“…Sowing date and plant age significantly influence the various growth and developmental traits of garlic bulb [1][2][3]. Garlic is produced in most areas with mild winters and some rainfall, followed by dry summers [4,5]. Since all garlic cultivars are sterile, reproduction is generally vegetative with the cloves serving as propagation material [6].…”

Photoperiod (light) and temperature as abiotic factors having significant impact on the garlic bulb morphology and quality. In various bulb plants including garlic, bulbing is affected by photoperiod, temperature, sowing date and the plant age. In this backdrop experiments were performed to understand the effect of different photoperiods (10 h/14 h, 12 h/12 h and 14 h/10 h (light/dark)), temperatures (25 °C/18 °C and 30 °C/20 °C (light/dark)), sowing dates (D0801: 1st August, D0901: 1st September and D1001: 1st October) and plant ages (A80, A60 and A40: 80, 60 and 40 days after planting) on garlic cultivars viz; G103, G024 and G2011-5. Parameters including morphological (plant height, fresh weight and pseudostem diameter), bulb attributes (diameter, weight, height and bulbing index), growth period and bulb quality related traits (total soluble solid (TSS), contents of soluble protein, soluble sugar, total sugar, glucose, sucrose, fructose, starch, total phenol and total flavonoid) were assayed. Longer photoperiod (14 h), higher temperature (30 °C), early sowing (D0801) and maximum plant age (A80) had maximum morphological and bulb quality related traits for cv. G103. These results showed that early sowing, maximum plant age, longer photoperiod and higher temperature are important for garlic bulb formation and quality. Moreover, the regulation of garlic bulb morphology and quality is achievable over the switch of sowing date, plant age, light and growth temperature.

“…Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a monocotyledonous herb that produces a bulb, an aggregate of sheath-covered cloves serving as the main economic organ (Stavelikova, 2008). It is the second most widely cultivated Allium distributed from boreal areas to tropic regions (Mhazo et al, 2014). Central Asia is recognized as the Allium's main center of origin which is supported by the discoveries of several primitive garlic types in the northwestern side Tien-Shan Mountains (Kotlinska et al, 1991;Etoh and Simon, 2002;Kamenetsky, 2007) and genetic fingerprinting (Volk et al, 2004;Kamenetsky et al, 2007;Zhao et al, 2011;Jo et al, 2012).…”

Cultivating garlic after the rice season has been increasingly attractive for rice farmers in the Philippines especially in areas where rice production is constrained by water scarcity. In Mindoro, Philippines, garlic cultivars planted include 'Mindoro White' (MW), 'Lubang' (LB), 'Batanes White' (BW), and 'Ilocos White' (IW). This study provides an in-depth analysis of major local garlic cultivars for classification and for selection of those with improved adaptation and marketability. For classification, we focused on phenotypic stable traits. Among these traits analyzed, clove weight (p < 0.001) and number of bulb leaf sheaths (p < 0.05) were significantly different. While there were small differences in their clove number and bulb color, bulb circumference (p < 0.001) and weight (p < 0.01) were highly significant. BW has the largest bulb circumference (126.50 ± 1.88 mm) and weight (22.38 ± 0.94 g) while MW has the smallest (103.30 ± 1.57 mm) and is lightest (13.78 ± 0.50 g). Bivariate analysis revealed that the highest bulb circumference and weight values of MW population correspond to the lowest values of BW population suggesting that these cultivars are two distinct populations. This was further supported by classical clustering analysis that distinguished them by bulb circumference (87.12%), clove number (76.01%) and number of clove vascular structures (78.27%). Across cultivars, measurements of the epidermal and parenchymal cells significantly differed. Qualitative analysis of the bulb characteristics showed that BW exhibits a regular, multi-fan bulb structure with three layers of large cloves implying market attractiveness while IW's distinctly tight clove's skin indicates long storage potential.
