“…Bouche De Betizac chestnut cultivar was the most distantly related cultivar in the dendogram with a similarity coefficient of 0.625. In a study by Serdar et al (2018), they stated that "Işıklar (Şekerci) cultivar is preferred as the most common variety in the Marmara Region due to its compatibility with consumption and marketing" and they have implied that these two varieties (Işıklar and Şekerci) were same. However, in this study, it was concluded that two chestnut cultivars, Işıklar and Şekerci, were different from each other.…”

In this study, a total of 19 retrotransposon-based iPBS markers were used to determine the genetic relationship among 11 chestnut cultivars (Castanea sativa Mill.) that are important in Turkey. In the study, chestnut cultivars named Hacıömer, Osmanoğlu, Sarıaşlama, Erfelek, Kemer, Işıklar, Şekerci, Siyah Bursa, Tülü, Bouche De Betizac and Marigoule were preferred. The allele profiles obtained from PCR reactions and capillary electrophoresis system were evaluated. Size ranges of alleles, number of average allele, number of total allele, number of polymorphic alleles, polymorphism rate, mean heterozygosity, polymorphism information content, marker index and discriminating power were determined at a successful level. In addition, UPGMA dendograms were created and principle coordinate analyzes were performed. According to UPGMA dendogram, chestnut cultivars of Hacıömer and Şekerci were determined as the most similar cultivars with a similarity coefficient value of 0.924 and they formed a subgroup together with the chestnut cultivars of Osmanoğlu and Erfelek which showed close similarity with these two cultivars. On the other hand, it was concluded that two chestnut cultivars, Işıklar and Şekerci, which are highly similar to each other by some sources, are very different from each other. Besides, the use of retrotransposon based iPBS markers in chestnuts in Turkey was made for the first time in this study, and it has been proven that the genetic relationship among chestnut cultivars can be determined with high accuracy. It has been determined that these markers will be useful for molecular characterization studies in plant breeding programs.

“…The chestnut weevil is a significant pest, and growers often try to eliminate the infested nuts (Serdar et al 2018). From a study on those areas where C. sativa was cultivated in the Turkish provinces of Bursa, Balıkesir and Coşkuncu and Mert 2011)reported up to a 50% yield loss due to damage by C. elephas.…”

“…Although there have been some studies on losses in sweet chestnut production (Çanakçıoğlu 1969;Coşkuncu and Mert 2011;Özer 2018;Serdar et al 2018), no study has addressed such losses in terms of fruit traits (characteristics) in Turkey. The purpose of the present study is to: (1) measure the variation in fruit traits in different natural C. sativa populations; (2) determine the damage inflicted by C. elephas on natural C. sativa populations; and (3) assess the damage caused by C. elephas among and within the populations in terms of fruit traits.…”

Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of the most important species in agro-forestry and horticulture. Turkey is an important C. sativa gene centre and fruit production region. The present study aimed to measure the variations in fruit width, length, thickness and weight in four different natural C. sativa populations in Turkey and determine the loss of fruit traits due to damage by chestnut weevil (Curculio elephas (Gyllenhal, 1836)) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Fruits were collected from four populations (Istanbul-Bahçeköy, Çanakkale-Bayramiç, Balıkesir-Erdek and Bursa-Uludağ) of phenotypically healthy sweet chestnut trees, measurements were taken, and the fruits were classified into those damaged by C. elephas and those not. Analysis revealed significant differences among and within the populations in all fruit traits, and between the sound and damaged fruits, with the average fruit width, length, thickness and weight being 24.8 mm, 23.1 mm, 15.3 mm and 3.4 g, respectively. Bursa-Uludağ population had the highest healthy fruit ratio (70%), with some individuals in the population yielding healthy fruits at ratios > 90%. In the Balıkesir-Erdek population, however, where the percentage of damaged fruits was the highest (54%), it was determined that some trees suffered more than 90% damage in contrast to the Bursa-Uludağ population. In the fruits infested by C. elephas, the approximate percentages of loss in fruit width, length, thickness and weight were 6, 4, 7 and 30%, respectively. The fruit weight loss percentages varied between 25% and 32% among the populations.

“…The selection of chestnut cultivars is made to increase the nut size and the early harvesting [38,39]. Chestnuts over 15 g are considered as large-size fruits, and are very appreciated by agri-food industries; those between 10 and 15 g are considered medium-sized and sold in the fresh market whilst smaller than 10 g are used for industrial uses (flour, starch extraction) [38][39][40][41]. All the cultivars shown a size below than 10 g and so they are not suitable for the candy preparation (e.g.…”

The study of local chestnut and traditional techniques related to their use and consumption are considered of primary importance to promote their nutritional/nutraceutical values. Fruit of four local chestnut cultivars ('Carpinese', 'Pontecosi', 'Capannaccia' and 'Morona') from Garfagnana (Italy) were analysed under nutritional and antioxidant aspects and compared with their flour obtained through a traditional thermal-drying process. Raw fruit contained significative amounts of P, K and Mg (~ 149, 1960 and 50 mg 100 g −1 dry weight, respectively) and they were characterised by a good moisture content (~ 49%) and starch (~ 50 g 100 g −1 dw). The traditional thermal-drying processes affected the carbohydrate content of dried chestnut showing a higher sucrose and lower starch content as compared to raw fruits. Traditional thermal-drying processes negatively influenced also total phenol content (TP) and total antioxidant activity: flours from all cultivars contained lower amounts of TP than raw fruit except for 'Morona' in which these compounds remained unchanged. This study provides new useful information about the evaluation of nutritional and nutraceutical characteristics of Tuscany local chestnuts and the effects of a traditional thermal-drying processing method, helping consumers and producers to valorise these "forest products".
