Physiological Responses Of Two Turkish Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Varieties To Salinity, Özgür Tatar, Holger Brueck, Mi̇that Nuri̇ Gevrek, Folkard Asch Jan 2010

Physiological Responses Of Two Turkish Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Varieties To Salinity, Özgür Tatar, Holger Brueck, Mi̇that Nuri̇ Gevrek, Folkard Asch

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Effects of salinity (60 mM NaCl) on 2 Turkish rice varieties (Kıral and Yavuz) were studied in comparison to 2 international check varieties (IR4630-22-2 tolerant and IR31785-58-1-2-3-3 susceptible) in 2 hydroponic and 1 outdoor soil-based pot experiments. Partitioning of dry matter, leaf chlorophyll concentration, K^+ and Na^+ uptake, and proline accumulation in the leaves were investigated under both control and salt stress conditions. Dry matter accumulation decreased with salt stress in all varieties, with the decreases being more pronounced in IR31785 and Kıral. The results showed that the varieties tested expressed different adaptation mechanisms under salt stress; however, the increase …


Effect Of Glycinebetaine On Proline, Water Use, And Photosynthetic Efficiencies, And Growth Of Rice Seedlings Under Salt Stress, Suriyan Chaum, Chalermpol Kirdmanee Jan 2010

Effect Of Glycinebetaine On Proline, Water Use, And Photosynthetic Efficiencies, And Growth Of Rice Seedlings Under Salt Stress, Suriyan Chaum, Chalermpol Kirdmanee

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The aim of this investigation was to improve salt tolerance abilities prior to rice crop harvesting, including proline accumulation, pigment stabilization, water use efficiency (WUE), photosynthetic efficiency, and growth, by using exogenous foliar-sprayed glycinebetaine (Glybet). Pathumthani 1 (PT1) is reported to be a salt-sensitive cultivar and it was selected as a model plant. The proline content of PT1 rice was enriched by 50 mM of foliar-sprayed Glybet, thereby maintaining WUE and pigment stabilization, leading to high photosynthetic performance in chlorophyll a fluorescence and CO_2 assimilation, and increasing plant height when the plant was exposed to 150 mM of NaCl salt …


Evaluation Of Fertilizing Schemes For Direct-Seeding Rice Fields In Taihu Lake Basin, China, Yong Li, Lin Zhang Yang, Chao Wang Jan 2010

Evaluation Of Fertilizing Schemes For Direct-Seeding Rice Fields In Taihu Lake Basin, China, Yong Li, Lin Zhang Yang, Chao Wang

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Field experiments were performed to identify an effective fertilizing scheme for direct-seeding rice (DSR) fields in the Taihu Lake Basin in east China. Based on local traditions, 3 typical fertilizing schemes (FS-1, FS-2, and FS-3) were evaluated, in consideration of ensuring a certain rice yield and relatively low nitrogen (N) loss. The base, seedling, tillering, jointing, and panicle fertilizers for FS-1 were all 20% of 270 kg N ha^{-1}, those for FS-2 were 30%, 30%, 0%, 25%, and 15% of 270 kg N ha^{-1}, and 15%, 20%, 25%, 20%, and 20% of 220 kg N ha^{-1} for FS-3, respectively.
