Nectar and flower traits of different onion male sterile lines related to pollination efficiency and seed yield of F1 hybrids

Honey bees are the main pollinators of onion crops for seed production, but owing to low attractiveness of flowers, pollination is often inadequate. Pollination problems result in low seed yields. This problem is accentuated when male sterile lines (MSL) are used to produce hybrid onion seeds. In th...
