Özet
Wild almond species are important genetic resources resisting to the adverse effects of drought stress and being a major dwarf rootstocks pool for Prunus species. So far, nine wild almond species have been identified in Turkey. In order to determine the fruit characteristics, fat content and fatty acids composition, 12 A. orientalis and 8 A. turcomanica types were used in this research. The results of measurement of nuts and kernels varied according to species and genotypes, and this difference was statistically significant. Average nut weight (0.75 g), nut length (18.49 mm), kernel weight (0.27 g) and kernel length (15.10 mm) were higher in A. orientalis species. Average nut width and height, thickness of shells, yield, and kernel width and height values were also close to each other between two species. All of these values were lower than the Prunus dulcis (Mill.) cultivars. As in the fruit characteristics the average fat content of the two species were very close (50.59%, 50.61%), the content of palmitic (8.24%), palmitoleic (0.36%) and linoleic acid (25.70%) were high in A. turcomanica while the content of stearic (2.21 %) and oleic acid (67.53%) were higher in genotypes belonging to A. orientalis species. Palmitic, stearic and linoleic fatty acid contents were found to be higher than cultured cultivars, while the fat percentage obtained from wild almond genotypes was lower than that obtained from cultured cultivars.
