“…High selenium content of garlic is one of the reasons for the strong antioxidant activity of garlic (Ghasemi et al, ). Besides, recent studies have shown that flavonoids drove from garlic as quercetin and cyanidin have shown a direct relationship with its antioxidant properties (Cai, Luo, Sun, & Corke, ).…”

Natural resources such as plants are an upright curing option in treating cancers and reducing the side effects of current therapeutic modalities. Allium genus vegetables are of the most interesting herbs in restricting cancers that includes garlic, onions, leeks, chives, and shallots. These plants have been exploited in folk medicine because of their beneficial health effects in improving numerous diseases. The phytochemical analysis of various Allium genus members showed that, to date, 16 species have proved potential anticancer properties due to the accumulation of various sulfur and organic compounds like S‐allyl mercaptocysteine, quercetin, flavonoids, and ajoene. These compounds with various mechanisms such as hindering cell cycle, inhibiting signaling pathways, inducing apoptosis, and antioxidant activity interfere with diverse stages of formation, growth, differentiation, and metastasis of cancer cells. Similar to garlic and onion, other species have exhibited anticancer activities, so that active natural molecules extracted from them might serve as possible anticancer agents. Therefore, evaluating the main ingredients and studying their anticancer mechanisms are of great importance. In this review, we aim to summarize the available data on anticancer mechanisms of 16 species of Allium genus and their major compounds to assist further researches on the treatment and prevention of cancers.

Results showed that soaked wheat grains in different concentrations of mixtures of selenium and humic acid led to increases the percentage of germination as well as length both shoot and root along with their dry matter contents, were also favored total soluble sugars.Results also revealed that used mixtures of selenium and humic acid in saline soil led to increases resistance of plants to salinity conditions, therefore decreasing the content of proline compared to control, in case of wheat grains, the treatments also improved the proportion of protein and selenium compared to the control.

“…Studies evaluating the application of humic substances in medicinal plants in vivo (Table 1) demonstrate that those substances can contribute to the increase of the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and to the activity of bioactive substances from different classes, such as flavonoids, coumarins, phenylpropanoids, total phenols and anthocyanins (Ahmed et al, 2011;Khazaie et al, 2011;Aminifard et al, 2012;El-Gohary et al, 2014;Ghasemi et al, 2015;Hendawy et al, 2015;Said-Al et al, 2016).…”

“…There are different ways of applying humic substances: via soil, spray or fertigation (Kołodziej et al, 2013;Hendawy et al, 2015;Ghasemi et al, 2015). Nevertheless, those substances significantly increased the biosynthesis of the metabolism of medicinal plants and production of metabolites with biological and pharmacological properties independent of the way they were applied on the plants (Andrade et al, 2001;Khazaie et al, 2011;Kołodziej et al, 2013).…”

“…Humic substances improves the root system development, which contributes to higher nutrient uptake efficiency, leading to changes on the root exudation profile , lateral and adventitious roots formation. These responses involve mechanisms of cellular stimulation and differentiation that act as messenger inducing physiological effects, as well as influence on the production of chlorophyll A and B and carotenoid content (Ghasemi et al, 2015).…”

In function of the green revolution the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals and pesticides in agriculture has been also shown in the production of medicinal plants, resulting in the increase of productivity but with high residual contamination and low rates in the production of secondary metabolites responsible for the biological and pharmacological activity in vegetable drugs. In another hand, new techniques of elicitation has been applied to stimulate the medicinal plants production through the organic and agroecological management, contributing for the increase of performance, quality and production. In this context, it is aimed with this review to present such as the humic substances: fulvic acid, humic acid and efficient microorganisms which influence and help the ontogeny and the secondary metabolites production of medicinal plants. The reviewed articles show that the use of fulvic acid, humic acid and efficient microorganisms in the production of medicinal plants contributes on the increase of biosynthesis, secondary metabolites production such as coumarins, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids and essential oils, as well as the increase of nutrients absorption, growth and development of species.
