Abstract

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker system was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 38 common bean landraces grown in Northern Anatolia Region and their relationship to twelve nationally registered cultivars. A total of 72 DNA fragments across all materials were scored using 30 primers pairs. More than 97% of the amplification products showed polymorphism, indicating high variation at the DNA level among these accessions. Pair-wise genetic similarity ranged from 0.218 to 0.759, with a mean of 0.585. Based on the SSR markers, two major clusters were formed of 50 genotypes investigated. A majority of the commercial cultivars (66.6%) and landrace accessions (84.2%) were clustered into second group, whereas, small portion of commercial cultivars (33.4%) and landrace accessions (15.7%) were clustered in to first group. A Mantel's test showed significant correlation between SSR distance matrix and cophenetic matrices. Considerable variation existed within the genotypes collected from Northeast Anatolia Region and registered cultivars that can be exploited for breeding programs.

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.
