REPRODUCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS <i>ALLIUM </i>L. AT INTRODUCTION
The work presents the results of long-term investigations into reproductive biology of 74 taxons of the genus Allium L. introduced in the Ufa Botanical Garden-Institute. All the onions involved in research flower under culture conditions; the majority of them have high seed productivity. Low seed productivity is observed in a few species: A. saxatile, A. caspium, A. cernuum, A. cyathophorum, A. giganteum (13,1-21,8 seeds). The majority of onions under consideration show promise for cultivation in the South Ural region.
