“…A high heritability and genetic advance as a % mean was detected for the average weight of bulbs (kg), total soluble solids ( • Brix), neck thickness (cm), total sugar (%), reducing sugar (%), and bolting (%) in the present study, indicating that superior genotypes can be developed by effectively selecting these characters. Our findings were corroborated with the findings of Bal et al [6], Bal et al [9], Hosamani et al, [28], Porta et al, [29], Khosa and Datt [30], and Ijeomah et al [31]. In addition, traits revealing a higher h 2 coupled with low to moderate genetic gain are controlled by environmental effects [38].…”

“…Other traits taken under study exhibited low to moderate magnitudes of GCV and PCV. Such findings were corroborated with the findings of Bal et al [6], Bal et al [9], Hosamani et al [28], Porta et al [29], Khosa and Dutt [30], and Ijeomah et al [31]. Heritability (h 2 ) further helps in gauging to what degree or extent a trait is acquired/inherited [32].…”

“…Thus, it can not be determined whether a large amount of produced onions is consumed by people [8]. Hence, germplasm evaluation is of utmost importance in terms of crop genetic and agronomic enhancement in the future and at present [9]. The unavailability of high-yielding cultivars along with a lack of genetic variability, data classification, and proper evaluation widens the gap between the actual and expected yields of any crop [10].…”

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a prominent spice and vegetable crop farmed commercially worldwide. Variability is viewed as a key signal for any red onion enhancement effort. The current study was, therefore, carried out to learn about genetic variability and diversity among selected genotypes of 20 red onions at the C Block Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, India, during the winter (rabi) season of 2021–2022, in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The characters, viz., average weight of bulbs (kg), neck thickness (cm), total soluble solids (°Brix), total sugar (%), and reducing sugar (%) demonstrated high heritability (97.38–99.97%) coupled with high genetic gain. Such traits were the least influenced by environmental effects, and additive gene action played a pivotal role in the manifestation of such characters. Traits with high heritability values (51.37–67.94%) demonstrate that the observed variability was under genetic control and provide an enormous range of possibilities for accomplishing selection depending on their phenotypic performances. For traits with moderate heritability, viz., bolting (%) and doubling (%), selection would be less effective but can still be given great importance. Based on correlation analysis, the character’s neck thickness, equatorial diameter, and polar diameter unveiled highly positive genetic correlation with the average weight of bulbs (0.120, 0.112; 0.194, 0.210 and 0.120, 0.112 for phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficient values, respectively), which indicates that the average weight of a bulb would be increased by an increase in such components. According to path coefficient analysis, the equatorial diameter exhibited the most positive direct effect on the average weight of bulbs (0.968), followed by polar diameter (0.687) and neck thickness (0.159). A wide range of variations for qualitative traits, including foliage colour, leaf width, foliage behaviour, the degree of leaf waxiness, the shape of the bulb, and bulb skin colour were observed. Based on Mahalanobish D2 analysis, the genotypes were divided into four clusters. The highest number of genotypes was found in cluster I (eleven), followed by cluster IV (six genotypes) and cluster II (two genotypes). Cluster III had a single genotype and was monogenic. The study confirmed that a wide genetic variation prevailed in the onion genotypes taken under study, which could thereby be utilized in breeding programmes.

“…Furthermore, because average bulb weight has a direct effect on onion bulb production, the variety with the highest average bulb weight indicates strong yielding potential and superior performance. The variation in the bulb yield differed between the genotypes was also reported by Hirave et al [15], Bal et al [16] and Begna et al [14].…”

In order to identify suitable onion varieties for Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh, an On Farm Testing (OFT) was conducted during the Rabi seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-24 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra operated mandals of Ananthapur district. Two high yielding onion varieties were tested with five locations during each year in comparison to that of farmers variety of being grown by the farmers of the area. Different treatments included onion varieties of NHRDF Red 4 (TO1), NHRDF Red 3 (TO2) and Bellary local variety as farmers practice. The results revealed that highest plant height (58.25 cm), maximum number of leaves (8.35), lesser duration (123 days), maximum weight of bulb (77.76 g) and bulb yield (26.45 t/ha) was reported from NHRDF Red 4 than NHRDF Red-3 and farmers local variety (Bellary local). Similarly, NHRDF Red 4 variety recorded higher gross returns (Rs. 2,49,066/ha), net returns (Rs. 1,11,407/ha) and B:C ratio of 1.81 as compared to other two varieties. From the study, it is concluded that onion variety NHRDF Red-4 had better performance in the trial and can be recommended for cultivation in Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh.

“…As medicinal plants, chilli peppers are known to possess many biochemically and pharmacologically active compounds, but the health benefits pertaining to chilli consumption are in question among health specialists, whether it can be single-handedly or in synergy modulated to improve human health [ 3 ]. Chilli fruit are known to possess up to 15 or more capsaicinoids, a preponderance of which are dihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, nordi-hydrocapsaicin; 23 flavonoids including apigenin, luteolin, quercetin [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ], and some catechins and cyanidins are notable. Thus, by consuming chilli one not only ingests vitamins and nutrients but capsaicinoids and flavonoids as well.…”

Worldwide, since ages and nowadays, traditional medicine is well known, owing to its biodiversity, which immensely contributed to the advancement and development of complementary and alternative medicines. There is a wide range of spices, herbs, and trees known for their medicinal uses. Chilli peppers, a vegetable cum spice crop, are bestowed with natural bioactive compounds, flavonoids, capsaicinoids, phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and pharmacologically active compounds with potential health benefits. Such compounds manifest their functionality over solo-treatment by operating in synergy and consortium. Co-action of these compounds and nutrients make them potentially effective against coagulation, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, dreadful diseases, such as cancer, and microbial diseases, alongside having good anti-oxidants with scavenging ability to free radicals and oxygen. In recent times, capsaicinoids especially capsaicin can ameliorate important viral diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2. In addition, capsaicin provides an ability to chilli peppers to ramify as topical agents in pain-relief and also benefitting man as a potential effective anesthetic agent. Such phytochemicals involved not only make them useful and a much economical substitute to wonder/artificial drugs but can be exploited as obscene drugs for the production of novel stuffs. The responsibility of the TRPV1 receptor in association with capsaicin in mitigating chronic diseases has also been justified in this study. Nonetheless, medicinal studies pertaining to consumption of chilli peppers are limited and demand confirmation of the findings from animal studies. In this artifact, an effort has been made to address in an accessible format the nutritional and biomedical perspectives of chilli pepper, which could precisely upgrade and enrich our pharmaceutical industries towards human well-being.
