Transcriptomic Analysis Of Tomato Lines Reveals Putative Stress-Specific Biomarkers, Monther Taha Sadder, Abdullah Alsadon, Mahmoud Wahb-Allah
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Different abiotic stresses recruit dedicated signaling and regulatory genes in plants. Genome-wide stress-specific biomarkers were investigated in tomatoes. Three major abiotic stresses were compared: drought, heat, and salinity. For each stress type, 2 different tomato lines were included: susceptible and tolerant. Gene expression was examined by hybridizing to an available tomato microarray. Several stress responsive genes were upregulated in tolerant as well as in susceptible lines for each stress. Comparative analysis of gene expression in response to stress (drought, heat, or salinity) resolved a number of common biomarkers, while other groups of putative biomarkers were associated with each abiotic stress. …

Effects Of Different Soil Salinity Levels On Germination And Seedling Growth Of Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius L.), Mehmet Demi̇r Kaya, Ari̇f İpek, Ahmet Öztürk
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is rated as moderately salt tolerant and it can produce profitable crops on saline soils. It is slightly more tolerant of salinity than barley but is more tolerant than wheat. Because salinity reduces germination and delays emergence, safflower stands tend to be irregular and crop yield is depressed. However, some varieties are less affected by salinity than others. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of soil salinity levels (0.8, 2.5, 5.1, 8.7, 13.0, 15.2 and 23.0 dS m^{-1}) on germination and seedling growth of three safflower varieties, one of which is spiny (5-154 …

Determination Of The Salt Tolerance Of Some Barley Genotypes And The Characteristics Affecting Tolerance, Seydi̇ Ahmet Bağci, Hasan Eki̇z, Ahmet Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The salt (NaCl) tolerance of 8 barley genotypes was investigated. Plants were grown hyroponically in Hoagland solution at 5 different NaCl concentrations. Germination percentage, shoot and root length, shoot and root dry weight, salt tolerance percentage, and K and Na concentrations in the shoots and roots were evaluated. Salt tolerance percentage, which is calculated from the germination percentage and dry weight production, was the most reliable criterion. On the other hand, with some exceptions, high K concentration and K/Na ratios were other potential criteria. Erginel-90 and WBELT-10 showed high levels of tolerance; and Obruk-86, Anadolu-86, Kıral-97 and Karatay-94 showed medium …
