| Samenvatting: | A number of people, including lecturers, researchers and seed company staff,
have told me that they found the first edition of this book useful. This is the
best reward for writing such a book. A lot of new allium science has been
published since the first edition and progress has been rapid, particularly in
the fields of genetics, plant breeding and plant pathology, where the
techniques of molecular biology have had great impact. So, an attempt at an
update was clearly worthwhile. Shortly before writing the first edition I had
co-edited the multi-author Onions and Allied Crops with Haim Rabinowitch, so
up to date reviews by experts in the relevant science were to hand and
familiar to me. For this edition, I have had to resort more to the original
research literature, although the reviews by contributors to Rabinowitch and
Currah’s (2002) Allium Crop Science: Recent Advances were key sources for
many topics. A book of this breadth cannot attempt to be an exhaustive
review of the research literature and, inevitably, in choosing what research to
mention, there is some bias to what I am familiar with, notably towards work
from Wellesbourne, from the UK and what is published in English. I apologize
to those who have done interesting work which is not mentioned but,
nevertheless, I hope the book gives a reasonable overview of the current
scientific understanding about the vegetable alliums. I hope this second
edition will help to raise and maintain awareness of the huge and continuing
achievement of allium scientists in discovering so much fascinating and
useful information about these crops. These researchers are the real heroes
and heroines behind this book. I hope I have not misrepresented their work by
error, omission or misplaced emphasis |
