ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT TRAITS OF ONION
Keywords:
Allium cepa, onion, genes, economically, metabolites, vegetable cropAbstract
Onions are an important vegetable crop globally, eaten widely for culinary uses and health benefits. They are the most important horticultural crop in India. Onion cultivation involves various economically important rates and socio-economic factors influencing its production. To maximize onion production in India, timely and effective use of inputs is necessary. The study focuses on important parameters such as yield, cost of cultivation, market price, labor cost, land price, government policies, and seed supply. These factors play a vital role in determining the performance of onion production and its economics. The study further analyzed the relationship between yield and cost of cultivation. The higher the yield, the higher the profit for an onion grower. Interspecific hybridization is the best method for transferring the resistance gene to overcome the plant protection agents and protect the onion from diseases, pests, and abiotic stresses. Transferring other metabolites and odor molecules that benefit human health is also important. It increases genetic diversity and also helpful for the improvement of Allium crops. In the present situation, wild relatives can be used to transfer resistance genes and Allium has an untapped gene pool. There is a need to identify genes responsible for haploid induction, develop techniques for chromosome doubling effectively, gynogenic responsive genes, and a methodology to transfer genes from one genotype to the desired genotype.
