Abstract: In cereals, haploid or diploid embryo structures are suitable organisations in practice for amelioration or storage of genotypes or some other biotechnologies (Savaskan 2017). It is possible to reveal of variation as different genotypes from heterozygote or landraces after making homozygote of recessive alleles by doubling of chromosomes using embryo rescue. In these genotypes, characters can be evaluated as qualitative or quantitatively, for instance; dark purple coleoptile could be observed in some doubled haploid (DH) genotypes. The amount of chlorophyl (a/b) and carotenoid have been evaluated in young leafs in DH-6 and DH-8 and some other durum wheat genotypes, while investigating their tolerances to salinity in laboratory conditions (Duran et al, 2010). Colour of grains (amount of carotenoid in harvested grains) in durum genotypes have also been evaluated with field experiment conditions in three different locations of Anatolia and also correlation (r ) has been identified with other grain characters related with agronomical values (Savaskan et al 2003). Here it is possible to determine the rate into correlation (path) of characters and direct and indirect effects of each other. Naturally, the relationships between amount of chlorophyl in young leafs and carotenoid in harvested grains and also harvest index (HI) of genotypes will be able to be interesting subjects to discuss.
