Abstract

In this study, 292 female fig genotypes, (including foreign origins) in the fig field gene bank, were evaluated for qualitative characteristics in IPGRI (International Plant Genetic Resources Institute) definitions. These features are tree growth (tree growth power, branching, shoot length, etc.), leaf (leaf area, shape, number of lobes, etc.), fruit (fruit weight, color, ostiole opening, flesh thickness, etc.). Generally, non-metric definitions of these features were classified between certain ranges and expressed as percentage. For example; tree growth of genotypes was observed to be strong in 33% , and, apical dominance was determined in 17% of the genotypes. 60% of the genotypes have a medium (10-20cm) shoot length and, leaf area varies between 250-400cm2 in %53 . The color of the fruits was determined as yellow in 34%, green in 32%, purple in 21% and black in 13% of genotypes. Within the scope of this continuous project, the collection of multiple data continues.

This project covers the general characterization evaluation of all genotypes and cultivars available in the female fig field gene bank of the 'Fig (Ficus carica L.) Genetic Resources Conservation and Characterization' project. Nilgün TAN, Ramazan KONAK, Eşref TUTMUŞ, Dr. Birgul ERTAN, Dr. Özlem DOĞAN, Dr. İlknur KÖSOĞLU, Prof. Dr. Ferit ÇOBANOĞLU contributed to the project in 2005-2006 (each researcher as 2.1%). These researchers were not involved in the project. The data in this project has been updated since 2015. The project continues with leader Dr. Arzu AYAR with the contribution of other researchers Berrin ŞAHİN, Demet MUTLU, Mesut ÖZEN, Aytekin BELGE and Çağlar KARACAOĞLAN. We thanks to all researchers which have been worked this project. There is no conflict of interest between the authors. In the research and ethics of publication were complied with and also ethics committee approval is not required.We thank to General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policy (TAGEM) and Fig Research Institute in Aydın in Turkey.

Dişi İncir (Ficus carica var. domestica L.) Genetik Kaynakları Muhafaza ve Karakterizasyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, incir arazi gen bankasında bulunan yabancı orijinliler de dahil olmak üzere 292 dişi incir genotipi, IPGRI (Uluslararası Bitki Genetik Kaynakları Enstitüsü) tanımlamalarındaki nitel özellikler yönünden değerlendirilmiştir. Bu özellikler ağaç gelişimi (ağaç büyüme gücü, dallanma, sürgün uzunluğu vb.), yaprak (yaprak alanı, şekli, lopların sayısı vb.), meyve (meyve ağırlığı, rengi, ostiol genişliği, tabla kalınlığı vb.) özellikleridir. Genellikle bu özelliklere ait metrik olmayan tanımlamalar belirli aralıklar arasında sınıflandırılarak, %’de olarak ifade edilmiştir. Örneğin; ağaç gelişiminin genotiplerin %33’ünde kuvvetli olduğu saptanmış, %17’sinde apikal dominansi görülmüştür. Genotiplerin %60’ı orta (10-20cm) sürgün uzunluğuna sahip olup, yaprak alanı %53’ünde 250-400cm2 arasında değişmektedir. Meyvelerin rengi, genotiplerin %34’ünde sarı, %32’sinde yeşil, %21’inde mor ve %13’ünde siyah olarak saptanmıştır. Bu sürekli proje kapsamında, çoklu verilerin alınmasına devam edilmektedir.
