New banana plantations of Turkey are mostly established with meristem culture-propagated plants because starting materials greatly influence yield and quality in these plantations. This study was conducted to select superior banana clones from Grand Nain, Dwarf Cavendish and Azman cultivars grown in open fields and greenhouses in Turkey. The study also aimed to determine selection efficiency breeding for stem height, number of hands, the number of fruits, bunch weight, fruit weight and fruit length. The selected genotypes exhibited a large variation in yield and related quantitative traits. The genotypes showing the highest yield and quality traits were selected. Although the traits used for selection contributed to selection efficiency, stem height had the greatest contribution. The superior banana clones were found to be stable and could reliably be used in establishment of new banana plantations to increase yield and quality in subtropical conditions in Mediterranean region in Turkey.

土耳其的新香蕉种植园大多采用分生组织培养繁殖的植物建立，因为原材料极大地影响了这些种植园的产量和质量。这项研究的目的是从土耳其的开阔田地和温室中的Grand Nain，Dwarf Cavendish和Azman品种中选择优良的香蕉克隆。该研究还旨在确定茎高，手数，果实数，束重，果实重和果实长度的选择效率育种。选择的基因型在产量和相关的数量性状上表现出很大的差异。选择表现出最高产量和品质性状的基因型。尽管用于选择的性状有助于选择效率，但茎高却贡献最大。
