Inheritance of different undertones of onion (Allium cepa L.) dry skin color and the relationship between color and adherence

Roch W. Doruchowski

Abstract


The research was carried out in 1977 and 1978. The inheritance of undertones, dry skin color from light straw to brown was controlled by two additive genes. The segregation ratio obtained was 15:1 and 11:5. The dry skin of a dark color (dark yellow, bronze, brown ochre, orange-brown) was stronger than the skin with a straw yellow or yellow color. Skin adherence was strictly related to its color. This was proved by statistical analysis of the correlation.
