The present invention provides a means for accurately discriminating whether an onion is an onion with no pungent taste and/or tear-inducing property. The present invention relates to a method of discriminating traits of an onion, comprising a first determination step of determining presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 corresponding to alliinase gene 1 in a nucleic acid derived from the onion, and a second determination step of determining presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 corresponding to alliinase gene 2, wherein the onion is discriminated to be an onion with no pungent taste and/or tear-inducing property if the presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is not determined in the first determination step and the presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 is determined in the second determination step.

The present disclosure provides for unique onion plants with disease resistance and desirable bulb color and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with multiple disease resistance coupled with a desirable bulb color. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with disease resistance and/or desirable bulb color are provided.

The invention provides seeds and plants of the onion hybrid designated SVNS7044. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of onion hybrid SVNS7044, and to methods for producing an onion plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another onion plant, such as an onion plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of onion hybrid SVNS7044 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits, including the bulbs and gametes of such plants.
