The focus of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of innovative diagnostic assays and molecularmarker assays for the improvement of salad onion and leek (Allium spp.) seed quality. The projectpartners are Tozer Seeds Ltd (Cobham, UK), who sell Allium seeds in the UK and export worldwide, andthe Seed Science Lab at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL, Perez/Steinbrecher/Leubner). Thismulti-disciplinary team will provide a solution to the short shelf-life of seed, a particular issue for onionseeds which are often damaged during storage/transport and thus subject to accelerated ageing.Sowing of damaged seed results in reduced germination and poor seedling establishment, which causesa reduction of healthy produce. Our collaboration aims to employ novel and innovative technologies todeliver superb seed quality.

本研究的重点是论证创新的诊断分析和分子标记分析在沙拉、洋葱和葱(Allium spp.)种子质量。该项目的合作伙伴是Tozer Seeds Ltd(英国科巴姆)和伦敦皇家霍洛威大学种子科学实验室(RHUL，Perez/Steinbrecher/Leubner)。Tozer Seed Ltd在英国销售洋葱种子，并出口到世界各地。这个多学科小组将提供种子保质期短的解决方案，这是洋葱种子在储存/运输过程中经常受损并加速老化的一个特殊问题。播种受损种子会导致发芽减少和幼苗生长不良，这会导致健康产量的减少。我们的合作旨在利用新颖和创新的技术来提供卓越的种子质量。
