DETERMINATION OF FATTY ACID COMPOSITION ON DIFFERENT FALSE FLAX (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) GENOTYPES UNDER ANKARA ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Duran KATAR

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine fatty acid composition of different false flax (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) genotypes (Vinimik 17, PI 304269, CR 476/65, CR 1674/90, Ames26665, Ames26667, Ames26673, Ames26676, Ames26680, Ames26686 and Ames28372) in terms of  oleic, linoleic, linolenic, steraic, eicosenoic and erucic acids in 2010 and 2011. Results showed that having highest linolenic acid content, Ames28372 could be suggested to be used as oil crops for oil industry or as medicine plant / as biodiesel fuels. Though the content of erucic acid in camelina genotypes used in this study was too beyond the permitted value of 1 %, they could be safely used with erucic acid level decreased under codex limit by breeding programs.

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.
