Ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene differentially regulate gene expression during onion sprout suppression.

Cools, Katherine; Chope, Gemma Amy; Hammond, John P.; Thompson, Andrew J.; Terry, Leon A. (American Society of Plant Biologists, 2011-07-31)

Onion (Allium cepa) is regarded as a nonclimacteric vegetable. In onions, however, ethylene can suppress sprouting while the ethylene-binding inhibitor 1- methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can also suppress sprout growth; yet, ...
Understanding the mechanisms behind onion bulb dormancy in relation to the potential for improved onion storage

Chope, Gemma Amy (Cranfield UniversityCranfield Health, 2006-12)

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most economically important Allium crop. Onion cultivars adapted for growth in temperate regions require long days for bulb initiation, so the summer crop is stored over-winter. Deterioration ...
Use of canonical variate analysis to differentiate onion cultivars by mineral content as measured by ICP-AES

Chope, Gemma Amy; Terry, Leon A. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2009-08-01)

Three onion cultivars viz. Renate, Ailsa Craig and SS1 were characterised according to their mineral content. The concentrations of the macronutrients phosphorus, potassium, calcium, manganese and sulphur and the ...
