SummaryUnder the arid tropical conditions of the Sudan, where seasonal variations in photoperiod are small but where temperatures are high, there is evidence from the performance of both local and introduced onion varieties that temperature has considerable influence on bulbing. The onset of bulbing does not prohibit the emergence of bladed leaves under such high temperature conditions. The size of the onion plant may be an important factor in the bulbing response under conditions of high temperature and small variations in photoperiod.

The present work was performed using the common onion (Allium cepa L.) as a bioindicator of toxicity of heavy metals in river water. The test waters were collected at two sampling sites: at the beginning and the end of the Toledo River. The bulbs of A. cepa L. were grown in test water with nine concentration levels of copper, zinc and lead from 0.1 to 50 ppm. In the laboratory, the influence of these test liquids on the root growth was examined during five days. For test liquids containing below 0.03-ppm dissolved Cu the root growth was reduced by 40% However, the same reduction occurred for 1-ppm dissolved Zn. For dissolved Pb, results reveal toxicity above 0.1 and 0.6 ppm at the beginning and the end of the Toledo river water, respectively.
