Abstract

Allium is the biggest genus of petaloid monocotyledons, with more than 750 species widely distributed in a range of climatic conditions worldwide, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. Allium comprises commercially significant food crops, including onions, garlic, leeks, and chives, as well as species with medicinal qualities. Bulb onions rank second only after tomatoes in terms of global production, which indicates the importance of Allium crops and the need for develo** new Allium crop varieties with beneficial agronomical traits. Recently, there has been considerable interest in investigating the genetic resources of Allim crops and their wild relatives for improving Allium breeding and possible future genetic manipulation. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of major Allium crops and their wild relatives from scientific and horticultural perspectives. This chapter broadly covers the unique resources for Allium genetics and breeding, including the recent development of cytoplasmic male sterility, inbred lines, and wild species. We also discuss and summarize the recent developments in Allium genome sequencing, including novel tools for large genome sequencing, the chloroplast genome, mitochondrial genomes, and the nuclear genome. Furthermore, we provide a brief overview of the linkage, cytogenetic, and physical map** in various Allium crops. Finally, we provide a special focus on Allium metabolome and transcriptome analysis as important approaches for understanding Allium stress responses. Our book chapter provides recent developments in Allium genomics and metabolome dynamics, which open the possibility of develo** novel Allium crop cultivars with enhanced nutritional value and stress tolerance under current climatic conditions.
