GENOTYPIC VARIATIONS ON YIELD, YIELD COMPONENTS AND OIL QUALITY IN SOME CAMELINA (Camelina sativa(L.) Crantz) GENOTYPES

Duran KATAR , Yusuf ARSLAN , Ilhan SUBAŞI

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine performance of different false flax (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) genotypes (Vinimik 17, PI304269, CR 476/65, CR 1674/90, Ames 26665, Ames 26667, Ames 26673, Ames 26676, Ames 26680, Ames 26686 and Ames 28372) in terms of the plant height, the branch number, 1000 seed weight, the seed yield, oil content, oil yield and fatty acid components. Results showed that having highest seed yield, and oil yield, Vinimik 17, Ames 26665, Ames 26667 and Ames 26673 could be suggested to be used as oil crops for oil industry or as medicine plant. Having low saturated fat content this crop seems quality edible oil. Though genotypes are higher in erucic acid than 2% (maximum limit for canola quality edible oil), Genotypes having less erucic acid content should be developed by breeding programs/biotechnology.

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.
