Impact of Biotic and Abiotic Stresses on Onion Production: Potential Mitigation Approaches in Modern Era

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Plant Breeding for Vegetable Crops in Post-genomics Era

Abstract

Onion is one of the most commonly consumed vegetable crops in the world, following tomato. Biotic and abiotic stresses are known to affect onion production, causing significant yield losses, similar to other vegetables and main crops. It is estimated that about 40% of overall losses in agricultural production is related to insects, pests, and weeds. Likewise, environmental fluctuation and climate change are threatening the production rate of onion. Strangely, in the era of omics approach to understand plants’ responses to environmental changes, there is limited literature regarding onion response to biotic and abiotic stresses. This chapter enlightens the impacts of biotic and abiotic stresses with the potential exploitation of modern plant improvement techniques.
