Standardization of challenge inoculation protocols for artificial infection of Fusarium acutatum and Fusarium falciforme causing basal rot of onion [PDF]
Fusarium basal rot (FBR) severely reduces onion production by causing substantial pre- and post-harvest losses, resulting in shortage of onion during the lean period.

Differential responses of onion genotypes in growth, physiological and biochemical traits, and bulb yield under waterlogging stress [PDF]
Waterlogging significantly affects the growth, yield, and quality of onion due to its shallow root system. Eight onion genotypes—four tolerant (Accession 1666, Bhima Dark Red (BDR) Selection, Accession 1630, W-355) and four sensitive (Bhima Super, Bhima ...

Salinity stress induced changes in onion genotypes: biochemical and physiological traits, ion homeostasis, and bulb formation [PDF]
Background Soil salinity disrupts several physiological, biochemical, and metabolic processes essential for onion growth and development. Materials and methods A pot experiment was conducted to examine the effect of salinity (0.12, 0.5, 0.85, 1.85, 3.55,

Assessment of salinity tolerance in onion (Allium cepa L.) genotypes at germination stage through morphological traits and multivariate analysis [PDF]
Salinity is a major abiotic stress that affects crop growth and development, particularly in crops like onions (Allium cepa L.), which are sensitive to saline conditions.

We demonstrate the possibility of a stable equilibrium multi-lamellar (``onion'') phase in pure lamellar systems (no excess solvent) due to a sufficiently negative Gaussian curvature modulus. The onion phase is stabilized by non-linear elastic moduli coupled to a polydisperse size distribution (Apollonian packing) to allow space-filling without ...

Anthracnose of Onion (Allium cepa L.): A Twister Disease
The onion (Allium cepa L.) is a lucrative and high-value vegetable–spice crop in India, but it is sensitive to several of diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, of which a fungal disease, anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp ...
