Key Findings
- The study by Cukurova University analyzed the nut quality traits of local and foreign almond cultivars and their F1 hybrid offspring
- Significant variation in nut quality traits was found among different almond cultivars and hybrids
- Some almond varieties and hybrids showed superior characteristics, indicating potential for improving almond quality through crossbreeding
