Determination of Morphological and Phenological Relationships in Some Local Tomato Genotypes

38694

All over the world and in our country, tomato is the species grown at the highest amount within the Solanaceae family. Identification of the different gene sources that can be used in breeding studies related to tomato is important; therefore, local varieties are always found to be interesting. In this study, 61genotypes consisting of two commercial varieties and 59 local genotypes collected from different regions of Turkey were used. The local genotypes stored in the gene bank were grown in the open field in summer period in 2012 in Eskişehir and Bilecik. Variations between these materials were morphologically investigated in both locations. Within local genotypes, dwarf (determinate) varieties numbered 107 (Mersin, TR 72511) and 137 (Balıkesir, TR 62613); and indeterminate varieties numbered 201 (Antalya, TR 69155), 226 (Kütahya, TR 64126) and 249 (Yozgat, TR 71376) were determined as genotypes to have raised the variation. It can be mentioned that the differences between temperatures and light wavelengths of the location saffected the variation and thus the genotype x environment interactions were found to be possible. Within local tomato materials, genotypes in dark red color numbered 213 (Adana, TR 72501), 116 (Muğla, TR 61675), 265 (Van, TR 40507) attracted attention in terms of various characteristics and were assumed to have potential for breeding.
