Determination of Morphological, Pomological and Molecular Variations among Apples in Niğde, Turkey using iPBS Primers

In addition to morphological and pomological techniques, the molecular analysis produces more information for diversity studies. Recently, iPBS marker system is one of techniques a new apple this study, morphological, pomological, characteristics local apples were investigated in 48 different samples from 29 rural areas with varying altitudes between 1125-1726 m Niğde, Turkey. Fruit size, fruit weight, color peel, total soluble solids content, flesh firmness are important terms yield, quality, storage, transportation attractiveness. According results these traits, CKR2, DMR3, CLL, HCB2, YSL, ULG, ELM1, ICM have been found superior among genotypes. order results, similarity varies 0.61-1.00, under light result, data differentiated all individuals used study except pair. Molecular displayed that differences caused by genotypic as well environmental conditions. This has contributed further about usage primers on apple. To protect plant material collection orchard was established conclude, findings expected shape future breeding
