Abstract
In this study, pre-harvest sprouting tolerance and some quality characteristics of some wheat landraces and modern varieties in Turkey were determined. In Eskişehir, Karaman and Samsun locations of Turkey, 126 genotypes were tested in the 2014-2015 growing seasons, and 48 genotypes were tested in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 growing seasons in two-replication experiments. Data regarding germination index, protein content, sedimentation volume and falling number of genotypes were observed. Physical properties of grain, the number of days to spike, and plant height were also investigated. The difference between genotypes was found to be statistically significant for all traits. We found the germination index of the genotypes varied between 0.19 and 0.70 for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 growing seasons, respectively. The average germination index value of red kernel genotypes is lower than white kernel genotypes. The landraces from Turkiye included in the research were taller and harvested lately. In comparison, modern genotypes are in the first place regarding sedimentation volume. The landraces had higher protein content but lower protein qualities than modern cultivars. The grain hardness of landraces was lower than that of modern cultivars in the three years. We found positive relationships between the germination index, grain filling time, thousand-grain weight, and grain color. Protein content, sedimentation volume, falling number, and grain hardness are negatively and significantly related to the germination index. The results showed that white kernel Clark's Cream and red kernel Karakılçık (1) genotypes could be used as gene sources for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance breeding in bread wheat.
