Abstract
The present investigation on “Identification of male sterile lines in white onion’’ (Allium cepa L.)” was carried out at the Vegetable crops division, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru. The experimental site had red clay loam soil and is located an altitude of 890 meters above mean sea level.
The experiment was carried out with Randomized block design with 5 genotypes and 3 replications namely PW0-18, TW-18, PWR-18, RW-18, AW-O-18. Male sterile lines and their respective fertile lines were identified by visual observation, bagging and staining technique in the 5 genotypes and they are morphologically characterized for the growth and yield related characters in both bulb and seed crop. Among the observations taken PWR-18 performed well in growth and AW-O-18 is performed well in yield related characters in bulb crop. In seed crop PWR-18 showed well in both growth and yield related characters. Floral characterization of the genotypes was done to study of development of flower from bud to seed in onion.
