Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important vegetable crop widely grown for diverse culinary and nutraceutical properties. Being a shallow-rooted plant, it prone to drought. In the present study, transcriptome sequencing of drought-tolerant (1656) drought-sensitive (1627) onion genotypes was performed elucidate molecular basis differential response drought stress. A total 123206 139252 transcripts (average transcript length: 690 bases) were generated after assembly 1656 1627, respectively....
The root-endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica (=Serendipita indica) has been revealed for its growth-promoting effects and capacity to induce resistance in a broad spectrum of host plants. However, the bioefficacy this had not yet tested against any pathogen affecting onion (Allium cepa). In study, biocontrol potency P. leaf blight, an impacting disease caused by necrotrophic fungal Stemphylium vesicarium, was evaluated. First, it proved that colonisation roots beneficial plant growth, as...
Abstract Background Onions are economically and nutritionally important vegetable crops. Despite advances in technology acreage, Indian onion growers face challenges realizing their full productivity potential. This study examines the technical efficiency of growers, factors influencing it, constraints faced by those adopting drip irrigation Ghod river basin western Maharashtra. A sample 480 farmers including practicing not was selected from Junnar, Shirur, Parner, Shrigonda blocks basin....
Collective farmer models represent an important approach for smallholders to engage in agricultural activities collaboratively, fostering sustainable economic development, particularly the context of India. The increasing frequency published research articles on collective highlights their significance addressing various challenges faced by smallholder farmers India and globally. This study is guided three primary questions: first, identify trends publications related models; second, measure...
The GATA transcription factors play multifaceted roles in modulating vital physiological processes plants. However, the factor family onion (Allium cepa L.) has been explored to a limited extent. In present study, genome-wide survey of and subsequent characterization carried out genome. total, 24 A. GATAs (AcGATA1-AcGATA24) have identified Chromosomal mapping revealed that all genes could be mapped onto different chromosomes or scaffolds. gene duplication, synteny, collinearity analysis...
Background The genus Allium (Family: Amaryllidaceae) is an economically important group of crops cultivated worldwide for their use as a vegetable and spices. Alliums are also well known nutraceutical properties. Among alliums, onion, garlic, leek, chives worldwide. Despite substantial economic medicinal importance, the genome sequence any not available, probably due to large sizes. Recently evolved omics technologies highly efficient robust in elucidating molecular mechanisms several...
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops due to its diverse culinary and health promoting properties. It a rich source dietary phytochemicals such as flavonoids other antioxidants which enhance medicinal importance onion. bulb colour quality characters actively targeted in breeding programmes. bulbs with red, white, yellow, golden, pink, chartreuse, etc. are available this variation mutations structural regulatory genes flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. The genetics...
The genus Allium (Family: Alliaceae) is the most important among bulbous vegetable crops. characterization of Alliums based on phenotypic traits influenced by environment and leads to biased diversity estimates. Recognizing potential DNA markers in plant breeding, researchers have adopted molecular for marker-assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping different quality Alliums. This review presents details about use cultivar identification, studies, SSR development,...
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a clonally propagated bulbous crop and can be infected by several viruses under field conditions. A virus complex reduces garlic yield deteriorates the quality of produce. In present study, we aimed to eliminate Onion yellow dwarf (OYDV), common latent (GCLV), Shallot (SLV), Allexiviruses from using combination meristem culture, thermotherapy, chemotherapy. this seven different treatments, namely shoot thermotherapy direct chemotherapy + culture (TCMC), were...
Purple blotch (PB) is one of the most destructive foliar diseases onion and other alliums, caused by a necrotrophic fungal pathogen
The gut microbial community structure of adult Thrips tabaci collected from 10 different agro-climatically diverse locations India was characterized by using the Illumina MiSeq platform to amplify V3 region 16S rRNA gene bacteria present in sampled insects. Analyses were performed study bacterial communities associated with India. complete metagenome T. comprised 1662 OTUs which 62.25% belong known and 37.7% unidentified/unknown bacteria. These constituted 21 phyla 276 identified genera....

The genus Allium is a prominent member of the Amaryllidaceae family and encompasses approximately 1,063 species worldwide. These diverse vary in appearance flavor but they share biochemical similarities. Underutilized Alliums present promising alternative to onion garlic various Indian regions, given their adaptability, versatile utility, nutraceutical properties. Their adaptation plains India great opportunity add medicinal value cuisine. Therefore, study aimed evaluate underutilized raw...
Plant-endophyte symbiosis influences plant defense and growth. Serendipita indica is a root endophyte that promotes growth induces tolerance against biotic abiotic stress in plants. In this study, we examined the effect of S. colonization on herbivore ( Spodoptera exigua ) resistance onion Allium cepa L.). We found roots significantly reduced feeding damage leaves by larvae, also resulted reduction weight gain larvae when fed This enhanced result modulation antioxidant enzymes/genes host...
Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important crop in terms of economic and genetic significance tropical subtropical regions. The Indian Institute Horticulture Research (IIHR) eggplant breeding program produced five genotypes with increased yield excellent producer acceptance. Molecular profiles these were developed using 39 EST-SSR primers for maximum discrimination repeatability at 35 loci. In total there 181 alleles the number per locus ranging from 9.0 (EEMS 24) to 3 46 EEMS 20), a...
Introduction Waterlogging is a major stress that severely affects onion cultivation worldwide, and developing stress-tolerant varieties could be valuable measure for overcoming its adverse effects. Gathering information regarding the molecular mechanisms gene expression patterns of waterlogging-tolerant sensitive genotypes an effective method improving tolerance in onions. To date, waterlogging tolerance-governing mechanism onions unknown. Methods This study identified differentially...
