Morphological Characterization of A. vineale

Allium vineale L. is a wild edible species. This species collected from nature by the local people in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and consumed as vegetable. Aboveground organs A. plants are used herbed cheese production eastern provinces. Collection not sustainable way this can be propagated via seeds bulbils. It suitable for cultivation under field protected conditions. For agricultural species, new cultivars with improved yield quality traits have to developed. In study, an germplasm was created aim developing that production. The accessions included were characterized desired such adaptability culture conditions, agronomic characteristics harvest uniformity. phenotypic diversity examined using morphological descriptors derived International Union protection New Varieties Plants (UPOV). According clustering principal component analysis (PCA) made evaluation features, divided into two main groups based on locations. Germplasm differ each other leaf waxiness color intensity. distinguished Alliums present same area thin leaves, short plant height, multiple bulbils flower scapes.
