ADDITIONAL NOTE ON INHERITANCE OF FE-DEFICIENCY CHLOROSIS IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinumL.)

Huseyin CANCI , Nisa Ertoy INCI , Fatma Oncu CEYLAN , Tolga YILDIRIM

Abstract

When susceptible cultivars are grown in calcareous soils with high pH, significant yield loss due to iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis is brought about in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). One of the most efficient ways for solve this problem is improved of Fe-deficiency chlorosis via conventional breeding methods. In the study, genotypes ICC 4851 and ICC 4858, which are resistant to Fe-deficiency chlorosis, were crossed with genotype ICC 6119, which is susceptible to Fe-deficiency chlorosis, and studied genetics of Fe-deficiency chlorosis in F1 and F2 segregating generations. Fe-deficiency chlorosis was governed by a major recessive gene and affected by environment factors like high temperature. A negative selection seems to be an effective approach after segregation in F2 or later generations.

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

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

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.
