Abstract
Turkey is one of the most important countries in the production of confectionary pumpkin. The aimof the study is to reveal the amount of some mineral elements in seed coat and the seed of confectionary pumpkincandidates which gathered from different regions of the country and reached in S5 level. In the present study, atotal of twenty-seven pumpkin genotypes which were self-pollinated to the level of S5 and two local populationcharacterized genotypes were used as plant material. Contents of P, K, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu, S and Zn minerals weredetermined in the seed coat and seed, separately. Results of the study indicated that the highest content inside ofthe seeds as following genotypes; “A14” and “A25” for P, “A14” for K, “B17” and “A8” for Ca, “B33” and “C24”for Fe, “A14” for Mg, “C30” and “A32” for Mn, “A14” for Cu, “A14” for S and “A14” for Zn. Seed coat producedthe highest content as following; “B14” for P, “A14” for K, “A11” for Ca, “C25” and “B25” for Fe, “A11” forMg, Ürgüp Sivrisi (population characterized) for Mn, “A33” for Cu, “C18” for S and “A14” for Zn. Consequently,“A14” was found as the highest content of nutritional compounds.
