Özet

Turkey is one of the major exporters of mandarins in the Mediterranean region. Seedlessness in citrus, which is one of the most desired fruit quality traits, especially in fresh mandarin export markets, can be obtained via triploidy as in many fruit species. Triploid plants can be recovered by 2x × 2x hybridizations in citrus, as well as 2x × 4x and 4x × 2x crosses. Hence, we aimed to develop local triploid hybrids by using the embryo rescue technique in five crosses using eight different citrus varieties in the present study.
