Researches on General and Specific Combining Ability of Yield and Some Traits of the Hybrids of Selected Poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) Lines

Ahmet Gümüşçü, Neşet Arslan

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine general and specific combining ability in comparison with some selected lines which was studied on domestic poppy materials of our country and their parents after they crossed each other. In conformity with this will be determined which parent or hybrid lines would cultivate widespread in whole country. Thus, it was tought that this variety could utilize in other poppy cultivating regions when in any region was breeded a good performance variety. Some obtained data in the end of the study were from general combining ability; the highest value of plant height with 1.83 by parent 1, the lowest value with - 2.08 by parent 4; the highest value of the capsule number per plant with 0.27 by parent 7, the lowest value with -0.28 by parent 1; the highest value of the stigma number in the capsule with 0.21 by parent 33, the lowest value with -0.57 by parent 4; the highest value of the capsule yield per plant with 0.57 by parent 5, the lowest value with -0.73 by parent 1; the highest value of the seed yield per plant with 1.00 by parent 6, the lowest value with -1.08 by parent 2; the highest value of the capsule yield per decare with 6.62 by parent 5, the lowest value with -8.13 by parent 2; the highest value of the seed yield per decare with 8.09 by parent 4 and the lowest value with -10.16 by parent 2.

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.
