Narcissus and Daffodil

250 O.A. Cherkasov and O.N. Tolkachev
Alzheimer’s disease has attracted scientists for new investigations in this field.
Comparative studies of various genera of this family have been carried out, and
prospective species were found for commercial exploitation, among them Leucojum,
Ungernia and Narcissus. The technological procedures for their production have
been elaborated.
