“…(7) For example, 'Moldavski' with dry matter content of 12.1%, stores much more effectively than 'Texas Grano' with 9.2% dry matter. (8) Temperature, cultivar and seasonal change in weather conditions during the vegetation period show significant influence on dormancy, storage ability and quality of onions. Biochemical and physiological parameters such as decreases in sucrose levels and increases in respiration rates, exo-hydrolase activity and bulb-softening enzyme rates (polygalacturonase or polymethyl esterase) are responsible for ending the dormancy.…”

Onion is one of the most cultivated crops and its production is increasing worldwide. Proper handling and storage will add huge benefits to the supply of onion to meet the demand of consumers. For storage, it is important to understand onion physiology from the day it has been harvested from the field until it reaches the market. This review summarizes the scientific literature related to the physiology of the onion bulb with respect to growth regulators, temperature, and chemical controls. The biochemical changes that occur during dormancy break and sprouting have been discussed in detail. The three main environmental factors that can influence onions during storage are temperature, humidity and composition of the atmosphere in the storage area. Among these factors, temperature plays a paramount role in the physiology of onion during pre-and postharvest storage. Particular emphasis was given to plant growth A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 hormones (endogenous and exogenous) and their consequent effects with respect to dormancy, sprouting and biochemical changes that occur in onions.

“…The experimental data exposed that the after four month of storage the three-way cross hybrid TWCHO-5 showed minimum loss of storage bulbs by its per cent weight loss (9.26), number of sprouted (2.98) and rotten bulbs (2.81) followed by TWCHO-15 (9.64, 2.98 and 2.96, respectively). The onion bulbs, which has inherent potential, dry matter content and a greater number of dried scales are found to be better for it prolong shelf life [12]. The maximum per cent weight loss (41.00) was recorded in parental male line OMP-6 with 24.70 number of sprouted and 25.85 rotten bulbs.…”

The aim of present investigation was the assessment of the several new onion hybrids develop through three- way cross along with their parents for having less problem of weight losses due to sprouting and rotting, and long storage quality at normal room temperature and relative humidity. The design of experimental plot was complete randomized block design (CRBD) with three replications. This study was carried out in the year of 2018-2019 at Division of Vegetable Crops, ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hessaraghatta, Bengaluru, India. Thirty hybrids developed by three- way cross, thirteen parental lines and one check have been included for the experiment. Three F1 hybrids used as female lines and ten commercial varieties used as male testers, were taken to develop the hybrids through line x tester design. The bulbs of all these genotypes were kept for four months in normal storage chamber at 25-30°C room temperature with 65-70% relative humidity. The overall losses of per cent bulb weigh was recorded and conclude that the three-way hybrids TWCHO-15 (26.91) were recorded for smallest amount of loss followed by TWCHO-5 (27.02), TWCHO-14 (28.83) and TWCHO-4 (29.98). These hybrids can be suggested for more profit to onion grower by keeping for long shelf-life.
