EVALUATION OF BARLEY GENOTYPES CARRYING lys 3a- GENE FOR AGRONOMIC CHARACTERS UNDER LOW-AND HIGH-RAINFALL ENVIROMENTS
M. I. ÇAĞIRGAN & C. TOKER
Abstract
In this study the parent lines carrying the lys 3a gene for high lysine, the parent variety, Bomi and the local check, Quantum were evaluated for biologic and plot grain yield harvest index, 1000-grain weight, number of kernels per spike and number of fertile spike in low-and highrainfall environments. According to the obtained results, Ca 533605 line outyielded the check variety in the locrainfall environmet was good at yielding as good as the check cultivar, Quantum.

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.
