Central Asia is one of the gene centers of pistachio (Pistacia vera L). They grow naturally as P. vera forests and are good for the prevention of erosion. P. vera trees grow normally in areas where the rainfall is below 200 mm/year. Wild pistachio trees used to protect dams’ basin and to create forests are more suitable to transform the forest to cultural orchards. In Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan about 150 thousand hectares of wild pistachio exist. Different types and abundance of pistachio are found under natural growth or seed sown and with the selection in these areas, new and high-quality pistachio cultivars can be obtained for world pistachio market. When the present areas are transformed to pistachio orchards, product may be obtained after the 3-4 years. Production is expected to add economy of both countries. Uzbek and Turkmen technical experts, who were educated for pistachio production in their country, as well as the Pistachio Research Institute in Turkey, by Turkish experts. However, there are legal and the techniques problems in these countries that need to be taken care of, regarding the agricultural development of pistachio Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/11513/420 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11513/418 Breeding of New Pistachio Cultivars by Hybridization in Turkey Uzun, M.; Açar, İzzet; Atlı, Halit Seyfettin; Arpacı, Selim; Sarpkaya, K.; Gözel, Hatice This study was carried out at the Pistachio Research Institute to obtain new male and female pistachio cultivars by hybridization of domestic and foreign cultivars since 1996. Siirt, Ohadi, Haciserifi, Kalehghouchi and Sel 14 cultivars have been used as female, and Uygur, Atli and Kaska used as male parent in this research. The seeds of Kalehghouchi and Akbari cultivars were sown in the pots in order to obtain chance seedlings. To get new pistachio genotypes, 3500 F1 hybrid plants and chance seedlings were obtained and planted in Pistachio Research Institute’s area by 90 x 40 cm in space in 1997 and 1998. Five male types have been selected among the plants with respect to phenological characteristics, pollen production, pollen germination and flowering period. Four female types selected for more yield, high splitting ratio, largeness, kernel ratio, kernel colour, suture opening and dehulling easiness as to Weighted-Rankit.

The aim of the study was to determine influence of pollens of 3 different pollinators on the nut quality of ‘Kirmizi’, 4 different pollinators on ‘Siirt’ and 2 different pollinators on ‘Ohadi’ cultivars. Three different male types (Male 1, 16 and 23) synchronized to ‘Kirmizi’, 4 different male types (Male 7, 12, 13 and 25) synchronized to ‘Siirt’ and 2 male types (Male 18 and 22) synchronized to ‘Ohadi’ cultivars were used as pollinators and open pollination was used as control. Pomological characteristics were compared to determine the nut quality with respect to the used pollinators on the nuts. 100 nuts weight, split nut ratio, kernel ratio, blank nut ratio, kernel oil and protein content were determined as quality characteristics. According to the average results of 3 consecutive years; 100 nuts weight ranged from 74.00 to 79.40 g for ‘Kirmizi’, 84.48 to 96.34 g for ‘Siirt’ and 75.20 to 76.65 g for ‘Ohadi’; split nut ratio ranged between 25.31 and 36.92% for ‘Kirmizi’, 17.53 to 35.01% for ‘Siirt’ and 3.90 to 9.71% for ‘Ohadi’; kernel ratio ranged from 47.12 to 49.38% for ‘Kirmizi’, 43.24 to 45.10% for ‘Siirt’ and 43.85 to 46.07% for ‘Ohadi’. Blank nut ratio ranged between 29.68 and 37.02% for ‘Kirmizi’, 27.82 to 38.90% for ‘Siirt’ and 11.85 to 33.50% for ‘Ohadi’. Kernel oil content ranged from 39.73 to 43.51% for ‘Kirmizi’, 38.61 to 44.16% for ‘Siirt’ and 45.52 to 48.00% for ‘Ohadi’. Protein content ranged from 18.23 to 19.09% for ‘Kirmizi’, 17.51 to 18.08% for ‘Siirt’ and 18.38 to 20.39% for ‘Ohadi’ with respect to pollinators. Results demonstrated clearly that pollinators affect nut quality in pistachio.

Pistacia khinjuk was used as rootstock and 14 pistachio cultivars and types were compared. They were ‘Uzun’ and ‘Siirt’ as domestic; and ‘Kerman’, ‘Ohadi’, ‘Vahidi’, ‘Mumtaz’ and ‘Haciserifi’ as foreign; and ‘Sel 1 named as Tekin’, ‘Sel 2’, ‘Sel 5’, ‘Sel 10’, ‘Sel 11 named as Barak Yildizi’, ‘Sel 14’ and ‘Sel 15’ types (selected by Pistachio Research Institute in Gaziantep). Orchards were irrigated by drip irrigation system. Yield and quality characteristics of the cultivars and types were determined for last 5 years (2004-2008 years). Phenological observations were also carried out in 2008. The higheer yields were obtained from ‘Mumtaz’, ‘Tekin’ and ‘Sel 5’, while the lower values were from ‘Barak Yildizi’, ‘Kerman’ and ‘Sel 15’. Pomological characteristics were observed to determine the nut quality. The best results were obtained from ‘Mumtaz’ and ‘Vahidi’ for 100 dry fruits weight; from ‘Siirt’, ‘Tekin’, ‘Sel 2’ and ‘Sel 5’ for split nuts; and from ‘Ohadi’, ‘Siirt’ and ‘Tekin’ for kernel ratio. Regarding result of the Weighted-Rankit test; ‘Tekin’, ‘Mumtaz’ and ‘Sel 5’ have been determined as suitable pistachio cultivars for irrigated conditions for Southeast of Turkey Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/11513/414 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
