Adaptation And Stability Analysis In Some Bread Wheat Genotypes, Şevket Meti̇n Kara

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Genotype x environment interaction is a challenging issue to plant breeders in improving high-yielding, stable genotypes for variable environments. Several methods of measuring stability of genotypes tested across a range of environments have been proposed. The grain yields of fifteen bread wheat ( Triticum aestivumL.) genotypes grown at eight different locations were used to assess adaptation and stability characteristics of the genotypes and to study associations among these parameters. According to most of the parameters used in the present study, Kiraç 66, Es-kbvd-15 and Ank-92-1 appeared to have a good level of general adaptation to all environments. Mean yield was …


Somatic Embryogenesis From Mature Seed Cultures Of Pistacia Atlantica, Ahmet Onay Jan 2000

Somatic Embryogenesis From Mature Seed Cultures Of Pistacia Atlantica, Ahmet Onay

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Embryogenic mass was produced from kernels of mature fruits of Pistacia atlantica cultured in liquid Murashige and Skoog media, supplemented with 100 mg/l casein hydrolysate, 100 mg/l l-ascorbic acid, and benzylaminopurine (BAP). Embryogenic mass-es were differentiated directly from the kernel explants after culture for 3 weeks in liquid medium with 0.5-4 mg/l benzylaminop-urine. After transfer of the embryogenic masses into the same medium, but after a few subcultures with benzylaminopurine, somat-ic embryos appeared. Clusters of somatic embryos were transferred to the agar solidified MS medium for maturation. Matured somatic embryos, germinated on the maturation medium without growth regulators, developed into …

Comparison Of Photosynthetic Water Use Efficiency Of Sweet Sorghum At Canopy And Leaf Scales, Mustafa Ünlü, Pasquale Steduto

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Little is known about the response of sweet sorghum to water stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize sweet sorghum physiological water use efficiency (WUE) under progressing water stress conditions, with emphasis on the canopy scale as compared with the leaf scale. Sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench) was subjected to two water stress cycles. Energy, water vapor, and CO 2 fluxes were estimated at the canopy scale by means of the Bowen ratio/energy balance/CO 2 gradient method (BREB+), and at the leaf scale with a portable photosynthesis system. Predawn (yb) and noon-time leaf water potential (yn) …

The Effects Of Storage Periods On Some Quality Features Of Various-Sized Potato Varieties, Kemalleti̇n Kara Jan 2000

The Effects Of Storage Periods On Some Quality Features Of Various-Sized Potato Varieties, Kemalleti̇n Kara

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, the effects of storage periods on some quality features of various dimensioned potatoes types were examined (2.5-5.0 cm, 5.0-6.5 cm and greater than 6.5 cm). The effects of storage duration on all properties except for the dry matter content were statistically significant. It was observed that with the extension of storage period, weight gain of the tubers decreased, and the other properties were not stable. There was no statistical significance among the tuber sizes in terms of specific weight, dry matter, the ratio of starch and protein and chip productivity, but weight loss and fat absorption ratio …


Relationship Between Leaf Area Index At Anthesis And Yield In Wheat Under Çukurova Conditions, Müjde Koç, Celaleddi̇n Barutçular Jan 2000

Relationship Between Leaf Area Index At Anthesis And Yield In Wheat Under Çukurova Conditions, Müjde Koç, Celaleddi̇n Barutçular

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Wheat yields are closely related to leaf area index (LAI) at anthesis. The optimum leaf area index differs according to genotype and location conditions. Three field experiments were conducted to determine the pattern of the relationship between LAI at anthesis and yield in Çukurova , a region with an acclerated ear and grain growth. Different genotypes, seeding density and nitrogen doses were used to create a range of LAI. Biological yield (BY) and grain yield (GY) increased quadratically in response to LAI values, with greater responses for BY (R 2 =0.46**) than for GY (R 2 =0.35**). As LAI increased …
