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,
Fano variety Fano variety In algebraic geometry, a Fano variety, introduced in , is a complete variety "X" whose anticanonical bundle "K" is ample. In this definition, one could assume that "X" is smooth over a field, but the minimal model program has also led to the study of Fano varieties with various types of singularities, such as terminal or klt singularities. The existence of some ample line bundle on "X" is equivalent to "X" being a projective variety, so a Fano variety is always projective. For a Fano variety "X" over the complex numbers, the Kodaira vanishing theorem implies that the
