Farklı yörelerden temin edilen yerli ve yabancı haşhaş (Papaver somniferum L.) populasyonlarının bazı bitkisel özellikleri

Abstract

This study was carried out in the experimental field of Agronomy Department, Ankara University in 1991. Morphological characteristics of 193 poppy populations collected from different regions were determined. In addition, seed and capsule yield, oil content (percentage) of seeds and morphine content in capsule of these poulations was looked at. According to the results of this study; Flowering period 75-85 days, maturity period 106-119 days, plant height 60-98 cm, number of capsules 1.3-3.9, main capsule width 2.43-3.98 cm, main capsule length 2.76- 4.29 cm, capsule index 0.670-1.110, number rays on stigma 8.1-11.8, seed yield per plant 2.41-5.99 g, capsule yield per plant 2.06-5.41 g, oil content in seed 39.92%-56.07% and morphine rate in capsule 0.21%-0.74% were found. Aim of this study is to help poppy variety breeding programmes in Turkey and direct the poppy studies on better populations.Key Words : Poppy, Plant height, Number of capsules, Capsule index, Seed colour, Morphine rate, Oil rate, Number of rays on stigma, Vegetation period, Haziness, Flowering period.
