- "In the framework of this project, our collection missions to Central Asia have gathered over 300 garlic genotypes from locally cultivated or natural populations in Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, Kirgizistan, and Kazakhstan. This region is recognized as the primary centre of origin of garlic and the main and richest source for genetic diversity, worldwide. The collected clones were evaluated in Israel for their potential fertility and other useful traits. It was found that following stalk elongation, flower differentiation, pollination, and fertilization, true garlic seeds might be obtained in more than 30 clones..."
