Open AccessConstruction of a high-density linkage map and graphical representation of the arrangement of transcriptome-based unigene markers on the chromosomes of onion, Allium cepa L.
Genomic information for Allium cepa L. is limited as it is heterozygous and its genome is very large. To elucidate potential SNP markers obtained by NGS, we used a complete set of A. fistulosum L.-A. cepa monosom...

Distribution and evolution of Citrus accessions with S3 and/or S11 alleles for self-incompatibility with an emphasis on sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck; SfS3 or SfS3sm]
Gametophytic self-incompatibility, one of the key characters for production of seedless citrus, is known in pummelo [Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.], mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco) and their hybrid cultivars. The a...

Chapter
Breeding and Genomic Approaches for Climate-Resilient Garlic
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has a long history of cultivation by asexual propagation. Due to its asexual nature, improvement of garlic has been limited as compared to onion. With the impending climate change, it i...

Production and characterization of alien chromosome addition lines in Allium fistulosum carrying extra chromosomes of Allium roylei using molecular and cytogenetic analyses
Allium roylei was employed for the production of alien chromosome addition lines in A. fistulosum. Interspecific hybridization between A. fistulosum and A. roylei successfully produced F1

Article
Integrating transcriptome and target metabolome variability in doubled haploids of Allium cepa for abiotic stress protection
Environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, or pathogen infection can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield, resulting in a need for stress-tolerant crop varieties. Crossbree...

Development of transcriptome shotgun assembly-derived markers in bunching onion (Allium fistulosum)
Bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is one of the most important vegetables in Japan. Although expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived markers for bulb onion (A. cepa L.) have been developed from medium-scale sequ...

Chimeric inheritance of organelle DNA in variegated leaf seedlings from inter-subgeneric crossing of azalea
The inheritance of organelle DNA was investigated using PCR–RFLP markers in reciprocal cross combinations of inter-subgeneric azalea hybrids between evergreen azaleas (Rhododendron nakaharai and its hybrids) and ...

Article
Assessment of biochemical and antioxidant diversities in a shallot germplasm collection from Vietnam and its surrounding countries
The shallot is considered an important genetic resource for Allium breeding programs because, compared to the bulb onion, the shallot contains higher levels of several functional chemical compounds. However, ther...

Article
QTL analysis for pseudostem pungency in bunching onion (Allium fistulosum)
Low pungency is one of the most important agronomic traits in bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.). Although the degree of pungency can be evaluated indirectly using a colorimetric test for pyruvic acid, DNA mar...

Alien genes introgression and development of alien monosomic addition lines from a threatened species, Allium roylei Stearn, to Allium cepa L.
To produce alien monosomic addition lines (AMALs) of Allium cepa (genomes CC, 2n = 2x = 16) carrying extrachromosomes from Allium roylei (RR, 2n = 2x = 16), reciprocal backcrossing of allotriploids (2n = 24, CCR)...

Article
Direct determination of the chromosomal location of bunching onion and bulb onion markers using bunching onion–shallot monosomic additions and allotriploid-bunching onion single alien deletions
To determine the chromosomal location of bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.) simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and bulb onion (A. cepa L.) expressed sequence tags (ESTs), we used a complete set of bunching onion–s...
