Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, the mechanism of the biochemical adaptation of wild soybean to the experimentally modeled effects of cadmium sulfate and copper sulfate in approximately double permissible concentration was investigated. The extracted concentrations of cadmium and copper in the experimental soil were determined by inversion voltammetry - 1.46 and 48.25 mg/kg, respectively. Growing soybeans in soil with the addition of copper and cadmium sulfates led to an increase in the concentration of malonic dialdehyde in soybean seeds relative to control by 62% and 38%, respectively, which confirmed the strengthening of oxidative processes. There was also an increase in the specific …

Seed Biopriming Mitigates Terminal Drought Stress At Reproductive Stage Of Maize Byenhancing Gas Exchange Attributes And Nutrient Uptake, Hamid Nawaz, Nazim Hussain, Moazzam Jamil, Azra Yasmeen, Asad Bukhari, Muhammad Auringzaib, Muhammad Usman

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop around the globe. Scarcity of water is one of the major abiotic factors reducing yields in this crop. The development of maize varieties with stress-tolerant traits is time-consuming and laborious work. There is a strong need to develop techniques that could have the effect of reducing irrigation requirements and mitigating waterstress conditions. Biopriming (seed priming with bacterial inoculation) is a newly emerging, simple, and easily adaptable strategy to mitigate drought stress for enhanced crop production. The current trial was executed using a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangements during the …

The Effect Of Putrescine On Dna Methylation On Cabbage Plant Under Salt Stress Conditions, Emi̇ne Orhan, Furkan Uzundumlu, Esma Yi̇ği̇der, Murat Aydin

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Although studies on tolerance to abiotic stress conditions in cabbage species and varieties have been carried out, these studies have generally been conducted in field and greenhouse pot experiments. In such studies, morphological measurements and evaluations have been made. However, there are deficiencies in physiological and molecular detection studies. Therefore, this study focused on detecting any DNA methylation change in the genome of cabbage seedlings when NaCl (salt stress) in combination with putrescine (Put) was applied. Different concentrations of NaCl and Put were applied to white head cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L. cv Yalova-F1). Germination rate, root length, shoot length, seedling …

Elevated In-Soil Co2 Affects Physiology And Growth Of Pinus Densiflora And Quercus Variabilis Seedlings Under An Artificial Co2 Release Experiment, Hyunjun Kim, Seung Hyun Han, Seongjun Kim, Hanna Chang, Yowhan Son

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

It is important to understand how woody species are affected by elevated in-soil CO2 for carbon capture and storage (CCS). A study was conducted to analyze the effects of artificially released in-soil CO2 on the physiology and growth of 4-year-old Pinus densiflora and 3-year-old Quercus variabilis seedlings. Approximately 7.9 kg CO2 plot-1 d-1 was released at a depth of 0.5 m over the period from 20 June to 20 July 2017. For both species, chlorophyll fluorescence and content, photosynthetic rate, and leaf size significantly decreased after the CO2 release. However, stomatal behavior varied between these species under the elevated in-soil …

The Effects Of Wheatgrass Length On Antioxidant Activity And Total Phenolic Content Inwheatgrass (Triticum Spp.), Yusuf Şavşatli Jan 2020

The Effects Of Wheatgrass Length On Antioxidant Activity And Total Phenolic Content Inwheatgrass (Triticum Spp.), Yusuf Şavşatli

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was carried out with the aim of determining the effects of wheatgrass lengths on antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of wheatgrass belonging to different cultivars (Triticum spp.) in laboratory conditions in 2017. When the wheat seedlings grown in plastic containers under soilless conditions reached three levels of wheatgrass length (5-6, 8-9, and 11-12 cm), the seedlings were cut from the root collar and dried in an oven. As a result of analysis of the dried material, it was found that the cut lengths of wheatgrass significantly (P < 0.01) affected antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of wheatgrass. Ten wheat cultivars belonging to Triticum monococcum L., T. durum L., and T. aestivum L. were used. Wheatgrass was cut at three lengths (5-6, 8-9, and 11-12 cm). It was found that the wheatgrass lengths had a significant (P < 0.01) effect on antioxidant and total phenolic content of wheatgrass. In addition, in terms of these traits, the most suitable wheatgrass length for cutting changed depending on the wheat species and also cultivars. The highest (P < 0.01) antioxidant activity and total phenolic content (TPC) were also determined at three wheatgrass lengths in cultivar Sarıbaşak. The average values obtained from Sarıbaşak wheatgrass were 31.0% for DPPH-free radical scavenging activity and 51.6 mg GAE-1 dry weight for TPC. The results of the analysis suggested that Sarıbaşak is the most promising cultivar in terms of both antioxidant activity and TPC in wheatgrass.

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), which has a very wide host range including cucurbit species, causes serious direct and indirect damage to many crops. In both greenhouse and open field melon cultivation in Antalya (in southwestern Turkey), the control of this pest generally depends on the use of chemical insecticides, resulting in a rapid increase in resistance to a wide range of insecticides. In the present study, a total of 23 melon lines (22 indigenous and 1 exotic) belonging to 2 varieties (Cucumis melo var. inodorus and C. melo var. reticulatus) were evaluated for resistance to the …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plant community responses to environmental changes depend upon management strategies, climate, topography, and time. The objective herein was to determine canopy coverage and botanical changes in Turkish highland rangelands with different topographical characteristics between 1993 and 2013. Trends in the plant composition changed depending on the slope aspect (compass direction) and topography. The contribution of the grasses to the canopy decreased, while that of legumes and the other families increased. The results indicated that rangeland degradation occurred under uncontrolled grazing conditions. Suitable range management changes are recommended for the conservation of natural resources in the highland rangelands of Turkey.

Application Of Handheld Laser Scanning Technology For Forest Inventory Purposes In Thene Turkey, Can Vatandaşlar, Mustafa Zeybek

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Forest inventory (FI) is the most challenging stage of forest management and planning process. Therefore, in situ surveys are often reinforced by modern remote sensing (RS) methods for collecting forestry-related data more efficiently. This study tests a stateof- the-art data collection method for practical use in the Turkish FI system for the first time. To this end, forest sampling plots were conventionally measured to collect dendrometric data from 437 trees in Artvin and Saçınka Forest Enterprises. Then, each plot was scanned using a handheld mobile laser scanning (HMLS) instrument. Finally, HMLS data were compared against ground measurements via basic FI …

Public Accountability In Regulatory Governance, Christine Mae D. Hernando, Jan 2020

Public Accountability In Regulatory Governance, Christine Mae D. Hernando,

Journal of Public Affairs and Development

Assessing public accountability to improve public service delivery, local governance, and development has been an increasing global concern. The discourse and practice of accountability has been integrated in many disciplines such as public administration, political science, organizational development, and environmental management. But while some studies focus on accountability assessment in specific areas of public management and related concerns, the current academic literature of accountability reveals the paucity of studies on accountability assessment models in regulatory governance. This paper presents a review of relevant literature on public accountability, regulation and regulatory governance; issues and concerns affecting regulatory governance; and assessment perspectives …
