Özet

One of the most significant vegetables grown in Turkey and around the world is pepper. Pepper, which belongs to Capsicum genus of Solanaceae family, is one of the most freshly consumed vegetables in our country, and it is also one of the most diverse vegetable species due to the variation in other eating habits. The suitable climatic conditions in our country also allow pepper cultivation throughout the year, and pepper cultivation can be done all year long in different regions both in the open field and greenhouses. Variety Registration And Seed Certification Center directorate became a member of UPOV (The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants) on November 18, 2007. Beginning in 2008, DUS tests were conducted in accordance with UPOV criteria as part of variety registration procedures. In this study, morphological observations of the pepper species registered by performing DUS tests from 2008 to the present are discussed. The pepper species was investigated and a proportional evaluation of the situation in the registrated types was made based on these observations, which were especially qualitative and pseudo-qualitative in nature.
