SUPERIOR LINES FOR AGRO-TECHNOLOGICAL TRAITS IN SAFFLOWER (Carthamus tinctorius L.)

Ebru ASKIN , Sabri ERBAS

Abstract

In safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding, determining superior pure lines after crossing for agrotechnological traits is the first step to improve new cultivar candidates. Therefore, aim of the study was to determine superior pure lines of sufflower in F9-10 derived three intraspecific crosses evaluating the agronomical and technological (quality) traits. A total of 25 safflower genotypes including 15 pure lines was compared with 10 standard cultivars (Dincer 5-18-1, Centennial, Remzibey-05, Balci, Linas, Olas, Gelendost-2, Gokturk, Montola 2000 and W6 9822) and genotypes along with parents of lines for two years in 2017-2018. GEMO-20 had higher 1000-seed weight, GECE-8 and GEMO-20 had higher oil content, GEMO-19, 28 and GEW6-7 had higher oil yield, GEMO-28 and GEW6-7 had higher seed yield than standard cultivars. According to 1000-seed weight, oil content, seed and oil yield traits, GEMO-19, GEMO-20, GEMO-28 and GEW6-7 lines were identified as superior lines.

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.
