Tree, leaf, pod and seed morphology, as well as pod biochemistry of 36 wild-grown carob genotypes sampled from rural areas in Marmaris district located at western Turkey, were investigated. Leaf and pod dimensions, pod and seed weight, seed ratio, pod and seed colour and shape and surface traits were investigated. Soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity, vitamin C and protein and dietary fibre contents were also detected. Results showed significant differences for all quantitative traits, although differences are more pronounced for some pod (weight, width, length and thickness) and seed characteristics (weight, dimensions and ratio). Pod and seed colour, shape and surface qualitative threats were found to be quite variable among genotypes. The majority of genotypes had an open tree growth habit. Leaf length and width were found to be between 8.04 cm (M19) and 11.60 cm (M12) and 8.40 cm (M2) and 12.04 cm (M12) among genotypes. Pod weight ranged from 8.3 g (M35) to 29.5 g (M3) in the wild genotypes. The average pod dimensions (width, length and thickness) were between 14.27 and 23.38 mm, 12.54 and 21.67 cm and 4.80 and 8.37 mm, respectively. The SSC ranged from 49.36 to 69.36% in the pods of wild carob genotypes. The results of this study indicate a good genetic resource potential of Turkish wild carob populations for future breeding programmes.

野生长豆角树（Ceratonia siliqua L.）之间的形态和生化多样性

调查了土耳其西部马尔马里斯地区农村地区36种野生长豆角豆基因型的树，叶，豆荚和种子形态，以及豆荚生物化学。研究了叶片和荚果的大小，荚果和种子的重量，种子比例，荚果和种子的颜色，形状和表面性状。还检测了可溶性固形物（SSC），可滴定的酸度，维生素C和蛋白质以及膳食纤维的含量。结果显示，所有数量性状都有显着差异，尽管某些荚果（重量，宽度，长度和厚度）和种子特性（重量，尺寸和比率）差异更为明显。发现豆荚和种子的颜色，形状和表面定性威胁在基因型之间变化很大。大多数基因型具有开放的树生长习惯。在基因型中，发现叶的长度和宽度在8.04 cm（M19）和11.60 cm（M12）和8.40 cm（M2）和12.04 cm（M12）之间。野生基因型的豆荚重量在8.3 g（M35）至29.5 g（M3）之间。平均豆荚尺寸（宽度，长度和厚度）分别在14.27和23.38毫米，12.54和21.67厘米以及4.80和8.37毫米之间。野生角豆豆基因型豆荚中的SSC范围从49.36到69.36％。这项研究的结果表明，土耳其野生角豆种群有很好的遗传资源，可用于未来的育种计划。分别。野生角豆豆基因型豆荚中的SSC范围从49.36到69.36％。这项研究的结果表明，土耳其野生角豆种群有很好的遗传资源，可用于未来的育种计划。分别。野生角豆豆基因型豆荚中的SSC范围从49.36到69.36％。这项研究的结果表明，土耳其野生角豆种群有很好的遗传资源，可用于未来的育种计划。
