Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation among Fusarium isolates from onion, and resistance to Fusarium basal rot in related Allium species
Guillermo A. Galván,Guillermo A. Galván,Carole F. S. Koning-Boucoiran,Wim J. M. Koopman,Karin Burger-Meijer,Pablo González,Cees Waalwijk,Chris Kik,Olga E. Scholten +8 more
TL;DR: The aim of this research was to study levels of resistance to Fusarium basal rot in onion cultivars and related Allium species, by using genetically different FUSarium isolates, and the taxonomic status of the species was confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The long and winding road leading to the successful introgression of downy mildew resistance into onion
Olga E. Scholten,A.W. van Heusden,Ludmila Khrustaleva,Ludmila Khrustaleva,Karin Burger-Meijer,Rolf Mank,R. G. C. Antonise,J. L. Harrewijn,W. Van haecke,E. H. Oost,R. J. Peters,Chris Kik +11 more
TL;DR: The identification of an individual with a smaller and more distally located introgression fragment and homozygous ILs in its progeny validated the hypothesis that some factor present in the remaining A. roylei region was lethal when homozygously present in an onion genetic background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity in fertility potential and organo-sulphur compounds among garlics from Central Asia
Rina Kamenetsky,I. London Shafir,Furkat O. Khassanov,Chris Kik,A.W. van Heusden,M. Vrielink-van Ginkel,Karin Burger-Meijer,Jacques Auger,Ingrid Arnault,Haim D. Rabinowitch +9 more
TL;DR: Genetic fingerprinting by means of AFLP markers revealed three distinct groups within garlic accessions, differing also in flowering ability and organo-S content, which was found within garlic collections and between plants grown under differing environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights from the first genome assembly of Onion (Allium cepa)
Richard Finkers,Martijn van Kaauwen,Kai Ament,Karin Burger-Meijer,Raymond Egging,Henk Huits,L.P. Kodde,Laurens Kroon,Masayoshi Shigyo,Shusei Sato,Ben Vosman,Wilbert van Workum,Olga E. Scholten +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the onion line DHCU066619 was assembled into 14.9 Gb with an N50 of 464 Kb, of which 2.4 Gb was ordered into eight pseudomolecules using four genetic linkage maps and the remainder of the genome is available in 89.6 K scaffolds.

Insights from the first genome assembly of Onion (Allium cepa)
Richard Finkers,Martijn van Kaauwen,Kai Ament,Karin Burger-Meijer,Raymond Egging,Henk Huits,L.P. Kodde,Laurens Kroon,Masayoshi Shigyo,Shusei Sato,Ben Vosman,Wilbert van Workum,Olga E. Scholten +12 more
TL;DR: This assembly of the genome of a doubled haploid onion line DHCU066619, which resulted in a final assembly of 14.9 Gb, is the first high-quality genome sequence available for the study of onion and will be a valuable resource for further research.
