Recently, the flies are used to pollinate onion for seed production in Korea. However, the use of flies for pollination has caused complaints by local residents in onion seed production owing to sanitation issues and smell. Therefore, we studied the effects of pollination with bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) and flies(e.g., houseflies, flesh flies, blue bottle flies and blowflies) at small net(1.8m×2.3m×1.8m) in the greenhouse(66m2) for onion seed production. Although the number of flies was about 70 times than number of bumblebee workers, flies and bumblebees showed equivalent pollination efficiency. Therefore, pollination by B. terrestris can be used as an alternative approach in seed production of onion. An analysis of the most appropriate colony of B. terrestris for seed production of onion in small net showed that colony composed of fifty to eighty workers per small net was the most efficient level. When early maturing onion cultivars ‘Salad-5’ and ‘Yeonsinwhang’, and mid-late maturing onion cultivar ‘Colossus’ were pollinated by B. terrestris and files in small net, B. terrestris showed rather efficient pollination efficiency than flies or was equivalent to flies. In addition, difference among onion cultivars was affecting pollination effect by flies but was not affecting pollination effect by B.terrestris.

The bulb storability of eight red and ten yellow onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars grown primarily in Korea was evaluated. During storage, sprouting occurred earlier in red cultivars than in yellow cultivars. In addition, the ratio of sprouted to unsprouted bulbs increased more rapidly in red cultivars than in yellow cultivars. However, not all yellow cultivars had strong storabilities. Bulb storability of three yellow cultivars was as poor as that of red cultivars, suggesting only a slight possibility of a pleiotropic effect of color and bulb storability. Meanwhile, F3 lines of a red cultivar selected based on stronger storabilities showed intermediate storabilities between those of the red and yellow cultivars, implying that strong storability could be obtained by successive selection. In contrast, F1 hybrids from crosses between yellow and red breeding lines showed poor storability compared with the yellow cultivars, indicating that poor storability may be dominant over strong storability. The relationships between color and other traits that potentially affect storability, such as fresh and dry weight, water content, and firmness of bulbs, were evaluated. No significant differences in these traits were observed between the two colors, although the water content of yellow cultivars and the dry weight of red cultivars were slightly higher than their counterparts. Correlation analyses between bulb storability and other traits, including weight, water content, and firmness, also showed no significant correlations. In this study, no correlations were identified between bulb color, storability, and other traits. However, based on these results, red cultivars with stronger storabilities could be developed through successive selection of bulbs with stronger storabilities.

The production of hybrid onion (Allium cepa L.) seed is economically feasible using systems of cytoplasmic-genic male sterility(CMS). The identification of cytoplasm types might be helpful to development of sterile and maintainer lines. Due to this reason, a knowledge of the cytoplasm type is essential for hybrid breeding in onion. Especially, due to the biennial generation time of onion, to distinguish of onion cytoplasm type in individual plant may be helpful to reduce the efforts in a breeding program, when new sterile lines and the corresponding maintainer lines be developed. In our study, we applied the PCR-marker (orfA-501) to identify the cytoplasmic genotypes of collected 100 accessions of bulb onion. Among accessions, S-cytoplasm was found in 57 accessions. Nineteen accessions possessed only N-cytoplasm and twenty four accessions possessed both S- and N-cytoplasm.

Interspecific hybrids between onion (Allium cepa L.) and green onion (Allium fistulosum L.) were produced using pistillate parents of two male sterile onion (msC1, msC2) and one male sterile green onion line (msF1), and pollen parents of one male fertile
