Özet:

Abstract Morphological characterization studies were carried out at the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute location by obtaining 70 pea population materials from the pea (Pisum sativum L.) populations collected from different regions of Turkey, which were preserved in the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute national gene bank. Morphological characterization studies were carried out according to the identification list published by IPGRI for peas and the UPOV feature document of this species. The characteristics of the pea plant and its seed were examined and the differences between these examined characteristics were determined and revealed. As a result of the morphological characterization, the plant height was 32-135 cm in pea genotypes, first pod height 17-85 cm, the number of main branches is 1-4 and the number of pods per plant is 1-26, the number of grains per plant is 2-118, The grain weight of the plant varied between 1-83 g. With this study, it was concluded that the pea populations had promising genotypes especially in terms of breeding studies and that selection studies should be continued in genotypes.
