Greenwich Mean Time? How was this time zone determined and how did the world determine its day before that? When did the clock start? Clocks were invented as early as the 16th century, and until the 18th century, time around the world was observed and measured based on the sun. But the world got time zones after the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, local time in cities was determined by the sun. So, differ...

He hoisted the American flag on the moon and returned after spending three hours there. There are still questions about the veracity of this claim by the American NASA , but the fact that humans have made tremendous progress in space in the last five decades cannot be denied in any way. Sometimes you also look at the moon from the earth and think that what is really on the earth of the moon ?! Almost everyone has the curiosity to peer into the vast universe spread around us. The problem is that if we live in a city and look at the sky from Agashi, we will see nothing but a very bright star. If you live in a village and also in a farm or when you go out of the city, if you stop for a while on the highway other than a hotel or a petrol pump, you will ...

Fear of a terrible solar storm could damage the Internet on Earth

Image
Half the country was in darkness for nine hours when a grid failed during Canada's 1989 hurricane. New York: A solar storm is a coronal mass emanating from the sun. It is quite dangerous and harmful. Scientists have recently warned that such a terrible storm will come in the future. This can have a profound effect on the Internet. This means that the entire world's Internet may be shut down or blocked for several days. The study was conducted on the Internet by Sangeeta Abdu Jyoti, a researcher at the University of California. He presented his study to scientists at the Sigcom 2021 Data Communication Congress last week. According to the study of music, there will be less impact on the internet system at the local level. The reason is that it runs primarily on fiber optics. Fiber optics are not directly affected by geomagnetic currents. But it could also have an impact on Internet cable spread around the world. This cable connects different countries of the world. Many count...

Like Telegram, Instagram also added a broadcast channel

Image
If you've been active on Instagram for a long time and follow a lot of people, you'll have experienced that a lot of content posted by those people is out of your sight - even if you want to see it. Like Facebook, what we see on Instagram is largely determined by algorithms. Those social sites themselves decide what we like to see. As a result, what we really want to see remains out of our sight. On the other hand, no algorithm works in services like WhatsApp or Telegram. For example, if we join a group in WhatsApp, whatever is posted in it will reach us. Telegram has channel facility. In that too whatever the creator of that channel posts will reach us. It's a different matter that we ourselves don't see everything posted in a WhatsApp group or a particular Telegram channel, but it does reach us. It often happens in Facebook and Instagram that not all the things we are interested in seeing reach us. This is just as bad for us as it is for content creators. Even if th...
