Morphological and pomological characterization of some genotypes Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) obtained by selection breeding

Sumac (R. coriaria L.) is a subtropic and temperate climate plant with medicinal aromatic properties which has natural distribution in many regions of Anatolia. used as food additive the industry due to flavoring substances been high demand recent years. Besides beneficial secondary metabolites, it field medicine pharmacy. coriaria) grows spontaneously environment without any agricultural practices collected by local people region supplied market. Since this situation, ideas creating modern orchards for sumac have begun emerge. For reason, selection breeding studies planned L.). This study was carried out at East Mediterranean Transition Zone Agricultural Research Institute during 2019-2021 Approximately 300 different genotypes were observed botanically 92 found positive study. It determined that wet weight values clusters examined varied between 5.63-87.74 g result statistical analysis. The highest cluster 87.74, 78.92, 70.81 GN26, GN86, GN90 respectively. lowest GN28 (5.63 g) GN41 (6.00 powder efficiency 30.62% 72.49% average 49.15%. results obtained from about 20 be analyzes made on characteristics aimed use cultivation future.
