54a Information that's included about onion (a vegetable) (5,4) - GREEN BEAN (Vegetable)
I get 'Information' = GEN + RE (About), but the Onion/Bean part.

16d Detective routine GI picked up, following GI wearing singlet (7,12) - PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR (Detective)

I can see VEST (Singlet) and GI but not the rest.
