Özet

In this study, impact on the fruit characteristics of different pollinators used on the Osmanli strawberry cultivar, which is male sterile and therefore necessarily needs foreign pollination, was studied. In the trial three foreign cultivars, as well as three local varieties obtained from farmers in Northeast of Turkey, where these local varieties were grown with the Osmanli strawberry, were used as pollinators on Osmanli strawberry cultivar. Before pollination, pollen viability and pollen germination capability of pollinator cultivars were determined; and then, the physical properties, photochemical and aroma components of the hybrid fruit of strawberry, as well as the fruits of six parent cultivars used as pollinators, were analyzed. The study showed that the pomological and phytochemical characters as well as aroma components of fruits in Osmanli strawberry can be influenced by the pollinators of its flower. Since the highest aroma components were obtained from Sweet Charlie as pollinator, this cultivar with its well aroma can be used as pollinator on the Osmanli strawberry cultivar.
