Types in Çoruh Valley Muharrem GÜLERYÜZ, İbrahim BOLAT, Lütfi PIRLAK Atatürk University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Erzurum-TURKEY Received: Abstract: The aim of this selection research was to determine the having large fruits and high yielded of cornelian cherries (Cornus mas L.) grown in Çoruh valley during 1994-1995. Forty types were choosen in terms of fruit size and productivity in the first year. Fifteen of these types which were found to be superior for consumption were selected using weighted rankit method in the first year, and the second year, the fruit characteristic of those types were evaluated. The fruit characteristics for the selected types were ranged g for fruit weights, for flesh/stone ratio, for TSS, mg vitamin C/100 g, for total acidity (as malic acid), for TSS/acid ratio, for total sugar and for reducing sugar, respectively. Çoruh Vadisinde Yetişen Sofralık Kızılcık (Cornus mas L.) Tiplerinin Seleksiyonu Özet: 1994-1995 yıllarında yapılan bu seleksiyon çalışmasında Çoruh vadisinde yetişen kızılcıklar arasından iri meyveli ve verimli olanların seçilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İlk yıl meyve iriliği ve verimliliğe göre 40 tip selekte edilmiştir. Tartılı derecelendirme metoduna göre bu tiplerden 15’i üstün sofralık özelliklere sahip olarak bulunmuş ve ikinci yıl bu tiplerde incelemelere devam edilmiştir. Bu tiplerde meyve ağırlığı g, et/çekirdek oranı , SÇKM %, vitamin C içeriği mg/100 g. malik asit cinsinden toplam asitlik %, SÇKM/asit oranı , toplam şeker % ve indirgen şeker % arasında bulunmuştur. Introduction Cornelian cherry is a widely grown fruit species in different regions of Turkey. Although, it is .
