INDUCTION AND INHERITANCE OF COMPOUND LEAF AND CONE STIPULE IN THE CULTIVATED CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)

Cengiz TOKER, Fatma Oncu CEYLAN

Abstract

The cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) has multipinnate, simple and normal leaves, caused by mutations. About 1500 air-dried seeds (500 seeds per dose) of chickpea genotype ICC 6119 were irradiated with 200, 300 and 400 Gy gamma rays. Two new induced characteristics, compound leaf and cone stipule on internodes, were isolated in a single mutant chickpea in the M3 generation. Inheritance of the new characteristics was studied in the segregating populations of the M4 and the results indicated that the new characteristics were governed by two recessive genes designed as clcl and cscs symbols. These characteristics could be linked since they were jointly segregated. The new genes identified may be useful for gene mapping of Cicer species.

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.
