Onions and other vegetable alliums

The aim of the book is to introduce the scientific principles that underlie production practices, rather than to give detailed instruction on how to produce allium crops. The topics covered include: the classification, origins, distribution and economic importance of the major vegetable crops; the structure of edible alliums; the genetics and plant breeding of allium crops; physiology of crop growth, development and yield; interactions with weeds, pests, diseases and symbionts; agronomy and crop production; crop storage and dormancy; biochemistry, health benefits and food science of alliums.

  • "The classification, origins, distribution and economic importance of the major vegetable crops. The structure of edible alliums. The genetics and plant breeding of allium crop production. Flowering and seed production. Intsractions with other orgaisms: weed, pests, disease and symbionts. The biochemistry and food science of alliums and crop storage and dormance."

  • "This text relates the production and utilization of these familiar and important vegetable crops to the many aspects of plant science underpinning their production and storage technologies. Chapters cover species and crop types, plant structure, genetics and breeding, physiology of growth and development, as well as pests and diseases, production agronomy, storage after harvest and the biochemistry of flavour, and how all these relate to nutritional and health benefits. From this wide perspective it is possible to see many examples where underlying scientific knowledge illuminates, explains and can improve agronomic practice. Horticulture students and professionals will gain valuable insight into how molecular methods are revolutionizing the study of taxonomy, genetics, pathology and physiology, and how these methods are being applied in the improved breeding of crops. They will also see how scientific information is integrated in computer-based models used for crop management, for example, to forecast diseases or to specify fertilizer and irrigation needs.--COVER."
