Turkey is one of the most important countries in the production of confectionary pumpkin. The aim
of the study is to reveal the amount of some mineral elements in seed coat and the seed of confectionary pumpkin
candidates which gathered from different regions of the country and reached in S5 level. In the present study, a
total of twenty-seven pumpkin genotypes which were self-pollinated to the level of S5 and two local population
characterized genotypes were used as plant material. Contents of P, K, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu, S and Zn minerals were
determined in the seed coat and seed, separately. Results of the study indicated that the highest content inside of
the seeds as following genotypes; “A14” and “A25” for P, “A14” for K, “B17” and “A8” for Ca, “B33” and “C24”
for Fe, “A14” for Mg, “C30” and “A32” for Mn, “A14” for Cu, “A14” for S and “A14” for Zn. Seed coat produced
the highest content as following; “B14” for P, “A14” for K, “A11” for Ca, “C25” and “B25” for Fe, “A11” for
Mg, Ürgüp Sivrisi (population characterized) for Mn, “A33” for Cu, “C18” for S and “A14” for Zn. Consequently,
“A14” was found as the highest content of nutritional compounds.
