Product Description
This fully revised, expanded and updated edition of the successful text, Onions and Other Vegetable Alliums, 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, storage carbohydrates and colour and how this relates 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. The reader will get an insight into how molecular methods are revolutionizing the study of taxonomy, genetics, pathology and physiology and how these methods are being applied in the breeding of improved crops.

| Customer Reviews:
One of the three books on Alliums you must have. September 2, 2007
This is one of the best general references regarding onions and other alliums. It should be on your bookshelf right between the Compendium of Onion and Garlic Diseases by Schwartz and Mohan and Allium Crop Science: Recent Advances by Rabinowitch and Currah.
