HERITABILITY, CORRELATION AND GENOTYPE X YEAR INTERACTIONS Of GRAIN YIELD, TEST WEIGHT AND PROTEIN CONTENT IN DURUM WHEATS

Necdet BUDAK

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative genotype x environment interactions and heritabilities of test weight and grain yield and to estimate the correlations among the yield and quality components in durum wheat. Twelve durum wheats (2737/DF17-72//Berillo, 97/mbvd-11, 97/mbvd-3, BÇU Santa, Bintepe, D5171/1. DCT-17, DCT-22, Es/96/mbvd-9, Kk/3/Lds//Kobak. Kunduru and Salihli-92) were grown in four planting seasons from 1996 to 2000 at Bornova location of Izmir according to a randomized complete block design. A combined analysis of variance indicated that years and genotypes were significantly different for grain yield. protein content and test weight and genotype x year interaction was insignificant only for test weight. Broad-sense heritabilities of grain yield. protein content and test weight were 0.67. 0.64 and 0.29. respectively. Grain yield had a positive significant correlation (r=0.31**) with thousand kernel weight which had a significant correlation (r=0.27**) with test weight. Protein content had negative significant correlations (r=-0.30) with grain yield and (r=-0.26**) with thousand kernel weight while it had a positive significant correlation (r=0.48**) with vitreousness.

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.
