Vegetable Genetic Resources of Turkey

Abstract: Turkey is an important center for plant genetic resources and genetic diversity. It is also one of the domestication centers where ancient agriculture started. Traditionally small-scale agriculture in Turkey has been important in bringing together some species that have hybridized causing increases in variation. The status of vegetable species germplasm, collection and characterization activities, cultivar breeding programs and utilization of the vegetable genetic resources in Turkey are detailed. Conservation… Show more

“…Surtepe I, Surtepe 2, Keskince 1 and Keskince 3 lines are recommended for kebabs which are consumed intensively by the people of Şanlıurfa, while Mezra 5 line is recommended for other kind of meals. Conservation and maintenance of these valuable genetic resources are necessary because these populations are important sources of diversity that can be used in future breeding programs (Balkaya and Karaagac 2005). The selected lines of Sanliurfa are canditates varieties for eggplant breeding programme.…”

“…In the annual pumpkin crop production ranking, India stands at 2 nd position with a production rate of 3,500,000 tons after China (6,309,623 tons). [20] According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pumpkin is a highly valuable vegetable owing to its anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial properties. [21] Pumpkin seed shell is a naturally occurring fibrous coating material that serves to shield the internal seed.…”
