Genetic, Botanic, and Functional Advances in Allium Research

Genetic, Botanic, and Functional Advances in Allium Research highlights the latest insights on different endemic allium species such as onions, garlic, shallots and leeks for a better understanding of their bioactive potential and sustainable properties. Exploring the chemical compounds responsible for distinct flavors and aromas and the phytochemical and bioactive properties that aid in health, nutrition, and functional foods, authors provide in-depth coverage of the allium genus, from their botanical details to genetic makeup. Genetic, Botanic, and Functional Advances in Allium Research discusses how genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics are combined to provide comprehensive insight into the complex biology of certain alliums that is significant to their nutritional, medicinal and culinary attributes. The book also highlights the role of alliums in the ecosystem and their environmental impact on sustainable agriculture, waste valorization of specific allium species, the effect of climate has on the nutritional value of certain species, and climate change adaptation and its impact on allium cultivation and nutritional profiles.
