The present invention includes long-day onion plants comprising bulbs having low pungency and methods for obtaining such onions. The present invention also provides reagents and materials that can be used in the methods for obtaining such onions.

A new and distinct cultivar of Allium ornamental onion plant named ‘Bubble Bath’ is a large upright habit, with glaucous, stiff, broad, strap-like, upright, flattened, gray-green foliage with slight longitudinal twisting, and numerous, tightly-clustered, light lavender flowers forming a large, globose, upright umbels. The new plant is useful for containers, landscaping and cut flowers.

A hybrid onion variety NUN 07212 ONL is disclosed as well as seeds and plants and bulbs thereof. Onion variety NUN 07212 ONL is a globe shape, long day onion variety.

Provided herein are garlic plants capable of producing substantial amounts of botanical seed, i.e. at least 500 viable seeds per garlic plant. Also provided herein is a use of the present garlic plant for the production of botanical seeds, i.e. at least 500 viable seeds per garlic plant and to seeds and plant parts obtainable from the present garlic plants. Specifically, provided herein are garlic plants capable of producing at least 500 viable seeds per garlic plant, representative seed of said garlic plant deposited under NCIMB 42869.

The present invention relates to a genetic marker for determining the presence or absence of one or more QTLs conferring a reduced pyruvate level in an Allium cepa plant or plant part, wherein the marker is selected from the group consisting of a marker linked to a reduced pyruvate conferring QTL located on chromosome 2, a marker linked to a reduced pyruvate conferring QTL located on chromosome 1 and a marker linked to a reduced pyruvate conferring QTL located on chromosome 7. The present invention further relates to the use of the marker of the invention for determining the presence or absence of one or more QTLs conferring a reduced pyruvate level in an Allium cepa plant or plant part. The present invention further relates to a method for identifying and/or selecting an Allium cepa plant or plant part comprising determining in said plant or plant part the presence or absence of one or more markers of the invention. The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid and the use of the nucleotide sequences as provided herein for marker assisted selection of an Allium cepa plant or plant part.

The present invention relates to a hybrid between a leek and a garlic plant. More specifically, the invention relates to an interspecific hybrid plants resulting from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant. Specifically, the present invention relates to Interspecific hybrid plants derived from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant, wherein the hybrid plants are capable of producing seed and contains nuclear genomic material derived from both said Allium ampeloprasum plant and said Allium sativum plant, and further wherein the interspecific hybrid plants contain at least 250 mg/kg of allicin when determined in the white part of the leaf sheet of the plants and furthermore wherein the interspecific hybrid plants are obtainable, obtained or derived, from an interspecific hybrid plant as deposited under accession number NCIMB 42564.
