Flowering of Allium moly L. I. Flower formation

Cross sections of apices of Allium moly bulbs, stored dry at different temp eratures demonstrated, that modification of the apex structure as the begin ning of inflorescence differentiation was found earliest at 11-14 degrees C storage temperature. Highest percentage of flowering plants, however were found after dry storage at 20 degrees or 23 degrees C. It was assumed, that low temperature requirement for the elongation of the flower stalk is low, although bud length of stored bulbs is increased at lower storage temperat ures.
