This experiment was carried out to determine the yield and oil contents of jojoba populations that were derived from a base population raised from seed in Antalya between 1999 and 2001. In the first year 59 types were evaluated, and 19 promising types were determined. In the second and third years experiments were conducted on these 19 types. Chilling, insect and disease damage was not seen during the experiment periods. However, some plants were dead where water ponded after heavy rains. The mature seeds were hand collected after they fell onto the soil in September, and their yield and oil …


Comparison Of Determinate And Indeterminate Types Of Sesame For Oil Content And Fatty Acid Composition, Bülent Uzun, Sali̇h Ülger, M. İlhan Çağirgan Jan 2002

Comparison Of Determinate And Indeterminate Types Of Sesame For Oil Content And Fatty Acid Composition, Bülent Uzun, Sali̇h Ülger, M. İlhan Çağirgan

Determinate growth habit in sesame is not available in nature originally. The character was a mutant induced by gamma rays and has the potential to make possible mechanised harvesting in sesame by enabling synchronous flowering. Though no detailed study on fatty acids of determinate types has been recently performed, much material is available on the genotypes of indeterminates. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare determinate and indeterminate types of sesame with regard to oil content and fatty acid composition. A total of 10 genotypes, six determinate and four indeterminate types, were grown in a randomised complete blocks design with …
