Heterosis and inheritance studies on morphological and chemical characters of tobacco

Hybrid breeding provides excellent convenience in obtaining products that meet the demands of producers and the market. This study aimed to develop new hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) varieties that meet the demands of tobacco producers and buyers to provide continuity in homogenous products and genetically to determine the effects of parameters investigated. In this study, five parents (OZE S2 [P1], OZE S1 [P2], Katerini [P3], Prilep [P4], and Bozcakaldere [P5]) with different characters and 10 hybrid genotypes obtained from the five parents were tested in five different locations in Aktekke in 2018, and Aktekke, Kelikler, Seyhulas, and Huseyinbeyli in 2019. The morphological and chemical parameters of genotypes were significantly (p
