Abstract

Low temperature is one of the most important abiotic stresses limiting wheat growth and productivity. Selection for complex genetic traits, such as freezing resistance, can simplify the plant breeding programs when related markers are identified and present in the breeding lines. In the present study, ten improved bread wheat lines were assessed for freezing resistance based on LT50 measurement. Randomized complete block design with three replications were used. Four types of seed proteins: high molecular weight glutenin, low molecular weight glutenin, gliadin and some water-salt soluble proteins were evaluated by SDS-PAG..Our results showed significant differences between studied lines in respect with LT50. Some relationships were also seen between protein subunits and freezing resistance. In addition, significant increase in proline accumulation in leaf tissue of LT-tolerant cultivars was seen during cold acclimation. This may be used as a biochemical marker to identify resistant cultivars.

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.
