AB  - The main aims of this s tudy were to compile the his torical wheat variety lis t released in wheat breeding in Turkey, to comparethe wheat variety release with some selected countries and evaluate the impact of regulations on wheat research and varietydevelopment. Wheat breeding s tarted in 1925 soon after the foundation of Republic of Turkey. Firs t variety was releasedin 1928, and 617 wheat varieties were released since then. National Variety Lis t (NVL) was published every year, howeveronly 484 of total released varieties are currently in the NVL. 485 varieties are of bread wheat and 128 of them are durumwheat, 2 two are of Tr. monococcum, 1 is of Tr. turgidum and 1 is of Tr. spelta. As Turkey has diverse growing conditions,spring, winter and facultative bread and durum wheat varieties are grown, and varieties are released for these conditions.316, 191 and 110 varieties of winter, spring and facultative wheat have been released, respectively. The comparisons weremade for variety release among Turkey, Iran, Hungary and the UK. The highes t number of varieties released per ha was inUK followed by Hungary, Turkey, Iran in 5-year-period. New regulations s timulated releasing greater number of varietiesand involvement of private sector in breeding. Surveys are made to find out the varieties planted in the farmers’ field andtheir adoption rates. New molecular technologies, such as fingerprinting can be used to increase accuracy of the varietyidentification and adoption rate of any variety in such surveys.
