Özet: Anatolia is among the gene centers of pears as in many fruit species. In Malatya province, which is one of the most important fruit-growing centers in the upper Euphrates basin in Turkey, many local varieties are grown as well as the standard pear cultivars. These local varieties constitute an important genetic resource for breeding studies. In this study, which was conducted to select local summer pears grown in Malatya province between 2014 and 2017, firstly; the fertile trees with high quality fruits, showing a good growth, were marked with pre-selection. Then, pomological analyses were performed on the fruit samples taken during the harvesting period from these selected trees. At the end of the evaluation of the data obtained through the weighed rating method, three genotypes ((44.13.07, 44.08.01, 44.06.14) were identified as promising. The fruit weight of the promising varieties was between 121.80 (44.08.01) and 163.98 g (44.06.14), the fruit flesh firmness was 4.18 (44.13.07) - 8.35 kg/cm2 (44.08.01), TSS ratio was between 13.60 % (44.13.07) and 15.40 % (44.08.01), the TA was 0.18 (44.06.14) - 0.21 % (44.13.07), and the pH value of fruit juice was between 3.95 (44.13.07) and 4.82 (44.08.01). The genotypes found to be promising in the study were found to be non-gritty and superior in terms of taste and eating quality. The promising genotypes identified at the end of the study were transferred to pear collection parcel of the Apricot Research Institute Directorate in order to be kept under protection.
