Artichoke economically important genes from related species. Rezazadeh, A., Ghasemnezhad, A., Barani, M., & Telmadarrehei, T. (2012). Effect of Salinity on Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Leaves. Research Journal of Medicinal Plant, 6(3). Artichoke The globe artichoke ("Cynara cardunculus" var. "scolymus") is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food. The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom. The budding artichoke flower-head is a cluster of many budding small flowers (an inflorescence), together with many bracts, on an edible base. Once the buds bloom,
Ruled variety Kodaira dimension −∞ but is not separably uniruled. It is not known whether every smooth Fano variety in positive characteristic is separably uniruled. Ruled variety In algebraic geometry, a variety over a field "k" is ruled if it is birational to the product of the projective line with some variety over "k". A variety is uniruled if it is covered by a family of rational curves. (More precisely, a variety "X" is uniruled if there is a variety "Y" and a dominant rational map "Y" × P – → "X" which does not factor through the projection to "Y".) The
