Allium vegetables such as onion and garlic are essential ingredients of most world cuisines but especially so in Asia. They not only have great economic value but important functional foods. To date progress in genetic and genomic analysis has been limited by the unusually large, heterozygous genomes and complex chemistry. This workshop will highlight the rapid advances being enabled by second-generation sequencing, metabolomics and novel genetic stocks.
