Determination of Salt Tolerance Levels of Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Genotypes Grown in Van Lake Basin
(Centenary University, 2016) Kipçak, S.; Erdinç, Ç.
In this study, the reactions of some bean genotypes collected from Lake Van Basin to different salt concentrations were examined. For this, 20 bean genotypes were subjected to salt stress (NaCl), 25 mM and 50 mM concentration. For determination of salt resistance in bean genotypes 0-5 scale, the percentage of salt tolerance, shoot-root fresh and dry weight, contents and rate of nutrients (K, Ca, Na, K/Na, and Ca/Na) in shoots. At the end of study, it was determined that common bean genotypes had a high variation in point of response to salt stress. In this variation, G30, G67 and G75 were assigned as tolerance to salt stress, G2, G71, G78 and G94 genotypes were susceptible. © 2016, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
The Effects of Amf, Whey and Humic Acid Applications on Plant Growth, Yield and Quality in Different Cucurbit Species Under Open Field Conditions
(Centenary University, 2016) Ekincialp, A.; Erdinç, Ç.; Eser, F.; Demir, S.; Şensoy, S.
This study was carried out to assess the effects of two different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF), humic acid (HA) and whey applications on various plant and yield characteristics in melon (Magnum-F1), watermelon (Wonder-F1) and summer squash (Focus-F1) species. At trials implemented in the field, 5 different applications [1-) Control, 2-) AMF, 3-) AMF+Whey, 4-) AMF + HA, and 5-) AMF + Whey + HA] were applied at 4 replications according to randomized block design for all three types of vegetables species. The applications on melon were significant for average yield (28 430 - 41 240 kg ha-1) and average branch length. The applications were significant on watermelon in terms of average yield (51 460-86 580 kg ha-1), average branch length (124.75-165.75 cm), fruit pedicle length; and on summer squash in terms of average yield (27 660-34 540 kg ha-1), TSSC (8.99-10.25 brixº), and weight of fresh leaves. It was observed that the 5th and 4th applications were more superior to the others. According to average yield, especially, the fifth application had the highest mean for all three species. © 2016, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
Morphological Characterization of A. Vineale
(Centenary University, 2021) Çakmakci, Ö.; Şensoy, S.; Alan, A.R.; Erdinç, Ç.
Allium vineale L. is a wild edible Allium species. This species is collected from nature by the local people in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and consumed as a vegetable. Aboveground organs of A. vineale plants are used in herbed cheese production in the eastern provinces. Collection from nature is not a sustainable way production of this species. A. vineale can be propagated via seeds and bulbils. It is suitable for cultivation under field and protected conditions. For agricultural production of this species, new cultivars with improved yield and quality traits have to be developed. In this study, an A. vineale germplasm was created with the aim of developing new cultivars that can be used in herbed cheese production. The accessions included in the germplasm were characterized for desired traits such as adaptability to culture conditions, agronomic characteristics and harvest uniformity. The phenotypic diversity of A. vineale accessions were examined using morphological descriptors derived from International Union for the protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). According to the clustering and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) made by evaluation of the morphological features, the accessions were divided into two main groups based on the locations. Germplasm accessions differ from each other for leaf waxiness and color intensity. A. vineale can be distinguished from other Alliums present in the same area with thin leaves, short plant height, and multiple bulbils in the flower scapes. © 2021, Centenary University.
