Özet

Chestnut is one of the significant species of agroforestry whose phenological and nut properties are significantly affected by environmental circumstances. This research intended to compare the agro-morphological divergence of chestnut genotypes growing naturally at several locations in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkiye and to ascertain correlations between deliberate characteristics. The phenological and nut characteristics of promising chestnuts were evaluated based on the The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) descriptor. Phenological properties presented substantial modifications related to genotypes and locations. Fruit dimensions such as nut (6.17-8.41 g) and kernel (5.03-7.19 g) weight were found foremost among locations. The outcomes revealed high moisture, low fat, and protein content, and chemical content indicated cluster depending on locations. Critical leaf (length 19.13-27.35 cm) and stomata (frequency 243.81-729.61 units/mm(2)) characteristics presented materiality among genotypes and locations. Strong positive and negative correlations were perceived among certain imperative characteristics. Cluster analysis was performed and identified effective characteristics formed into three main clusters and sub-groups that contributed to 56.24% of total variations and were compatible with hierarchical cluster analysis. Pathway analysis exhibited that nut, leaf, and stomatal characteristics can be used as major descriptors for chestnut breeding. The current outcome demonstrated that diversity and relationships between agro-morphological characteristics will deliver new potential cultivars while also being convenient for further breeding programs by breeders and supporting implementation of their selection strategies.
