Persimmon is generally propagated by usingDiospyros lotus seedlings in Turkey. Moreover some persimmon varieties can be used for propagation as rootstock seedsources. In this study, fresh leaf tissues of Diospyros kaki and Diospyros lotus seedlings were used for obtaining of cellnuclei then stained by propidium iodide and were used for estimation of floresence intensities. According to the obtainedresults caucasian persimmon seedlings were had smaller genome sizes compare to the persimmon genomes and had lessvariation than persimmons. The relative ploidy level of caucasian persimmon seedlings were diploid where as hexploidsin persimmon seedlings. By this experiment it was emphasized that new genotypes which have uniform rootstockcharateristics for PCNA (Pollination Constant Non Astringent) and PVNA (Pollination Variant Non Astringent)persimmon varieties are needed for better performance in persimmon growing.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyolojiBahçe BitkileriGenetik ve KalıtımZiraat MühendisliğiBitki BilimleriArticle35328628910.13002/jafag4502327396
