The name Onion originated from the Latin name Unio, meaning oneness or unity, or a kind of single onion. A native of Central Asia, onion is now grown in more than 140 countries under temperate to tropical conditions. In India, onions have been adapted from very early times, before Christian era. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are the main onion-growing states in the country. Barring north-eastern states and Kerala, basically all states grow onion. A crop of high culinary importance in daily diet creates ripples in political circles when consumers face shortage of onion and market price goes high. The Onion covers all aspects of the crop from its origin to marketing. In its eighteen chapters written by experts in the respective fields of onion, this monograph reviews status and prospects of onion research and development. It covers genetic resources, genetics, biotechnology, breeding, crop production, crop protection, seed production, physiology, biochemistry, processing and storage as well as price volatility aspects of onion. Each chapter presents complete information from historical aspects to latest times, supported by data, illustrations and references. Readers will find all information on onion in one spine in this book. (jacket). Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 116137
