Determination Of The Apomictic Fruit Set Ratio In Some Turkish Walnut (Juglans Regia L.) Genotypes, Beki̇r Şan, Hati̇ce Dumanoğlu Jan 2006

Determination Of The Apomictic Fruit Set Ratio In Some Turkish Walnut (Juglans Regia L.) Genotypes, Beki̇r Şan, Hati̇ce Dumanoğlu

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was carried out to determine the amount of apomictic fruit set in 10 Turkish walnut (Juglans regia L.) genotypes in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Yalova-1, Şebin, Bilecik, KR-1, KR-2, Şen-2, 07-KOR-l, Tokat-1, Kaman-1 and Kaman-5 cultivars and selections were used in the experiment. Female flowers were bagged and/or pollinated with pollen of the apple cv. 'Golden Delicious' (Malus x domestica Borkh.), and the apomictic fruit set was determined 8 weeks after anthesis. The percentage of apomictic fruit set without pollination ranged from 0.5% to 1.6% in 5 walnut genotypes, namely Yalova-1, Bilecik, 07-KOR-l, Tokat-1 and Kaman-1, in the …


Somatic Embryogenesis From Immature Cotyledons Of Apomictic And Non-Apomictic Seeds In Walnut (Juglans Regia L.), Beki̇r Şan, Hati̇ce Dumanoğlu Jan 2006

Somatic Embryogenesis From Immature Cotyledons Of Apomictic And Non-Apomictic Seeds In Walnut (Juglans Regia L.), Beki̇r Şan, Hati̇ce Dumanoğlu

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Somatic embryogenesis from immature cotyledons of apomictic and open-pollinated seeds in some walnut (Juglans regia L.) genotypes was investigated. To obtain apomictic seeds, female flowers were bagged and/or pollinated with pollen of the apple cv. 'Golden Delicious' (Malus x domestica Borkh.). The best cotyledon stage for somatic embryogenesis was determined in open-pollinated seeds of 10 walnut genotypes. Immature cotyledons were cultured 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 weeks after anthesis. As a result of this experiment, cotyledons of seeds thought to be of apomictic origin were cultured 8 weeks after anthesis. Driver and Kuniyuki walnut (DKW) medium supplemented with 1 …
