Key Points

Selfed onion flower heads showed significantly poorer seed setting compared to non-selfed heads.
The weight of seeds from selfed flower heads was notably lower than those from non-selfed varieties.
Analysis was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station Hagari during the 1934 season, using bulbs of the same origin.
These findings indicate significant challenges in achieving high-quality seed production through self-pollination.

Implication

Observations reveal lower seed weight in selfed onion flower heads, suggesting breeding challenges for pure lines.

Abstract

For breeding pure lines in onion.the flower heads were selfed at the Agricultural Research Station Hagari,in the season 1934.In the selfed heads very poor setting was observed and the weight of the seed also was found to be much lower than that obtained from the non-selfed.
