Abstract

In recent years, oat plant especially for hay yield is on high demand in Turkey. In this study, 167 Turkish oat landraces were evaluated for germination and some early seedling stage traits and genotyped by 6K SNP Chip assay to detect candidate markers using association mapping analysis. The variation in oat genotypes for germination and other investigated traits was significant 5%, except for germination rate (GR). In the research, principal component (PC) 1 and PC2 value was found 41.5% and 21.5%, respectively, explaining the 63% of the total variation. According to the results of the association mapping analysis a total number of 33 candidate markers were observed, eight candidate markers for germination rate, five candidate markers for germination ratio (GP), five markers for radicle length (RL), five markers for coleoptile length (CL), four markers for plumula length (PL), and six markers for seed vigor index (VI). These candidate markers identified in the study for germination and early seedling stage traits could be used in future studies.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
