Abstract

This study has been
conducted between 2015 and 2016 at Hazelnut Research Institute in Giresun. The
objective of this study was to determine the effects of the pollinizer
cultivars on the nut and kernel characteristics. Tombul,
Palaz, Çakıldak, Foşa and Allahverdi were used as main cultivars while Tombul,
Palaz, Çakıldak, Foşa, Allahverdi, Sivri, Kalınkara and Yassı Badem were used
as pollinizer cultivars. Self-pollination was considered as a control and
open-pollination was taken as an application. In the study, it was determined that the pollinizer cultivars caused
changes in some nut and kernel characteristics with the xenia and metaxenia
effects. The effects of pollinizers on nut set and number of nut in clusters
were quite obvious. Self-pollination resulted in low nut set and number of nut in clusters, indicating it is self-incompatible. Open
pollination and different cross-pollination treatments increased nut set and
number of nut in clusters. It is estimated that the changes in the pomological
characteristics may be related to the nut set as well as the pollen sources.
The kernel percentage and good kernel were generally low in self-pollination.
Open-pollination and cross- pollination treatments increased kernel percentage
and good kernel. It has also been improved that the pollinizer cultivars may
cause changes in nut shape. Palaz pollination treatment caused decrease of nut
shape index in main cultivars.

Xenia and metaxenia in hazelnuts: Effects on nut set and nut characteristics

Abstract

This study has been conducted between 2015 and 2016 at
Hazelnut Research Institute in Giresun. The objective of this study was to
determine the effects of the pollinizer cultivars in the nut and kernel
characteristics. Tombul, Palaz, Çakıldak, Foşa and Allahverdi
are used as main cultivars and Tombul, Palaz, Çakıldak, Foşa, Allahverdi,
Sivri, Kalınkara and Yassı Badem were used as a pollinizer cultivars.
Self-pollination was considered as a control and open-pollination was taken as
a separate application.

In the study, it was determined that the pollinizer
cultivars caused changes in some nut and kernel characteristics with a xenia
and metaxenia effect. The effects of applications on cluster set and number of
nut in clusters has been quite striking. It is estimated that the changes in
the pomological characteristics may be related to the cluster set as well as
the pollen sources. It has also been improved that the pollinizer cultivars may
cause changes in nut shape.
