Investigation of the changes in bran mineral content according to the years and growth conditions in bread wheat genotypes

Bran is not only the raw material of animal feed or functional products; it has also become a natural additive used inthe other industrial fields. For this reason, in this study, it has been aimed to reveal to what extent the minerals (K, P, S,Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Na) are affected by genotypes, growth seasons (years) and growth conditions and theirinteractions, rather than how much and what kind of minerals the wheat bran contains. For this purpose, in the study,in the growth seasons of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, five bread wheat genotypes were carried out as three replicatedunder organic and conventional growth conditions according to the trial design of split plots in random blocks. At theend of the study, all minerals except Cu were affected by at least one of the variation sources; in other words, althoughit varies according to minerals, wheat bran minerals were significantly affected by wheat genotypes, growth yearsand growth conditions and their interactions. In addition, with this study, significant correlations were found betweensome minerals in organic and conventional conditions.
