Abstract
Onion bulbs of 3 inbred lines were stored during the winter in 4 different storage temperature regimes. Traits directly and indirectly associated with seed production were studied the following summers. The inbred lines differed in their responses and many traits were affected by the storage treatments. The storage treatment of 10°C for 12 weeks followed by 2° C for 12 weeks resulted in a significantly higher seed yield than did storage at 2° C throughout the entire period. Inbred 2399 had a higher seed yield than the other inbreds. Associated with high seed yields of 2399 was early flowering, a high number of leaves/bulb, tall seed stalks and a high number of florets/bulb.
