BREEDING NEW TOBACCO LINES FOR THE AEGEAN REGION THROUGH ANTHER CULTURE(*)
Amir F. Moghaddam , Ülkü Emiroğlu
Abstract
Six Aegean tobacco genotypes were crossed and the anthers of the F, plants were cultured. Haploid plantlets were produced and they were treated with Acenaphthene for chromosome doubling. One hundred dihaploid lines obtained were grown in progeny rows in 1995. Twenty eight dihaploid lines shared statistically the same group with the high yielding cultivar Karabağlar 6265 for cured leaf yield. Twenty five dihaploid lines were statistically in the same group with Ege 64 which had the highest total reducing sugar content.

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.
