Local Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.) Selections in Turkey
Abstract :
Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.) is one of the most investigated fruit species in selection studies in Turkey. The richness of our country on genetic variation of almond have provided facility for achievement in breeding studies in a short period of time. Because almond is cultivated in many regions of Turkey, it is very important to develop varieties suitable to a certain area. Therefore, several superior almond genotypes such as Dokuzoğuz-II (120-1) and Gülcan I (101-23) were obtained during the selection studies performed in different areas of our country and were registered as cultivars. This review was aimed to compare significant properties of some almond genotypes selected in different regions of our country and to use them in the future studies.
