The oleaster plant is a species used in afforestation of areas not suitable for agriculture due to its resistance to drought, salinity, and alkaline conditions. In addition, different parts of the oleaster plant (leaves, flowers, and fruits) can be used in different ways in the medicine, cosmetics, and food sectors. It can also be used as an orname...

This study was conducted to determine the protein, fat, mineral, fatty acid, and bioactive compound contents of 47 walnut hybrids obtained by intraspecies hybridization of G1, G2, and G3 walnut genotypes with Chandler, Maraş 18, and Pedro walnut cultivars. A wide variation was found between the hybrid walnut genotypes regarding the investigated pro...

Apricot is one of the important stone fruits produced in the world. In this study, genetic variation was investigated based on SRAP marker technique and morphological data in 120 genotypes and parent plants obtained by inbreeding in some apricot cultivars such as Ninfa, Proce de Tyrinthe, Palstein, Hacıhaliloğlu, Hasanbey, Aprikoz and Kabaaşı. In t...

Plums have recently played a significant role in agriculture with their high fiber content, vitamins, and antioxidant substances. In addition to being consumed as fresh fruit worldwide, it is grown commercially in dried form or as various processed additives. In this study, the variation among plum genotypes growing naturally in the garden borders...

This study was carried out to determine the fatty acid composition, bioactive compounds, and mineral element content of standard hazelnut cultivars and accessions from the Eastern Black Sea region. A wide variation was determined in terms of the traits examined between hazelnut accessions and cultivars. Most of the accessions investigated had highe...

Today, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines are used in sugar beet breeding programs. Superior hybrid cultivars are developed by crossing parents with high overall combining ability. Molecular genetic advances allow to predict potential heterosis between parental lines. The present study was conducted to determine the magnitude of genetic variabili...

Türkiye is the homeland of many plant species and has a significant genetic diversity. It is seen that different natural almond species grown in the region were included in the breeding research conducted on almonds, which is one of these critical species. In this study, natural almond genotypes grown in Türkiye and different commercial foreign-ori...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) is one of the economically important crops grown for both food and sugar production. Breeders continue breeding studies to improve plant characteristics in line with their wishes. Along with sugar beet breeding; productive, high sugar content, durable superior varieties are being developed. However, their...
