LINKAGE MAPPING OF CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE-4 FAMILY IN LENTIL GENOME

Duygu Ates

Abstract

Plant carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the carotenoids oxidative cleavage and apocarotenoids and also play a crucial role in plant development and growth. CDD4 is a member of CDDs. It has two isoforms as CCD4a and CCD4b and they encode enzymes to catalyze the cleavage of carotenoids forming pigment compounds and aroma. In this study, CDD4 genes were mapped for the first time in the linkage group of lentil. CsCCD4af was located at 102.3 cM on linkage group 3 (LG3). CCD4-P-r1-1 and CCD4-P-r1-2 were located at 75.5 cM and 82.9 cM on LG3, respectively. CCD4-P-r1-3 was located at 151.6 cM on LG5. CsCCD4a/b-r was amplified but could not mapped due to its monomorphic band profile between parents. Location of these genes on the linkage map of lentil will help breeders improve strategies in order to generating new cultivars with higher carotenoid concentration.

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.
