Abstract
This study was conducted as a main crop in University of Cukurova, Faculty of Agriculture Field Crops Department in 2016. The objective of this research was to determine some agronomic and quality characteristics of peanut breeding lines. In this study, 22 peanut lines (F6) belonging to Brantley (High oleic) x Halisbey (High yield) crossing were used as a plant material. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block with three replications. Pod number and pod weight per plant, 100-seed weight, shelling percentage, oil and protein content, saturated (Palmitic, stearic, arachidic and lignoceric acid) and unsaturated (Oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid) fatty acids percentage and pod yield per hectare values of lines were investigated. As a result, the pod number per plant of breeding lines was between 24.9-34.9 pod plant-1, pod weight was 73.3-91.2 g plant-1, 100-seed weight 118.0-148.6 g, shelling percentage was 59.5-66.9% and pod yield was 6064-9232 kg ha-1. The oil content and oleic acid percentage of breeding lines were varied between 41.20-55.95% and 51.97-80.00%, respectively.
