| Abstract:
In this study which was carried out in 1990 and 1992 on Darende, our aim was the selection of quality forms and forms which bear every year in wild apricot population. 63 forms were selected because of late flowering and good fruit quality characteristics from about 5000 forms. In the selected forms, the average fruit weights were between 26.67 g (Nr.01) and 78.72 g (Nr.89); the seed weights were between 1.49 g (Nr.02) and 5.09 g (Nr.33); the kernel weights were between 0.35 g (Nr.69) and 1.34 g (Nr.27); the soluble solid contents were between 9.00 %(Nr.24) and 20.75 % (Nr.38), and titratable acidity was between 0.245 % (Nr.17) and 3.752 % (Nr.58). | |
