PHENO-MORPHOLOGICAL AND AGRONOMIC DIVERSITY IN A COLLECTION OF WILD AND DOMESTICATED SPECIES OF THE GENUS LUPINUS

Dariusz ZALEWSKI, Renata GALEK , Bartosz KOZAK, Ewa SAWICKA-SIENKIEWICZ

Abstract

The aim of this study was evaluated variability in collection of 20 genotypes represented eight domesticated and wild species of genus Lupinus. Analyses were made using multi-dimensional assessment based on twenty simultaneously considered characters from three years fields experiment. The cluster analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed for illustrated diversity among investigated genotypes. The first three principal components contributed for 75.8% of the overall multi-trait variability in the means of all analyzed characters. The first principal component was found to account for 38.4% of the variability. The phenological phases and the height of a plant had the greatest contribution to this particular component. The second principal component accounted for 23.3% of the diversity regarding the number of pods from a lateral stem and emergence. On the other hand, the number of pods from the main stem and 1000-seed weight constituted traits the strongest linked with the third principal component, which accounted for 14.1% of the diversity. The obtained results will be helpful to define a strategy in the future lupin breeding programs.

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.
