Summary: Research shows distinct differences in susceptibility of different onion cultivars to Thrips tabaci Lindeman. Leaf colour is correlated with thrips preference, with higher lightness, yellowness, chroma, hue, and lower redness attracting more thrips; resistant cultivars have darker, green-grey-yellowish leaves.

Summary: Onions are a valuable vegetable-spice crop in India but are susceptible to diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., is a major issue as it severely affects bulb production. Twister disease is a common problem in onion production, particularly in humid regions, reducing productivity and value. This review provides updated knowledge on onion anthracnose, including the pathogen, disease cycle, infection pathways, and management techniques to benefit growers.

Summary: This study reports the successful establishment of a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing protocol in onions, using the AcPDS gene as an example. Through transformation and cultivation of calli, different phenotypes were observed in regenerated shoots, with some exhibiting albino or chimeric characteristics. PCR and deep amplicon sequencing confirmed the successful editing of the AcPDS gene.

Summary: Onion is an important vegetable crop with numerous health-promoting properties. As climate change poses challenges to agriculture, the preservation and utilization of onion germplasm is crucial for sustainable agriculture and food security. Genetic diversity stored in global onion germplasm collections can be harnessed to develop climate-resistant varieties. Collaboration at international and inter-institutional levels is important for sharing and utilizing onion genetic resources to solve future agricultural challenges.

Summary: The red color of onion bulbs is caused by anthocyanins, which are regulated by a protein called AcB2. AcB2 interacts with another protein called AcMYB1 to enhance the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. This discovery provides a theoretical basis for breeding onions with higher anthocyanin contents.

Summary: The aim of the studies was to evaluate the effects of acetic acid treatments on the quality of stored onion seeds. Seeds of two samples were soaked in different concentrations of acetic acid solutions and subjected to storage at two different temperatures. The results showed that treating onion seeds with acetic acid solutions reduced their infestation with fungi and did not have any adverse effect on germination and vigour of stored seeds.

Summary: A glossy mutant lacking an epicuticular wax layer was identified in the ?-irradiated M2 mutant population of the onion cultivar Bhima Super. The mutant displayed poor accumulation of wax crystals, primarily near the stomata. Gene expression analysis revealed downregulation of wax biosynthesis genes in the glossy mutant. These findings contribute to our understanding of wax biosynthesis in onions and provide a foundation for utilizing the glossy mutant trait for breeding programs.

Summary: This study conducted an experiment on fifteen short day onion genotypes at two locations, Isfahan and Khuzestan, and evaluated them using multivariate methods. The results showed significant differences in the traits among locations, varieties, and the interaction between location and variety. Positive and negative correlations were found between various traits. The Saba and Behbahan improved population varieties were recommended for future crop improvement programs due to their high genetic diversity.

Summary: The experiment revealed that Cs-137 and Am-243 mainly accumulated in the roots of onion under hydroponic conditions, with the edible parts being relatively protected. Exposure to 243Am significantly reduced the number, length, and total surface area of onion roots. On the other hand, under the influence of Cs-137, the dry matter content in roots decreased, with an increase in the hydration level of root tissues.

Summary: The onion genome has a single copy of the MSH1 gene with the characteristic GIY-YIG endonuclease domain. AcMSH1 is targeted towards both chloroplasts and mitochondria, and its expression levels vary in different tissues of the onion. The identification and characterization of AcMSH1 may provide valuable insights into the development of CMS lines in onions.

Summary: Drought is a major abiotic constraint for onion production globally, and breeding for drought tolerance using unique genetic resources is crucial. Screening 100 onion genotypes for drought tolerance identified highly tolerant genotypes with high DTE and low yield losses. Tolerant genotypes exhibited superior growth characteristics under drought stress, providing valuable insights for onion breeding programs focused on drought tolerance.
