GARLIC & HEALTH Integration with development
lRadiolabelled intermediates identified using HPLC and HPLC-MS in comparison with chemically synthesised compounds (P3). lDifferential display sequences and isolated and reanalysed by northern blots and in situ hybridisation, where possible, with other Allium sp. (P3) lFirst year harvests and analysis completed (P2). lSecond year experimental material planted. (P2). lcDNA clones encoding alliinase isolated and sequenced (P2).
