Search For O-Type Plants In Sugar Beet, Mustafa Erdal Jan 2001

Search For O-Type Plants In Sugar Beet, Mustafa Erdal

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This research was started in 1995 in order to find O-types, which are important basic materials in breeding monogerm hybrid sugar beets, and to develop their male sterile parallels in six monogerm families previously bred in the Plant Breeding Department of the Sugar Institute. For this purpose, a total of 600 (100 from each family) O-type candidate fertile plants were crossed with testers which were known to be cytoplasmic male steriles (CMS) by mating one fertile and one male sterile plant in a cage insulated with cotton cloth. In crossing male sterile and fertile plants, a sufficient amount of seed …

Using Pheromone Traps To Control California Red Scale Aonidiella Aurantii (Maskell) (Hom.: Diaspididae) In The Eastern Mediterranean Region, Mehtap Aytaş, Rabi̇a Yumruktepe, Cafer Mart

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study the possibility of using pheromone traps against California Red Scale (C.R.S.), Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) (Hom.: Diaspididae), the main pest of citrus fruits, was examined. In 1995 and 1996 the male flight periods and four peak points were determined. There was a significant correlation between trapped males and leave-fruit C.R.S. populations. By the use of pheromone traps the unobserved C.R.S. population can be determined in the orchard. The most suitable application time could be determined properly from the IPM point of view. Also mass trapping for C.R.S. was not found to be a promising method according to effectiveness …

Withdrawal Strength Of Dowels In Plywood And Oriented Strand Board, Yusuf Zi̇ya Erdi̇l, Carl A. Eckelman

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) are being used increasingly in the construction of upholstered furniture frames. Yet there is little information available concerning the holding strength of various fasteners, and, in particular, dowels in these materials. A study was conducted accordingly, to obtain basic information about the holding strength of dowels in both plywood and oriented strand board. Results of the tests were incorporated into predictive expressions that allow designers to estimate withdrawal strength as a function of the diameter of the dowels, their depth of embedment and the density of the composite material. Given the variability of the …

Changes In Weed Response To 2,4-D Application With 5 Repeated Applications In Spring Wheat, Hüseyi̇n Zengi̇n

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

2,4-D amine and 2,4-D isooctylester were sprayed repeatedly in the spring of 5 consecutive years on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.cv.Kırik)in Erzurum during the years 1990-1994. The herbicide efficacy against all broad-leaved weeds and against the most common weed species was determined by comparing the number of weeds in untreated and treated plots. The most abundant weed species were Polygonum aviculare, Amaranthus retroflexus and Chenopodium albumin spring wheat. The effect of 2,4-D amine decreased after 3 or 4 years in A.retroflexus, C.album,Convolvulus arvensis, Acroptilon repens, Lactuca serriola, P.aviculare, Cirsium arvense and other broad-leaved weeds.

Screening Of Wheat Varieties For Resistance To Head Scab Caused By Fusarium Graminearum Schwabe, Si̇bel Dervi̇ş

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, variability in pathogenicity among Fusarium graminearum isolates from different locations in Ohio was determined. The most virulent isolates from these locations were chosen and used in segregation studies to evaluate the resistance of some resistant by resistant winter wheat crosses to Fusarium head scab. Differences in pathogenicity levels were significant among isolates even from the same location. Several generalizations can be made about the segregating generations in this study. The results indicated that Ning 7840 carries multiple genes for resistance. In addition, we found that Freedom and Ning 7840 have at least one resistance gene different. Although …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Both an \alpha-amylase gene of Bacillus subtilis RSKK246 and a gene encoding \beta-glucanase from B.subtilis RSKK243 were cloned and expressed in both E.coli XL1-Blue MRF and B.subtilis YB886 by using the vectors pUC18 and pUB110 respectively. These genes were also cloned into the E.coli-yeast shuttle vectors pRS406 and pRS416 for transfer into the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.These constructs carrying \alpha -amylase and \alpha -glucanase,genes which were cloned into the pRS406 vector,were expressed by integration into the yeast chromosome.These genes were also expressed in the yeast by autonomous replication of the ARS/CEN plasmid pRS416.This work demonstrates that genes belonging to B.subtilis can …


An Evapotranspiration Model For Nursery Plants Grown In A Lysimeter Under Field Conditions, Hali̇l Kirnak, Ted Henry Short Jan 2001

An Evapotranspiration Model For Nursery Plants Grown In A Lysimeter Under Field Conditions, Hali̇l Kirnak, Ted Henry Short

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

A modified combination model that used ambient temperature,relative humidity,solar radiation,air velocity and leaf area index (LAI) as inputs was developed for nursery plants, and its prediction was compared to the measured ET of the plant. A nursery plant of red maple (Acer rubrum) grown in a lysimeter under field conditions was used to test it. This modified combination model was shown to accurately estimate the evapotranspiration (ET) of a potted red maple (R^2=0.79). The most significant driving parameters for ET were solar radiation level and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). An exponential relationship between stomatal resistance and solar radiation for red …

An Investigation Of Winter Harvesting On Steep Terrain In Forestry, Hafiz Hulusi̇ Acar, Bi̇lal Di̇nç Jan 2001

An Investigation Of Winter Harvesting On Steep Terrain In Forestry, Hafiz Hulusi̇ Acar, Bi̇lal Di̇nç

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Forest productions are very difficult, expensive and time consuming. In the Black Sea Region, forests cover generally high and steep slopes of mountainous areas. Therefore, the problems of forestry production studies are gaining in importance. In forestry production studies, the absence of mechanization level and its application causes qualitative and quantitative losses. In this study, the time required for felling and skidding operations in winter were determined and factors affecting logging were observed and recorded. The data obtained were later analyzed. According to this study, productivity at winter harvesting for felling operations is 1,948 m^3/h, for skidding with human power …


The Chemistry Of Fresh Tomato Flavor, Emi̇n Yilmaz Jan 2001

The Chemistry Of Fresh Tomato Flavor, Emi̇n Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Tomato flavor results from taste components, aromatic volatiles and a complex interaction between them. Lack of characteristic flavor in supermarket tomatoes is a common consumer complaint. Sugars, organic acids, free amino acids, and salts are the main taste components. With over 400 volatile compounds identified, only thirty are present in concentrations over one ppb and of these, only 16 contribute significantly to the perceptible flavor. Radiolabeled substrate and enzyme denaturation studies have indicated involvement of some pathway enzymes in the biosynthesis of tomato aroma compounds. Studies of fresh tomato flavor are important for the efforts at improving fruit quality through …

Serving Size And Gender Effects On Product (Lemonade) Acceptance And Just-Right Attribute Ratings, Zehra Ayhan, Chen-Ta Li, Matrid K. Ndife, Q. Howard Zhang

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The serving size and gender effects on product acceptance and ideal attribute (lemonade flavor, sourness and sweetness) ratings of lemonade were investigated using a 15-point hedonic scale and a 5-point just-right scale, respectively. Females (67) and males (68) consumed a 4 oz (118 ml) sample ad libitum, or a full 8 oz (236 ml) serving. Ad libitum male consumption was not different (p>0.05) from female consumption. A low correlation (R^2=0.011) was observed between the amount of lemonade consumed and product acceptability or just-right attribute ratings. Neither serving size nor gender had an effect on the overall acceptability (p>0.05). …
