Influence Of Salinity On Growth And Yield Attributes In Chickpea Cultivars, Ranju Singla, Neera Garg
Influence Of Salinity On Growth And Yield Attributes In Chickpea Cultivars, Ranju Singla, Neera Garg
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Seeds of 4 cultivars of chickpea (2 desi, CSG 8962 and DCP 92-3, and 2 kabuli, CSG 9651 and BG 267) were grown under 0, 4, 6 and 8 dS m^{-1} levels of salinity until maturity. Shoot and root dry weights, root shoot ratio and various yield parameters were evaluated under salinity at 40, 70 and 100 days after sowing. Salinity significantly reduced dry matter accumulation in both roots and shoots in all cultivars, though declension was more pronounced in BG 267 (kabuli) and DCP 92-3 (desi). Root growth was more adversely affected than shoot growth, which also had an …
Comparative Response Of Two Olive (Olea Europaea L.) Cultivars To Salinity, Mehmet Ali̇ Demi̇ral
Comparative Response Of Two Olive (Olea Europaea L.) Cultivars To Salinity, Mehmet Ali̇ Demi̇ral
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Two olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars, Leccino and Barnea, were exposed to increasing concentrations of NaCl (control, 2560, 5120 and 7680 mg l^{-1} of NaCl, which is equal to 4.0 dS m^{-1}, 8.0 dS m^{-1} and 12.0 dS m^{-1} salinity) in a sand culture. Plants were harvested and separated into different organs. Thin root, thick root, shoot and leaves were analysed for Na^+, Cl^-, K^+, Ca^{+2} and Mg^{+2} contents. Dry weights of the plants were determined. Shoot elongation was also measured. Increasing NaCl inhibited growth of the plants. However, this effect was only statistically significant in Barnea. The growth of …
Salinity Response Of Transgenic Potato Genotypes Expressing The Oxalate Oxidase Gene, Hakan Turhan
Salinity Response Of Transgenic Potato Genotypes Expressing The Oxalate Oxidase Gene, Hakan Turhan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In vitro and in vivo responses of transgenic and non-transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes to salinity were investigated. A gene responsible for the production of oxalate oxidase enzyme, whose expression has been associated with plant stress tolerance, was used. Transgenic potato plants expressing the oxalate oxidase enzyme were produced using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic nature of the plants was verified by their antibiotic (kanamycin) resistance and then in vitro enzyme assays. Four independent transgenic genotypes obtained from 2 cultivars, Maris Bard and Desiree, were tested at 5 levels of NaCl (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00% w/v) in vitro. …
