“…Expanding and enriching the types of vegetable crops through high-yielding forms with a complex of economically useful properties is an urgent and important task of modern vegetable farming. Leek (Allium porrum) is very promising in this regard, it is characterized by high productivity, resistance to diseases and pests, resistance to cold, and this plant has good storage properties, as a result of which people's demand for leek can be met throughout the year [1,4,5,10]. This vegetable crop is not widespread in the conditions of Uzbekistan, due to the lack of varieties zoned for various purposes, the morpho-biology of zoned varieties has not been fully studied, as well as the lack of progressive technologies of cultivation and storage.…”

In the article, the results of the research carried out in theconditions of Uzbekistan for the purpose of comparing the varieties of leek"Elephant", "Bandit" and hybrids "Lincoln F1", "Chinuk F1" in terms ofvaluable economic characteristics are presented with a deep scientificanalysis. Planting was carried out by hand in 4x1 cm rows in 7x40x60 cmboxes in a greenhouse on March 15. Seedlings appeared after 10-12 days,on May 10 they were transplanted to open field. Planting in open field wascarried out in a scheme of 50x10 cm. Morpho-biometric indicators includedetermining the main quality indicators of seedlings before planting inopen field: plant weight, false stem diameter, plant height and number ofleaves. Plant height was measured from the bottom of the leaves to the tip.At the end of the research, the data analysis shows that among the studiedleek varieties and hybrids, the hybrid "Lincoln F1" was superior to othervarieties and hybrids in terms of all valuable economic characteristics, andwe will further research this hybrid. we separated for In the conditions ofUzbekistan, this hybrid recorded high indicators in terms of plant weight,false stem diameter, plant height, number of leaves.

“…The components of Allium ampeloprasum L. vary depending on the place of production or cultivation conditions, but it is generally known to contain a lot of water, minerals such as Ca, P, and Fe, and various sulfur compounds [16]. It has been reported that the white bulb of elephant garlic contains a large amount of polyphenols such as kaempferol (KAE), quercetin (QUE), and sulfur compounds such as isoalliin (IA), methiin (MT), diallyl trisulfide (DATS), and diallyl disulfide (DADS) [17][18][19]. A potential of Allium ampeloprasum L. for improving various symptoms of menopause involving androgenic effects, increasing testosterone production, reducing obesity, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and enhancing antioxidant effects have been reported [4,14,[20][21][22][23][24], and they are being used for commercialization in the food material for men's health and the related functional food market worldwide [14,25,26], but related scientific evidence is still lacking.…”

The primary objectives of this study were to assess the inhibitory effects of Allium ampeloprasum L. extract (AAE) and its derived organosulfur and polyphenolic compounds on the enzymatic activities of cGMP-specific PDE V (PDE5) and aminopeptidase N (APN). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate their potential as inhibitors against these two target enzymes through kinetic analyses and molecular docking studies. The in vitro enzyme assays demonstrated that both AAE and its derived compounds significantly decreased the activity of PDE5 and APN. Further analyses involving kinetics and molecular docking provided insights into the specific inhibitor types of AAE and its derived compounds along with the proposed molecular docking models illustrating the interactions between the ligands (the compounds) and the enzymes (PDE5 and APN). In particular, AAE-derived polyphenolic compounds showed relatively stable binding affinity (−7.2 to −8.3 kcal/mol) on PDE5 and APN. Our findings proved the potential as an inhibitor against PDE5 and APN of AAE and AAE-derived organosulfur and polyphenolic compounds as well as a functional material for erectile dysfunction improvement.

Leek is an economical and healthy plant species. It contains rich dietary fibers, amino acids, bioactive compounds that increase its antioxidant capacity and more than 20 different fatty acids. It is rich in potassium, iron and selenium and can be used as a valuable source for microalgae cultivation. For impotance of leek, this study investigated the biomass production of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae species with leek leaf waste. To obtain the leek extract to be used for the experiment, leek leaves were dried in an oven at 40 °C and crushed in a mortar and pestle and filtered. Leek leaves were first dissolved with 10 ml DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) to 0.1 g/L and diluted with distilled water to a final volume of 100 ml. Chlorella vulgaris was exposed to leek extract concentrations of 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 1.0 g/L for 72 hours and BG-11 enrichment medium was used in the control group. According to the data obtained, when leek leaves were used in the cultivation of C. vulgaris microalgae, a very high increase of 160% was observed at a concentration of 0.05 g/L compared to BG-11 enrichment medium. However, in the group where leek leaves were used completely, 64% increase was observed compared to the control group. This study proved that C. vulgaris have significant potential for food industries and the biocompost of vegetables is a suitable medium for microalgae cultivation. This study has proven that the use of vegetable wastes is suitable for obtaining a culture with high biomass of C. vulgaris microalgae, which has been used intensively in different areas of the food industry, and that leek wastes in particular provide high biomass growth. Therefore, the lower concentration of leek served as the best medium to increase the growth and biomass of C. vulgaris. This study proves that costs can be reduced and sustainable effective culture techniques can be used in microalgae culture by using vegetable wastes such as leek waste, which provides high biomass growth even at low concentrations.
