Abstract:

In order to speed up the cultivation of superior varieties of Allium plants, we summarized the application research of omics technology in the development of molecular markers, male sterility, phylogeny, stress response, tissue and organ development, food processing and storage, and the development and utilization of medicinal value in the Allium plants in recent years. We emphasized the importance of omics technology in the selection of excellent traits, screening of key genes and innovation of germplasm resources in Allium plants, clarified the advantages of multi-omics in precision breeding of Allium plants, and came to the conclusion that the application of omics technology greatly accelerated the genetic and molecular breeding process of Allium plants. It was proposed that the application of omics technologies in Allium species could provide insights for research on other non-model plants with large genomes, and it was suggested that future research should focus on the discovery of bioactive substances in Allium plants and the development and utilization of wild Allium resources.
