DETERMINATION OF OIL QUALITY AND FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF SOME PEANUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) GENOTYPES GROWN IN MEDITERRANEAN REGION

Cenk Burak SAHIN, Mustafa YILMAZ, Necmi ISLER

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the performance of fifteen peanut lines from India and four peanut varieties (NC-7, Halisbey, Sultan and BATEM-5025) registered in Turkey. The present study was carried out in Osmaniye, which is under Mediterranean climate conditions as main crop season in 2020 and 2021. The experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The highest oil content of peanut was observed in ICGV 10193 (52.16%±0.34), followed by ICGV 10179 (51.58%±0.35) and ICGV 16013 (51.47%±0.35). However, Oleic Acid / Linoleic Acid (O/L) ratio and iodine value are both indicators of peanut shelf life and oil stability. ICGV 15074 and ICGV 16013 came to forefront with high O/L ratio (9.46±1.46, 5.44±0.61) and low iodine value (72.68±0.60, 76.41±0.69), respectively. As a result of the study, it was concluded that some Indian peanut lines, mentioned above, can be proper to include breeding program due to their higher oil and oleic acid contents.

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.
