Summary: Incorporating leek powder into wheat bread negatively impacts dough rheology and bread quality, with changes in viscoelastic properties, lower bread volume, and coarser crumb structure. However, at lower levels, the sensory study showed that consumer acceptability was not affected, and the mould-free shelf-life of wheat bread remained unchanged.

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: In this study, Allium cepa leaf extract was used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles with excellent stability and antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial activities. The synthesized nanoparticles were extensively characterized and confirmed to have a spherical structure with a size of 13 nm and a silver content of 30.33%. Additionally, the nanoparticles showed better cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells and exhibited antimicrobial effectiveness against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

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: 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: 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 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.
