Abstract

We measured the antioxidant contents and antioxidative activities in eight Allium fistulosum–shallot monosomic addition lines (MAL; FF+1A–FF+8A). The high antioxidative activity lines (FF+2A and FF+6A) showed high polyphenol accumulation. These additional chromosomes (2A and 6A) would therefore have anonymous genes related to the upregulation of polyphenol production, the antioxidative activities consequently being increased in these MALs.
