Characteristic Features of the ‘Süslü’ (Corylus avellana L.) Hazelnut Cultivar

Abstract

This study was conducted between 2024 and 2025 to determine the phenological, pomological, and morphological characteristics of the “Süslü” hazelnut variety, developed through breeding efforts. The study materials included the ‘Süslü’ and ‘Tombul’ hazelnut varieties, cultivated in an orchard established in 2018 at the Hazelnut Research Institute’s experimental field, with a row spacing of 4 meters. The phenological, pomological, and morphological characterization of the ‘Süslü’ variety was performed according to the criteria set by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). The findings revealed that the ‘Süslü’ variety is homogamous, with male and female flowering occurring between January 10 and February 15. The leaf emergence period was observed from April 2 to 15, the harvest period from August 15 to 20, and leaf fall from December 1 to 10. Pomological evaluations showed that the average fruit weight of the ‘Süslü’ variety is 2.10 grams, with a kernel weight of 1.14 grams, a kernel ratio of 47%, and a whitening ratio of 42%. Notably, the color of the leaves, husk, and fruit inner membrane of this variety was found to be reddish-purple, distinguishing it from other Turkish hazelnut varieties.

Thanks

We express our gratitude to the administrators at TAGEM and FAE for their support in the studies conducted from the selection stage to the present day for the ‘Süslü’ hazelnut variety, and to Agricultural Engineers Damla ÇİL and Ayşenur BEKTAŞ, and the agricultural workers who contributed to the planting of the saplings in the registration plot and the application for registration to TTSM. We also thank Agricultural Engineer Kader Aktaş, who works in the Variety Registration Unit of TTSM, for her valuable contributions to the registration process.

‘Süslü’ (Corylus avellana L.) Fındık Çeşidinin Karakteristik Özellikleri

Abstract

Bu araştırma, seleksiyon çalışmaları sonucunda geliştirilen ‘Süslü’ fındık çeşidinin fenolojik, pomolojik ve morfolojik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla 2024-2025 yılları arasında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın materyalini, Fındık Araştırma Enstitüsü deneme arazisinde 2018 yılında sıra üzeri 4 m olarak tesis edilen bahçedeki ‘Süslü’ ve ‘Tombul’ fındık çeşitleri oluşturmaktadır. Bu çeşidin fenolojik, pomolojik ve morfolojik karakterizasyonu Uluslararası Yeni Bitki Çeşitlerinin Korunması Birliği (UPOV) kriterlerine göre yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, ‘Süslü’ çeşidinin homogami gösterdiği, erkek ve dişi çiçeklenmenin 10 Ocak-15 Şubat tarihleri arasında gerçekleştiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca yaprak açım dönemi 2-15 Nisan, hasat zamanı 15-20 Ağustos ve yaprak dökümü 1-10 Aralık tarihleri arasında gerçekleşmiştir. Pomolojik değerlendirmeler sonucunda ‘Süslü’ çeşidinin ortalama meyve ağırlığı 2,10 g, iç ağırlığı 1,14 g, iç oranı %47 ve beyazlama oranı %42 olarak saptanmıştır. Diğer Türk fındık çeşitlerinden farklı olarak yaprak, zuruf ve meyve iç zarı renginin kırmızımsı mor olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Practical tip: These formats are already defined as ready-made Word styles in the Article Template (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3; also the Author, Affiliation, and Section Label styles). After typing your heading or paragraph, simply select the corresponding style from Word's Styles pane; there is no need to manually bold, capitalize, italicize, or adjust spacing/indentation. Using these styles keeps the layout process fast and error-free.

7. Section Content (Brief Description)

INTRODUCTION: State the problem and its status at the beginning of the study. Provide only relevant and necessary literature. End the section by stating the aim of the research.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Describe the material(s) used and the method(s) applied clearly, briefly, and concisely. Present materials and methods under separate subheadings.

RESULTS: In presenting research findings, the text, tables, and figures must complement each other.

DISCUSSION: Examine the results and compare them with previous studies. Establish a link between the aim stated in the Introduction and the findings, and discuss remaining open issues in the light of the literature.

CONCLUSION(S): Evaluate the findings in terms of their contribution to science/practice and present them as recommendations.

8. Figures And Tables

Figures, graphs, photographs, etc. must be referred to as “Figure”, and numerical data must be presented as “Table”; all figures and tables must be cited in the text. Captions must appear below figures and above tables. Figures and tables should be placed at appropriate points within the text (they must not be placed after the References section) and should be combined/summarized whenever possible.

The statistical test used for the significance of differences among means and its significance level must be stated under the table. When adding footnotes to tables, start from the last letter of the alphabet. Figures should be prepared in Microsoft Office programs (as required by printing technique). Photographs should be suitable for printing.

11. Using Word Styles

All formatting in the Article Template (headings, author/affiliation information, abstract, table and figure captions, references, etc.) is already defined as ready-made Word styles. While preparing your manuscript, simply select the appropriate style from Word's Styles pane (Home tab) after typing the relevant element.

Always use the template's built-in styles instead of manual formatting (such as bold, italic, capitalization, changing font size, or adjusting spacing/indentation by hand). This applies to every part of the text — not only headings, but equally to author/affiliation information, the abstract, keywords, table and figure captions, and the reference list.

Consistent use of styles allows your manuscript to be processed quickly and accurately by the layout team; manual formatting, on the other hand, can lead to errors and delays that are difficult to detect during layout.

Note: Modifying the visual definition of a style (font, size, color, etc.) is the responsibility of the layout team. Authors are only expected to select the correct style, not to redefine it.
