    Gene Family Evolution in Allium Species

    During evolution, plant genomes have undergone duplications, deletions and rearrangements resulting in a wide variation in genome size and number of gene family members between different species. The variation...

    Molecular Map** of Genes and QTL: Progress to Date and Development of New Population Resources for NGS Genetics

    Ability to conduct molecular analyses in Allium species was previously limited by the power of available technologies to sample very large heterozygous genomes in a cost-effective manner. The emergence of third-g...

    Genetic map** of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content

    The non-structural dry matter content of onion bulbs consists principally of fructose, glucose, sucrose and fructans. The objective of this study was to understand the genetic basis for the wide variation obse...
