Diversity Analysis Of Genetic, Agronomic, And Quality Characteristics Of Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars Grown In Turkey, Mustafa Erayman, Emre İlhan, Abdi̇l Hakan Eren, Hüseyi̇n Güngör, Batuhan Akgöl

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Turkey is an important bread wheat producer. The objective of this study was to dissect the diversity of genetic, agronomic, and quality characteristics of bread wheat cultivars grown on 25% of the total wheat area in Turkey. A total of 24 wheat cultivars and 5 wild progenitors of wheat were examined using 24 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers with a known physical locus on the A, B, and D genomes of hexaploid wheat. A total of 72 bands produced 939 alleles on the wheat cultivars and wild progenitors. Markers were efficient in discriminating the species and the highest genetic diversity …


Diversity Analysis Of Green Gram (Vigna Radiata (L.) Wilczek)Through Morphological And Molecular Markers, Gunjeet Kaur, Arunabh Joshi, Devendra Jain, Ravish Choudhary, Divya Vyas Jan 2016

Diversity Analysis Of Green Gram (Vigna Radiata (L.) Wilczek)Through Morphological And Molecular Markers, Gunjeet Kaur, Arunabh Joshi, Devendra Jain, Ravish Choudhary, Divya Vyas

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Twenty-three genotypes of green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) were collected to determine the extent of genetic diversity through morphological characters as well as random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) fingerprinting results. Analysis of variance revealed significant mean square values that indicated a substantial degree of genetic variability among the genotypes. Significant genetic variance was observed for days to 50% maturity, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, pod length (cm), 1000-seed weight (g), seed yield/plant (g), biological yield (g), and harvest index (%) during cultivation in …


Molecular Markers To Evaluate Genetic Diversity Among Venturia Inaequalis Isolates Obtained From Apple Plantations In Isparta Province, Suat Kaymak, Nuh Boyraz, Jon Daniels Jan 2016

Molecular Markers To Evaluate Genetic Diversity Among Venturia Inaequalis Isolates Obtained From Apple Plantations In Isparta Province, Suat Kaymak, Nuh Boyraz, Jon Daniels

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Turkey, the third leading apple producer in world, produces approximately 2.6 million tons of apples per year. Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab, is a major fungal disease among apples varieties. This study was conducted in accordance with the plant protection method for isolates collected from the apple production areas in Isparta Province. The purpose of this study was to determine genetic differences among V. inequalis isolates causing apple scab, and to discriminate the effects of varieties and geographical origins on genetic diversity. For this purpose, a total of 83 samples from the leaves and fruits of infected …


Diversity Pattern Among Agromorphological Traits Of The Swiss Chard(Beta Vulgaris L. Subsp. Vulgaris) Genetic Resources Of Turkey, Mehmet Kadri̇ Bozokalfa, Dursun Eşi̇yok, Tansel Kaygisiz Aşçioğul Jan 2016

Diversity Pattern Among Agromorphological Traits Of The Swiss Chard(Beta Vulgaris L. Subsp. Vulgaris) Genetic Resources Of Turkey, Mehmet Kadri̇ Bozokalfa, Dursun Eşi̇yok, Tansel Kaygisiz Aşçioğul

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris) is a nutritionally rich leafy vegetable of moderate economic value. Despite being the first species among the genus Beta to be cultivated, knowledge regarding its biodiversity and agronomic and morphological properties is limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the agromorphological characteristics of the Turkish Swiss chard genetic resources, and to determine their genetic relationships and diversity. To achieve this, a total of 52 Swiss chard accessions from a wide range of environmental and geographical origins in Turkey and two cultivars (one local and one foreign) were investigated. Fourteen qualitative and …
