Identification of some plant traits in the advanced generations of gokce x wild chickpea hybrids

This study was conducted in the Dicle University Faculty of Agriculture research area during the 2021-2022 growing season to determine some vegetative characteristics of advanced generation hybrid lines derived from Gökçe x wild chickpea genotypes. In the study, F7-8 generations from Gökçe × Cicer reticulatum hybrid (Gökçe × Cudi_152 (85 lines), Gökçe × Egil_073 (82 lines), Gökçe × Sirna _060 (84 lines), Gökçe × Savur_063 (34 lines) and F5-7 (Gökçe × Bari2_072 (80 lines), (Gökçe x Bari3_106 (85 lines) population used. Experiment was in augmented design with 2 replications, and plots consist of 0,5 m length, one row and row spacing 50 cm. In the study, seed coat color, seed shape, seed coat surface, plant color (leaf color), flower color, plant growth type, color and shape formations on the seed coat and seed throwing, characteristics were defined. In the hybrid lines in the F5- F8 generations, the color of the seed coat changed from black to light cream, and the colors were predominantly brown and its tones. In all populations, the seed shapes of the lines were pea-like. Dark green in plant color is dominant over other color tones. The most purple and white flower colors were observed in the lines. Different colorations were determined on the surface of the seed coat and in the embryo, and these were defined as lace shape, leopard pattern, bone-like seed coat surfaces.
