INFLUENCE OF VARIETAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON MORPHOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF PARSNIP SEEDS
In 2016-2019, the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing - a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Research Institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences-conducted studies of parsnip seeds of the Kulinar and Round varieties grown in the open ground in the conditions of the Moscow region. The length of each seed, endosperm, and germ was analyzed sequentially. The average values of the parameters, the coefficient of variation, the significance of differences between the variants, the contribution of factors and the relationship between the parameters were calculated using the Pearson coefficient. Since a significant part of the variability of the morphometric parameters of parsnip seeds is hereditary, and there is a real possibility of their selective improvement.
