Genome-Wide Association Studies Revealed Dartseq Loci Associated With Seed Traits In Turkish Common Bean Germplasm, Muhammad Azhar Nadeem, Faheem Shahzad Baloch

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Seed traits are very important agronomic traits that contribute significantly into crop yield and are considered useful indicators to monitor the inheritance of quantitative traits influenced by genotype and environmental conditions. To investıgate genomic regions useful for breeding high-yielding and highly nutritious common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars, a mini core collection of Turkish common bean germplasm was screened under five environments and two locations for seed traits (seed width, seed yield/plant (SYP), and hundred seed weight).

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, firstly, enzyme-active malt flours were obtained from different germinated grains including wheat, barley, rye, triticale, millet, maize, rice, and oat. Next, these enzyme-active malt flours and commercial enzyme were added to bread wheat flour in a level that provides the same amylolytic activity and their effects on bread quality were investigated. The germination process significantly increased the amylolytic enzyme activity in grains but also caused a significant change in L*, a*, and b* color values. Among flours containing different malt flours, the lowest delayed Zeleny sedimentation value was determined in flour containing paddy malt, while the highest …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The high concentration of bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃-) in irrigation water or soil is a limiting factor for the growth and production of kiwifruit vineyards. Especially the high concentration of bicarbonate in irrigation water can cause negative effects on the development of many plants at different rates. In this study, the effects of different concentrations (0, 170, 350, and 550 mg L-1) of bicarbonate ion (HCO₃-) in irrigation water on six kiwifruit seedlings (DA1, DA2, CK1, CK2, CK3, AA) were studied in the greenhouse condition.

Different Doses Of Cadmium In Soil Negatively Impact Growth, Plant Mineral Homeostasis And Antioxidant Defense Of Mung Bean Plants, Fahad Mohammed Alzuaibr

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Heavy metal (HM) pollution of soil has become a gigantic issue across the globe. Metals enter the food chain and cause problems in plants, animals, and humans. We performed this work to evaluate the impacts of different cadmium (Cd) levels on growth, physiology, mineral nutrition, and yield attributes of Vigna radiata. Changes in growth fund are statistically significant and directly linked with an increase in Cd doses. Various concentrations of cadmium exhibited significant (p ≤ 0.05) vicissitudes in biochemical parameters such as in the contents of chlorophyll, amino acids, soluble proteins, and total soluble sugars in experimental plants. The shoot …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Deacclimatization results in a loss of bud cold-hardiness whereas cold acclimation results in an increase in it. The regulation of the buds’ cold acclimation and deacclimation in woody plants are poorly understood. This study indicated that differential gene expression during acclimation and transition of the buds from acclimation to deacclimation in the light of dormancy and bud water content. One-year-old vine latent bus of cv. Chambourcin vines and 3309 C (Vitis riparia x Vitis rupestris) were used for the analyses. Five genes (CBF2, CBF4, NCED1, MYB14, and PLD) were selected for quantitative real-time PCR. Quantitative real-time PCR was applied to …

Genetic Diversity, Heritability, Correlation Coefficient, And Path Analysis Of Forage Yield Components In Iranian Phalaris Aquatica L. Genotypes, Reza Mohammadi, Alireza Pourmohammad, Mohammad Bagher Hassanpouraghdam, Serap Di̇ler

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Twenty-six selected genotypes of Phalaris aquatica L. from Iranian germplasm were evaluated to evaluate the genetic diversity of some agromorphological characteristics. Each selected genotype was cloned and planted as spaced single plants according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications in 2016 and 2017. Large and significant (p < 0.01) differences among genotypes were found for all traits. The estimates of broad sense heritability were low to high (h$^{2}$$_{b}$ = 0.16 - 0.75) for studied traits. High heritability estimates for dry matter yield (DMY) indicate a sufficient genetic variability for further improvement. There was the highest heritability rate and genetic advance for plant height and DMY. Selection for traits with high heritability and genetic advance can be successful. The dry matter yield cut 1 (DMY1) correlation with the number of days to flowering, number of days to pollination, plant height, and crown diameter cut 2 was positive and significant. In stepwise multiple linear regression, the plant height, number of stems per plant, and spike length explained more than 84% of the total variation of DMY1. The plant height was the most crucial component of DMY1. The path analysis showed that plant height positively affected DMY1 (0.83). The highest negative indirect effects on DMY1 were observed for plant height via the number of stems per plant (-0.238). Axes 1 and 2 of the principal coordinate analysis explained 40.94% and 18.48% of the variation, respectively, and, although not entirely separated, general groupings can be determined. In factor analysis, component 1 was positively associated with the traits dry matter yield cut 2 (DMY2) (0.855), dry matter yield (0.821), and plant height (0.755). Therefore, the first component can be called the biomass component. Finally, selection would be more effective in improving forage yield based on yield components. In conclusion, the results indicated appropriate genetic variability in the studied genotypes. However, the studied genotypes will deliver a valuable germplasm to employ in breeding programs for forage cultivar production. This progress is crucial in introducing these selected genotypes to develop a core collection of Phalaris aquatica germplasm in Iran.

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Practical and cost-effective food safety and production methods are essential, as huge areas of arable land are contaminated through heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd) pollution worldwide. This study was performed to assess impacts of dissimilar doses of trehalose (Tre) (0, 25, 50 mM) as foliar spray on wheat plants grown under different Cd stress levels (0, 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg), considering different growth, photosynthetic attributes and antioxidative defense mechanism in relation with the uptake of Cd to different plant parts. A considerable reduction was detected in growth, biomass, and chlorophyll contents under Cd stress linked with boosted lipid peroxidation, electrolyte …

Artificial Intelligence As An Alternative Modelling Strategy For Reliable Height-Diameter Predictions Of Mixed-Oaks Species, Maria J. Diamantopoulou, Ramazan Özçeli̇k, Burak Koparan, Onur Alkan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Forest management and sustainable timber production rely on forest measurements that include tree height. However, the fieldwork needed for tree height measurements is time-consuming, and several times, hard to obtain. The solution to this problem is the construction of reliable height-diameter (h-d) models that can provide accurate tree height predictions. To this direction, a modified Gompertz model that included dominant height and diameter at breast height was used to predict tree height. In order to investigate the most promising modelling method, six alternative approaches were evaluated; these involved both regression and artificial intelligence techniques and produced the (i) …
