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 …

The present study was designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean. Four MYMV-resistant ricebean genotypes (RBL1, RBL6, RBL35, and RBL50) were hybridized as males with the MYMV-susceptible urdbean line PS 1 using hand emasculation and pollination techniques under field conditions. The results revealed significant differences in the crossability of ricebean genotypes with an urdbean genotype. The highest number of crossed pods was obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 × RBL35. Crossability ranged from 0.6% to 2.89% with an average value of 1.87%. The number of F1 seeds in the crossed pod varied from 1 …

The cork oak (Quercus suber L.) has been the focus of research dealing with the conservation and reforestation of this species due to its economic importance and the problem of deforestation affecting it. The genetic diversity of this tree species, its main aspect of adaptation, has not been sufficiently studied. The Moroccan cork oak tree is found in the northern part of the country, where the fruits of the tree are soft corns. This forest tree species has undergone a strong decline due to many factors, including a significant loss of its biological diversity. While working within the national framework …

In the present study, five different grapes varieties grown in Turkey were comprehensively characterized in terms of physicochemical properties, total bioactive content, antiradical activity, and volatile sugar compounds. Thermal degradation kinetics of anthocyanin in the selected grape varieties were also analyzed. All the bioactive compounds and antiradical activity varied depending on variety and grape part (skin, pulp, or seed). Higher amounts of total phenolics, total flavonoids, anthocyanin, and antiradical capacity were obtained from seeds. Fifty-nine volatile compounds were observed in the grape varieties. Terpenoid compounds were determined to be the predominant aroma compounds, of which limonene and citral had the …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Growth, oil yield, and carvacrol content in Thymbra spicata L. Var. Spicata microshoots were analyzed after 12 weeks of storage in MS media supplemented with elevated levels (0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 M) of three osmotic agents (sucrose, sorbitol, and mannitol) or ABA (0.0, 3.8, 7.6, and 11.4 μM). The obtained results revealed that using 0.2 M sucrose in the storage media yielded the best results in terms of growth reduction during conservation as well as maintenance of microshoot recovery at full capacity (100%) after conservation. Meanwhile, 0.1 M sorbitol or mannitol in addition to 3.8 μM ABA were …

Yield And Fruit Quality Of Sweet Pepper Depending On Foliar Application Of Calcium, Halina Buczkowska, Zenia Michalojc, Renata Nurzynska-Wierdak
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The proper feeding of field plants is one of the most significant factors with an impact on their growth and development. Calcium is one of the basic nutrients of plants, crucial in many cell processes. Calcium in a plant is reutilized very poorly, and hence symptoms of deficiency of this component are observed on the youngest leaves, apexes of stems and roots, and, most importantly, on the fruits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar Ca feeding on the yield of sweet pepper 'Caryca F1' and on selected elements of its fruit quality in field …

A diversity study was carried out to genetically characterize 375 oat landraces (Avena sativa L. And Avena byzantina K.Koch) collected from Turkey and preserved in different gene banks. New assays interrogating oat-based microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism loci were used to characterize the landraces. The assays interrogated 176 alleles at 68 loci with an average of 4.5 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content of the simple sequence repeats was relatively high with a mean value of 0.76. The first two principal components from the principal component analysis (PCA) separated two groups of accessions and explained 9.3% of the variation …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) have been used for the assessment of Zn phytoavailability. Phosphorus is of particular interest in soils having Zn toxicity because of the Zn-P interaction. A greenhouse study was carried out to assess the influence of different P rates on the Zn phytoavailability to sorghum-Sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare var. Sudanese) in soil systems by DGT. Soil was amended with ZnSO4 at 0, 150, 300, 600, and 1200 mg Zn kg-1 in order to create various levels of Zn phytoavailability. Phosphorus was applied to soil at 0, 100, and 200 mg P kg-1 as KH2PO4.

Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic and persistent elements, with no known biological role. High concentrations of lead enter saline soils through anthropogenic activities and industrial waste. The decontamination of Pb polluted sites through phytoremediation, especially by using woody plants, is an attractive approach. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a good accumulator of Pb and a recommended tree species for reclamation of saline soils. However, there is very limited knowledge about the Pb-uptake behavior of Eucalyptus camaldulensis under saline conditions. The objective of this study was to examine the simultaneous impact of NaCl salinity and Pb stress on the phytoremedial …

One of the most important key factors for efficient and profitable agricultural production is agricultural mechanization. Since agricultural mechanization system expenses are nearly 30% of an agricultural enterprise investment, the mechanization system should be planned very carefully. Since internet technologies have spread into all areas, including agriculture, a web-based decision support system (DSS) was developed to plan an agricultural machinery system to be used in Turkey's farm enterprises. The developed DSS was written in PHP and the databases were created using the MySQL database administration system. Several tables to select proper machine size and tractor power, including tractor test report …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Plum pox virus (PPV) is the causal agent of sharka disease of stone fruit trees. Since the late 1960s, PPV infection has been reported in different regions of Turkey. In this study, we aim to discover PPV strains in infected regions and determine its genetic variability in Turkey. For this reason, 612 samples were collected from distant locations, where PPV was previously detected in most cases. First, PPV presence in the samples was tested with serological and molecular methods to confirm the disease. Then 314 positive samples were sequence analyzed at a 664-nucleotide length, including the P3-6K1 gene region, one …
