Abstract

Seeds of Quercus ithaburensis Decne supsp. macrolepis (Valonia oak) were collected from Kula, Burhaniye, Gördes, Banaz, Selendi, and Seferihisar provenances (populations). Seeds’ characteristics and 2+0 container seedlings’ morphological and physiological traits were determined. Field tests using a randomized block design were established with these seedlings in İzmir, Manisa, and Balıkesir. No significant differences were found among the provenances in seed characteristics. While no significant differences were observed among the provenances in seedling characteristics such as root collar diameter, number of lateral roots, and root fresh weight, significant differences were found in seedling height, root length, root dry weight, stem fresh and dry weights, and robustness index. In individual field tests, the Selendi provenance ranked in the best group in terms of both seedling height and root collar diameter. When the pooling data of the three field tests was evaluated, only the seedling height trait was statistically different among provenances. The potential for establishing fire-resistant mixed forests with Valonia oak and the need for research on climate change in the “Cerris section” indicate that Valonia oak field tests should be continued for a long time, and further research should be conducted.

Özet

Quercus ithaburensis Decne supsp. macrolepis (Anadolu plamut meşesi) Kula, Burhaniye, Gördes, Banaz, Selendi ve Seferihisar orijinlerinden (popülasyonlar) tohumlar toplanmış, tohum özellikleri ve 2+0 yaşlı tüplü fidanların morfolojik ve fizyolojik özellikleri ortaya konulmuştur. Bu fidanlarla İzmir, Manisa ve Balıkesir’de rastlantı blokları deneme deseni kullanılarak arazi denemeleri kurulmuştur. Tohum özelliklerinde orijinler arası farklılık ortaya çıkmamıştır. Fidan özelliklerinden kök boğazı çapı, yan kök adedi, kök taze ağırlığı açısından orijinler arasında anlamlı fark görülmezken, fidan boyu, kök uzunluğu, kök kuru ağırlığı, gövde taze ve kuru ağırlıkları ile gürbüzlük indisi açısından orijinler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar ortaya çıkmıştır. Tek tek deneme alanlarında Selendi orijini hem fidan boyu ve hem de kök boğazı çapında en iyi grupta yer almıştır. Üç deneme birlikte değerlendirildiğinde ise orijinler arasında yalnızca fidan boyunda fark gözlenmiştir. Anadolu palamut meşesi ile yangına dirençli karışık ormanların kurulma potansiyeli, “Cerris section”da iklim değişikliği üzerine araştırmalarına olan gereksinim, Anadolu palamut meşesi denemelerinin uzun süre devam ettirilmesini, daha ileri araştırmalar yapılması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
