Abstract: Allium vegetables which are riched in nutritions and have high medicinal value play an important role in people’s life. This paper summarized the types of Allium and characters that have been genetically transformed successfully. At the same time, the transformation methods and the explant types used were stated in the paper. In addition, the paper completely presented the related factors to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in details and prospected the genetic transformation of Allium vegetables.

Key words: Allium vegetables, Genetic transformation, Research progress
