Garlic, an economically important vegetable, spice, and medicinal crop, produces highly enlarged bulbs and unique organosulfur compounds. Here, we report a chromosome-level genome assembly for garlic, with a total size of approximately 16.24 Gb, as well as the annotation of 57 561 predicted protein-...

The genus Allium belongs to the botanical family Amaryllidaceae and includes economically important crops such as onion, garlic, bunching onion, and leek, used as vegetables, spices, and traditional medicines. The large sizes of Allium genomes hamper the genetic dissection of agronomically important...

Abstract：This paper reviews the following five aspects in garlic（Allium sativum L.）molecular biology：Firstly，the development and utilization of seven types of garlic genome molecular markers including RAPD，AFLP，ISSR，SSR，SRAP，InDel and SNP in genetic diversity analysis，genetic map construction and ge...
