Kızılcık (Cornus mas L.) Genotiplerinin Kapsamlı Karakterizasyonu: Islah ve Ticari Potansiyel için Biyokimyasal ve Genetik Analizlerin Entegrasyonu

Öz

Kızılcık (Cornus mas L.), besleyici özellikleri, biyoaktif bileşikleri ve sağlık yararları nedeniyle gıda ve geleneksel tıpta kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin Malatya bölgesinde tek tip ekolojik koşullar altında yetiştirilen kızılcık genotiplerinin biyokimyasal ve moleküler özelliklerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Fizikokimyasal parametrelerde genotipler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar (p≤0,05) gözlemlenmiştir. Meyve ağırlığı 1,49 ile 6,41 g arasında değişmekte olup, 44-01 genotipi daha büyük meyve boyutuna sahiptir. Toplam flavonoid içeriği 29,33 ile 77,68 mg QE/100 g FW arasında değişmekte olup, 44-04 genotipi en yüksek değeri gösterirken, 44-06 genotipi en yüksek β-karoten içeriğine (0,167 mg/100 g FW) sahiptir. Toplam karotenoid içeriği 0,15 ila 0,45 mg/100 g taze ağırlık arasında değişmiştir. Dokuz ISSR primeri, %57,35'lik bir polimorfizm oranıyla 44 bant üretmiş ve genotipler arasında orta düzeyde genetik çeşitlilik ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle, 44-04 genotipi hem yüksek biyoaktif bileşik içeriği hem de belirgin genetik kümelenme göstermiştir. Biyokimyasal ve moleküler analizlerin entegrasyonu, ıslah programları ve hedeflenen ticari uygulamalar için değerli bilgiler sağlamaktadır.

Comprehensive Characterization of Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Genotypes: Integrating Biochemical and Genetic Analyses for Breeding and Commercial Potential

Öz

Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is utilized for food and traditional medicine due to its nutritional properties, bioactive compounds, and health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical and molecular characteristics of cornelian cherry (CC) genotypes grown under uniform ecological conditions in Malatya, Türkiye. Significant differences (p≤0.05) were observed among genotypes in physico-chemical parameters. Fruit weight ranged from 1.49 to 6.41 g, with genotype 44-01 exhibiting superior fruit size. Total flavonoid content varied between 29.33 and 77.68 mg QE/100 g FW, with genotype 44-04 showing the highest value, while genotype 44-06 had the highest β-carotene content (0.167 mg/100 g FW). Total carotenoid content ranged from 0.15 to 0.45 mg/100 g FW. Nine ISSR primers generated 44 bands with a polymorphism rate of 57.35%, revealing moderate genetic diversity among genotypes. Notably, genotype 44-04 demonstrated both high bioactive compound content and distinct genetic clustering. The integration of biochemical and molecular analyses provides valuable insights for breeding programs and targeted commercial applications.
