Seedborne fungi on stored onion seeds

Seed as a highly-valuable resource is preserved in collections for many years. Although the seed kept under optimal conditions, monitoring of germination and presence fungi during preservation great importance. Therefore aim this paper to examine health status 43 onion accessions timespan 15 years Institute Field Vegetable Crops collection. Germi?nation samples varied from 7-93%. The collection was determined on 33 tested samples. Fungi genera Acremonium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium Penicillium were developed. following species identified seeds F. proliferatum, graminearum, sporotrichioides, solani, pseudograminearum equiseti. Based factor analysis, affected germination, while occurrence Alternaria connected year harvest.
