Özet:

Turkey is one of the few countries in the world in terms of richness for plant genetic resources. Plant genetic resources are faced with a reduction or even extinction danger because of environmental and other stress factors. Their protection is crucial for guaranteeing the future of crop production. In the present study, 1 genotype from Crataegus azarolus L. spp. azarolus (azarolus), 15 genotypes from Crataegus azarolus L. var. pontica (pontica) and 14 genotypes from Crataegus monogyna Jacq. var. monagyna (monagyna) in the natural flora of Uşak province were used. As fruit characteristics of genotypes; fruit weight (g), fruit width and height (mm), number of seed (number/fruit) and seed weight (g) were determined. However, total soluble solids (%) and total acidity (%) content of fruits were investigated. Rind colour of species was determined to be orange in the azarolus, yellow or yellowish in the pontica, and red in the monagyna. The fruit weight and seed number of genotypes in the azarolus, pontica and monagyna were found as 2.75 g and 2.5 number, 2.75 g and 2.9 number, and 0.44 g and 1.0 number, respectively.
