Evaluation Of Yield And Quality Parameters Of Phosphorous-Solubilizing And N-Fixing Bacteria Inoculated In Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Sancar Bulut
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Considering current agricultural practices and certain indicators, it is impossible to comment on sustainability of these practices. Chemical fertilizers are among such unsustainable practices. Because of increasing mineral fertilizer costs and negative environmental impacts of these fertilizers, the interest in biological nitrogen fixation is increasing within the scope of sustainable agriculture (without significant yield losses). Therefore, effects of phosphorus-solubilizing (Bacillus megatherium var. phosphaticum [M-13]) and nitrogen-fixing (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia [82] and Ralstonia pickettii [73]) bacteria and chemical fertilizer treatments on wheat yield and quality parameters were compared with control treatment in present study. Significant differences were observed among treatments with regard …
Differential Expression Analysis Of Defense-Related Genes Responsive To Tilletia Indica Infection In Wheat, Aradhika Tripathi, Rashmi Aggarwal, Anita Yadav
Differential Expression Analysis Of Defense-Related Genes Responsive To Tilletia Indica Infection In Wheat, Aradhika Tripathi, Rashmi Aggarwal, Anita Yadav
Turkish Journal of Biology
Karnal bunt caused by Tilletia indica is a quarantine disease responsible for qualitative and quantitative losses in wheat. The present study aimed to determine the expression of defense-related genes involved in early stages of infection in response to T. indica by using the differential display reverse transcriptase-PCR method (DDRT-PCR) in susceptible (WL 711) and resistant (HD 29) cultivars of wheat. The DDRT-PCR banding profiles generated by the random primers in combination with oligo-dT primers of resistant and susceptible wheat plants were evaluated at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after inoculation. Out of 9 sets of primers, …
Seed Priming Improves Irrigation Water Use Efficiency, Yield, And Yield Components Of Late-Sown Wheat Under Limited Water Conditions, Hakoomat Ali, Nadeem Iqbal, Ahmad Naeem Shahzad, Naeem Sarwar, Shakeel Ahmad, Athar Mehmood
Seed Priming Improves Irrigation Water Use Efficiency, Yield, And Yield Components Of Late-Sown Wheat Under Limited Water Conditions, Hakoomat Ali, Nadeem Iqbal, Ahmad Naeem Shahzad, Naeem Sarwar, Shakeel Ahmad, Athar Mehmood
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
A randomized complete block design field study with split plot arrangements was conducted during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 at the Agronomic Research Station in Khanewal, Pakistan, to evaluate if seed priming could improve grain yield and water use efficiency of late-sown wheat under limited water supply conditions. Seeds of cultivar Inqlab-91 received one of the following treatments: they were soaked in aerated distilled water for 12 or 24 h (hydropriming), layered between moist gunny bags for 12 or 24 h (matriconditioning), soaked in tap water for 12 h (on-farm priming), or hydroprimed for 12 h and then kept at -20 °C …
Evaluation Of Efficiency Parameters Of Phosphorous-Solubilizing And N-Fixing Bacteria Inoculations In Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Sancar Bulut
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Chemical fertilizers play a significant role in increasing plant production; however, they may have a negative impact on soil fertility and cause environmental degradation in cases of excessive use. In addition, the highest levels in chemical fertilizer use have already been reached, and further yield increases do not seem possible. Due to their negative impact on soils and the environment, alternatives to chemical fertilizers are needed. Today, biological alternatives are yielding promising outcomes. Biological nitrogen fixation may constitute a significant alternative in organic farming. Therefore, in the present study, the effects of single, dual, and triple combinations of phosphorus-solubilizing [Bacillus …
Phytotoxic Effects Of Herbicide Attribut And Surfactant Biopower On The Root, Stem, And Leaf Anatomy Of Triticum Aestivum Pehlivan, Gülden Yilmaz, Feruzan Dane
Phytotoxic Effects Of Herbicide Attribut And Surfactant Biopower On The Root, Stem, And Leaf Anatomy Of Triticum Aestivum Pehlivan, Gülden Yilmaz, Feruzan Dane
Turkish Journal of Botany
This study was performed in order to determine toxic effects of different doses of Attribut (propoxycarbazone-sodium) used in wheat fields and BioPower (sodium alkyl ether sulphate) surfactant added to Attribut on Triticum aestivum L. Pehlivan. The doses used in the study were 0.42 mM Attribut, 0.82 mM Attribut, and 1.68 mM Attribut with or without 0.25% BioPower. Laboratory studies showed that the effective concentration value corresponded to the farmer dose, 0.42 mM Attribut. Applications were done by seed treatment. The effects of each of the doses applied to wheat plants were monitored in terms of anatomical parameters. Attribut doses of …
Protective Role Of Foliar-Applied Nitric Oxide In Triticum Aestivum Under Saline Stress, Farhana Kausar, Muhammad Shahbaz, Muhammad Ashraf
Protective Role Of Foliar-Applied Nitric Oxide In Triticum Aestivum Under Saline Stress, Farhana Kausar, Muhammad Shahbaz, Muhammad Ashraf
Turkish Journal of Botany
A study was conducted to assess whether foliar-applied nitric oxide (NO) could alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Four sodium nitroprusside levels (control [water spray] and 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mM) were sprayed as a donor of NO on the leaves of cultivar S-24 plants grown under nonsaline and saline conditions (150 mM NaCl). Data for growth and yield, chlorophyll contents, activities of antioxidants, and concentrations of mineral nutrients were recorded. Root-medium salinity adversely affected shoot and root dry weight, shoot length, and yield attributes of the wheat plants while it enhanced the activities …
