The authors studied 12 varieties of leaf, root, and petiole celery. The morphological parameters of seeds (such as their length, the lengths of the endosperm and the embryo) varied significantly. Samples of “K-635” and “Vanyusha” exceeded the average seed length at a p-value of 5%, and at 1% for the “Royal night” variety. The varieties “Royal night,” “Prague giant,” “Vanyusha,” and “K-635” had the above-average endosperm length. The varieties “Apple,” “K-635”, “Senezh”, and “Royal night” significantly exceeded the average embryo length. Different varieties displayed diverse coefficients of morphological parameter variation. They fluctuated between 12.0% and 17.8% for the embryo length, between 9.4% and 17.3% for the endosperm length, and between 9.4% and 17.9% for seed length. The authors established the I emb/end index, denoting the embryo to endosperm ratio. The sample maximums of this index (0.91) were observed in the “Malachite” and “Senezh” varieties. The authors analyzed statistical correlation for three parameter pairs and established the R seed/end , R seed/emb , and R end/emb indexes. The R seed/end index fluctuated from 0.774 in “Senezh” variety to 0.924 in “Malachite” variety. The other three indexes were relatively weak. R end/emb fluctuated between 0.192 and 0.318, and R seed/emb fluctuated between 0.157 and 0.254.
