Abstract

Optimmum cultivation period was determined for producing seed bulb of Korean native Allium wakegi Araki in vitro in hydroponic culture. The growth gradually increased during cultivation period. In general, plants grown for 5 months produced significantly the highest bulb number and bulb fresh weight per plant. Raising the cultivation period from 1 to 5 months remarkably increased seed bulb yield.
