Interpretation Of Genotype-By-Environment Interaction For Late Maize Hybrids’ Grain Yield Using A Biplot Method, Hamid Dehghani, Naser Sabaghnia, Mohammad Moghaddam

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The stability of grain yield of 11 late maize hybrids with a check cultivar were studied in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications for 2 years at 11 sites in multi-environment trials in Iran. The obtained data were analyzed with a GGE [genotype + (genotype × environment interaction)] biplot method. The first 2 principal components (PC1 and PC2) were used to create a 2-dimensional GGEbiplot and explained 44% and 27% of GGE sum of squares (SS), respectively. Ranking of the genotypes based on the ideal genotype revealed that grain yields of G2, G3, and G12 were higher together …

Observation Of Liquid Permeability Related To Anatomical Characteristics In Samanea Saman, Sheikh Ali Ahmed, Su Kyoung Chun

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This paper examines wood anatomy as it relates to safranine solution penetration in Samanea saman, which belongs to the family Mimosoideae and is native to Bangladesh. The wood of this species was characterized by diffuse-porous vessels with simple perforations, alternate and opposite vestured intervessel pits, gums in heartwood vessels, vascicentric paratracheal axial parenchyma, lozenge-aliform, confluent prismatic crystals in fiber, and chambered axial parenchyma cells. Different anatomical features affect longitudinal and lateral liquid permeability. Herein microstructures that controlled liquid penetration are described and compared. We observed that ray cell lumen diameter, end-wall pit number and diameter, ray cell length, vessel number, …

Microbial Biomass And Enzyme Activity In Vineyard Soils Under Organic And Conventional Farming Systems, Nur Okur, Ahmet Altindi̇şli̇, Muzaffer Çengel, Selçuk Göçmez, Hüseyi̇n Hüsnü Kayikçioğlu

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Many recent studies from around the world have compared organic and conventional farming systems in terms of soil properties. Microbial biomass and enzyme activity were compared in vineyard soils managed by organic and conventional practices under Mediterranean conditions during the growing. Organic treatments were (i) green manure and farmyard manure at the rate of 30 t ha^{-1} (GM1), (ii) green manure and farmyard manure at the rate of 10 t ha^{-1}, plus E2001 EM Bio-polymer gel solution (GM2), and (iii) green manure plus E2001 EM Bio-polymer gel solution (GM3). Only mineral fertilizers and pesticides were used in the conventional system …

The Physico-Chemical And Microbiological Properties Of Wheat Flour In Thrace, Ali̇ Aydin, Peter Paulsen, Frans Johannes M. Smulders

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The physico-chemical and microbiological properties of wheat flour samples (type 650) obtained from 7 different locations in the Thrace region (Turkey) were assessed. Totally 142 wheat flour samples were analysed physico-chemically in terms of ash, moisture, fat acidity, and protein amounts, and microbiologically in terms of total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB), Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, moulds, rope-spore counts, and Salmonella spp. In the physico-chemical parameters investigated, only the ash levels of flour samples were higher than the limit laid down in the Turkish Food Codex and Codex Alimentarius. In some locations, the levels of TMAB, E. coli, and …

The Relationship Between The Form Of Dead Bark And Lignin Content In Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris L.), Tomasz Jelonek, Witold Pazdrowski, Magdalena Arasimowicz-Jelonek, Jaroslaw Gzyl, Arkadiusz Tomczak, Jolanta Floryszak-Wieczorek

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study the proportion of lignin in wood tissue was analysed in 36 Scots pines differing in their form of dead bark. Material for analyses came from pure pine stands aged 89-91 years located in northern Poland. Chemical analyses were performed in the mature wood zone comprising the last 10 diameter increments located at a height of 1.3 m (DBH). Results indicate differences in lignin content and growth rate in pines whose stems were characterized by different forms of dead bark. The study showed significant differences in lignin contents between trees with shell and scaly dead bark and trees …

Physiological And Nutritional Responses Of Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L) To Salinity, Abdelmajid Krouma

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The aim of this study was to evaluate growth, nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and ionic repartition in 2 chickpea varieties, namely Chetoui and Amdoun, which are grown under salt stress. Inoculated seedlings were grown in a nutrient solution that lacked NaCl (control) or supplemented with 25 or 50 mM NaCl. Whole plant and nodule growth, nitrogen fixation and sodium, and chloride and potassium partitioning were subsequently evaluated. In comparison to Chetoui, Amdoun maintained a high level of whole plant and nodule growth and had a greater nitrogen fixation activity. Nitrogenase activity measurements demonstrated that nodule senescence was more precocious in Chetoui …

Detection Of Some Woody Plants In Late Oligocene Forests Of İstanbul, Nurgül Karlioğlu, Ünal Akkemi̇k, Hülya Caner

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

A paleopalynological study was performed on the fossilized pollen found in the coal and clay layers of the Akçelik Coalmine, which is one of the open lignite quarries located at the northern part of İstanbul, and 15 genera belonging to 14 families were identified from the late Oligocene of İstanbul. Of these 14 families, 4 families belong to Gymnospermae, and 10 of them belong to Angiospermae. In the study, 85.8% of pollen is arboreal (AP) (woody plants), 10.4% is non-arboreal (NAP) (herbal plants), and rest of them (3.8%) could not be identified. The middle coal layer has a significant number …

Genetic Variability And Interrelationship Among Grain Yield And Some Quality Traits In Turkish Winter Durum Wheat Landraces, Mevlüt Akçura

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Twenty durum wheat pure lines obtained from landraces collected from southwestern districts of Konya and 5 durum wheat cultivars were evaluated under rain fed conditions in Konya between 2005 and 2008 in a 3 replicates randomized complete block design to estimate genetic variation and heritability for grain yield and 6 quality traits. The overall goal of the study was to improve pure lines from durum wheat landraces for low input agricultural areas of the Central Anatolian region and similar environmental conditions. The broad sense heritability estimates ranged from 12.9% (particle size index) to 50.0% (semolina color). The highest expected genetic …

Industrial Copper Intoxication Of Iranian Fat-Tailed Sheep In Kerman Province, Iran, Ali Asghar Mozaffari, Amin Derakhshanfar, Jamileh Salar Amoli

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

An outbreak of industrial chronic copper poisoning in Iranian fat-tailed sheep in a region of southeast Iran is described. At least 10,000 out of 75,000 sheep (13.3%) originating from 50 flocks died over a period of 3 years in the Khatoon Abad region in Kerman province, Iran. The diagnosis was based on epidemiological, clinical, hematological, serum biochemical, urinalysis, necropsy and histopathological evaluations. Then findings were confirmed by toxicological analysis of liver and kidney samples. The details of epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and pathologic findings are described in the manuscript. These findings were indicative of chronic copper poisoning in affected sheep. Toxicological …

'De Facto Sovereignty': Boumediene And Beyond, Anthony J. Colangelo

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

In Boumediene v. Bush, which grants non-citizens detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, constitutional habeas corpus privileges the Supreme Court took notice that the United States maintains "de facto sovereignty" over that territory. As its sole precedential support, the Court cited a case that never mentions the term de facto sovereignty. What is this concept? How important is it to the Court's holding? Did the Court get the concept right given its longstanding usage and meaning in Supreme Court precedent? And what can de facto sovereignty tell us about when the Court will find habeas to extend to other situations …

Universal Jurisdiction As An International 'False Conflict' Of Laws, Anthony J. Colangelo

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

This symposium Essay uses the private law notion of a "false conflict" of laws to develop a coherent and normatively sound legal framework for evaluating the exercise of universal jurisdiction by states in the international legal system. The Essay suggests that properly exercised, universal jurisdiction creates no conflict of laws among states because, as a matter of prescriptive jurisdiction, universal jurisdiction is never really extra-territorial, and thus never generates the possibility of conflicting, overlapping laws. Rather, universal jurisdiction comprises a comprehensive territorial jurisdiction, originating in a universally-applicable international law that covers the globe. Individual states may apply and enforce that …

Constitutions For The 21st Century: Emerging Patterns-The Eu, Iraq, Afghanistan…, Chibli Mallat

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Mallat delivered the Third Annual Herbert L. Bernstein Memorial Lecture in Comparative Law in 2004 and this article is based on his remarks. The article is included in the inaugural volume of CICLOPs that collects the first six Bernstein lectures. Strong moments in constitution-making often result from traumas; the breakthroughs by the European Union and constitutional achievements by both Iraq and Afghanistan stand as modern examples. The traumas of Europe, Afghanistan, and Iraq have been typified by violent conflict over the past century, including two World Wars, the Cold War, and the ‘war on terrorism’. Efforts and successes at …
