Fig (Ficus carica) is one of the most important fruit species of Mediterranean countries. Turkey is one of top countries in the world for the production of various cultivars of fig. In this study, fruit quality characteristics of some fresh fig cultivars ('Bursa Siyahi', 'Yediveren', 'Sari Zeybek', 'Göklop', 'Morgüz', 'Yeşilgüz') and 01-IM-02 genotype were determined in Kirikhan County, Hatay, Turkey, which has a Mediterranean climate. Several pomological characteristics of the genotype and cultivars were determined on 5-year-old trees during the 2001-03 growing season. Averaged over the 3 years, fruit weight was determined between 30.0 and 52.4 g; fruit width between 35.8 and 48.4 mm; fruit length between 36.2 and 48.3 mm; neck length between 3.1 and 7.2 mm; ostiole width between 0.8 and 2.4 mm; total soluble solid contents (TSS) between 22.7 and 27.2%; pH between 4.8 and 5.3; titratable acidity between 0.20 and 0.38%; and TSS/acidity between 75.4 and 139.0. Yield values ranged from 0.42 to 2.83 kg/tree. 'Yediveren', 'Göklop', and 'Bursa Siyahi' cultivars and 01-IM-02 genotype produced the largest fruits in terms of fruit weight and fruit dimensions. 01-IM-02, 'Bursa Siyahi', and 'Yediveren' scored the highest in overall quality according to the weighted ranked method. The objective colour measurements determined the differences between fruit skin colour and flesh colour of fig cultivars and genotype. According to data obtained, 01-IM-02, 'Bursa Siyahi', and 'Yediveren' were found to be promising for both export markets and local consumption.
Fig (Ficus Carica L.) Selection Study for Fresh Market in Western Turkey
Acta Horticulturae, 2003
The research project was started in 1980's with the aim of developing fig production through selecting varieties suitable for fresh consumption. 272 edible fig cultigens were selected and evaluated in respect to maturation period, fruit quality, need for caprification and yield. As a result of a three-years evaluation, promising fresh varieties were selected. Quality was evaluated according to the weighted-rankit method, and 31 varieties were determined as promising due to their high scores. Among the evaluated fresh fig varieties, early season (Breba crop), early-mid season, mid season and late season varieties were recommended. Especially, few late ripening ones seem to be outstanding.

Genetika, 2020
Turkey is one of the main genetic origins of figs (Ficus ssp.). The study was carried out to determine the phenotypic variation of fig genotypes grown in Tarsus, Mersin, in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. In the study, 24 female fig genotypes selected from Tarsus were investigated based on plant and fruit quality characteristics. Only Haziran ?nciri ripened the breba (first) crop and the other genotypes ripened the main crop. The fruit weight of the fig genotypes ranged between 22.37 g and 90.16 g, total soluble solids content (TSS) ranged between 12.6 and 25.0% and TSS/acidity ranged between 29.2 and 161.5. From the plant and fruit characteristics, 26 out of 45 attributes were determined to be more appropriate in the identification and discrimination of the fig genotypes in the research area. Siyah ?ncir6, Bardak1, Sar? ?ncir1 and Siyah ?ncir3 genotypes were the highest in overall quality parameters. The results showed that the measured plant and fruit characteristics o...

Ficus carica L. is one of the most important fruit species in Turkey. For this study, 76 fi g accessions were collected from Hatay, in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey, in 2008 and 2009; the morphological diversity of plants and fruits was evaluated. Of the samples studied, 2 accessions were determined to be fi rst crop (breba) and the other 74 accessions were identifi ed as main crop. Th e fruit quality characteristics of Bardak and Dolap for the fi rst crop and Kabak 2, Kabak 1, Mor 1, Sarı 1, and Siyah 1 for the main crop were very promising for the fresh fi g market. Th e following fruit characteristics were found to be very successful discriminants for the fi g accessions: apical dominancy, lateral shoot formation, leaf shape, number of lobes, length of central lobe, leaf area, and leaf width for plant and leaf characteristics, and fruit length, pH, fruit fl esh color h°, abscission of the stalk from the twig, fruit width, fruit neck length, fruit weight, and antioxidant capacity. From the plant and fruit characteristics, 37 out of 64 traits were shown to be more useful in separating the fi g accessions in the study area. It is suggested that for the nomenclature classifi cation of genetic sources, reproducible parameters should be used as much as possible.

2011
Turkey has great variations and distributions in wild fig forms as well as fig cultivars. This study was carried out in Mardin and anlıurfa provinces during 2004-2005. Nine fig genotypes were evaluated in this selection study for two years. In this study, some morphological characteristics investigated were tree growth habit, tree vigour, relative degree of branching, leaf shape and leaf margin dentation. Also, the characteristics of all the fig genotypes were identificated. 63-07-006 and 63-07-007 fig genotypes which had the highest scores in all the fig genotypes according to analysis in the weighted ranked method were evaluated to be best table fig genotypes. In pomological characteristics, fruit weight ranged between 71.77 g (47-02-003) and 43.29 g (63-07-005). Some other values were: 65.26 mm (47-02-003) and 46.99 mm (47-02-019) of width; 56.87 mm (47-02-003) and 38.23 mm (47-02-008) of length; 4.44 mm (63-07-007) and 3.58 mm (47-02-020) of ostiole width; 28.57% (47-02-012) and 16.87% (63-07-007) of total soluble solids (TSS) ratio were determined.

This study was conducted over three harvest years to determine effects of Turkish fig genotypes grown in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey on phytochemical and fruit quality characters. Fruit quality characters such as fruit weight, fruit width, fruit neck length, total soluble solids (TSS), pH, acidity, and TSS/acidity were examined. Total phenolics (TP), total anthocyanins (TA), antioxidant capacity (TAC), fructose (FRUC), glucose (GLUC), sucrose (SUC), and variables describing fruit skin and flesh colors (L*, a*, C, and hº) were also determined. Analysis of the data obtained from 12 fig genotypes, and three harvest years demonstrated a highly significant influence of genotype on phytochemical and fruit quality characters. 'Bursa Siyahı', which has dark black fruit skin, had the highest levels of TA (113.6 μg cy-3-rutinoside g-1 fw), TP (105.2 mg GAE/100 g fw), and TAC (10.9 mmol Fe 2+ kg-1 fw). Three yearly averages of fruit weight ranged from 22.8 g ('Sarı İncir') to 57.5 g ('Bursa Siyahı'), and ostiole width ranged from 0.9 mm ('Bursa Siyahı') to 3.7 mm (31-IN-16). These results indicate that TP (r = 0.77) contents correlated moderately to TAC, more so than with TA (r = 0.56). Both FRUC and SUC were negatively correlated with TA (r =-0.34 and r =-0.42, respectively). These data demonstrate that genotype is the main influence on the phytochemical and fruit quality characters of figs.
