Advantages of horticulture being the area looks beautiful, it reduces pollution, green trees improve health and minimize diseases. Water quenches thirst but excess water can destroy the crop. Although much of the world’s surface is water, it is not fit for domestic use and water needs to be treated by desalination plants. Growing of grains may require large fields but growing vegetables, fruits and flowers in the backyard does not require large areas. Irrigation is one of the applications of hydrology while soil science relates to geotechnical engineering. Water is the daily need of human beings besides that of animals and plants, while both human beings and animals rely mainly on plants. Plants utilize water supply from rivers and rain. Both surface water and underground water table and fertile soil are required. Especially, in third world countries with large populations, food supply is a daily problem. Without abundant supply of grains such as rice, wheat and pulses famines may result. Vegetables and fruits supplement them as regular part of meals.","PeriodicalId":131171,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal ","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125135634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hochst is a deciduous dry-land tree species which belongs to the family Burseraceae. The family is distinguished by the presence of resin ducts in the bark and production of aromatic oils and resins. It is geographically distributed in drier parts of Africa from Nigeria in the west to Eritrea and Ethiopia in the East, being dominant in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia.2 It is a multipurpose tree species with diverse socioeconomic and ecological importance. Almost all parts of the tree are used for different purposes. Its wood is used for pole and timber locally. It is the source of frankincense (gum olibanum) tapped for cash income and local uses. The leaves and seeds of B. papyrifera are highly valued as dry season fodder for goats, camels and other livestock.3,4 The sweet smelling flowers, that appears when the tree fell its leaves, are important sources of nectar for honey bees.

Turkish fresh fruit and vegetable sub-sector has an important role because of its employment capacity. Approximately 5 million people work in that sector at various levels such as production, processing and marketing area. Also, fruit and vegetables sector is an important supply sector for processing and export industry and it is an important sector that creates demand for fertilizers, feed and pesticides besides fuel and electricity inputs. The limited amount of arable land available in the world is an important issue in terms of providing adequate and balanced nutrition. Production and consumption of fruits and vegetables is of great importance for the solution of balanced nutrition problems. Turkey is quite an important country for fresh fruit and vegetable production in terms of its geographical location, climate and soil properties. Almost every season and in every region of Turkey, fruit and vegetable production is possible. However, certain regions are taking more interest in producing these products.

Besides its application in aromatic industries, some valuable characteristics of rose oil such as anti-HIV, antibacterial and antioxidant activities have been demonstrated recently.4,5 Essential oil is a complex trait, which is depended on yield components and is influenced by many genetic as well as environmental factors. Therefore evaluating of genotypes potential in different environments (location and years) is the important step in breeding programs of Damask rose before selecting desirable ones to commercial cultivation. A desirable landrace is one that does not only essential oil well in its area of initial selection but also maintains the high yielding ability over a wide range of environments. To identify such genotypes stability analysis is a good technique that measures the adaptability of different crop varieties to varying environments.6 Since, the literature on the effects of genotype environment compatibility and stability are low in Rosa damascena, inevitably, should refer to the methods used in similar plants. Eberhart & Russell1 model has widely used for evaluating of yield stability in both annual and perennial plants same as Campanula rapunculoides,7 Hevea brasiliensis8,9 and Thea sp10 Eberhart & Russell1 considered a stable genotype to have a slope (b value) equal to unity and deviation from regression (Sd) equal to zero. Freeman11 and Bernardo12 described the Eberhart & Russell1 model as the most widely used methods for evaluating of yield stability among main classical parametric methods that determine general and specific dynamic stability (adaptability) and measures linear and nonlinear components of stability. Furthermore, multivariate methods of stability such as AMMI, while statistically more complex, despite of widely uses in annual plants, has no advantages over the conventional methods in perennial crops and forest trees and its application is limited.13,14 We were also interested to know the contribution of each genotype in genotype×environmen (GE) interaction sum of squares. To do this, there are two stability parameters of Wricke’s15 ecovalence (Wi) and Shukla’s 2 stability variance (σi 2) which give the same results for ranking genotypes.16 Shukla2 the stablility variance of genotype as its variance across invironments after the main effects of environmental means have been removed. He used stability variance (σi 2) to estimate a component of the GE interaction corresponding to each genotype. According to his model, genotypes with a low σi 2 have smaller deviations from the mean across environments and thus more stable. A significant departure of a genotype’s regression coefficient from zero will be indicated by a large stability variance.

Strawberry fruits also has shown antioxidant and anti-cancer properties by inhibiting production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and carcinogens reduction.4–6 The diversity and high properties value of its compounds make strawberry a very attractive fruit for studying. Wild strawberry species as genetic resources are valued by breeders to produce new varieties with novel traits that are more productive, more nutritious, more market-friendly and more resistant to biotic (viruses, fungi, bacteria, weeds, insects and pests) and abiotic (drought, salinity, cold, heat) stresses. There are several systems such as morphological, chemical, and biochemical markers for evaluating diversity levels in plants. But these systems of classification are influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, light and/or plants ages which can modify results of classification. While, DNA-based marker systems provide a reliable and powerful tools for assessing differences between organisms with simultaneous elimination of the other systems constraints and are increasingly used in breeding programs and germplasm management of many horticultural crops. Several PCR (polymerase chain reaction)based DNA marker systems including RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA), AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) and SSRs (simple sequence repeats or microsatellites) are available for genetic assessment,7 but each of the methods have some limitations: low primer annealing temperature and reproducibility for RAPD, requirement for prior sequence information from flanking regions to develop primers for SSR and high experiment costs for AFLP. ISSR marker is a cheap, fast and simple genotyping technique based DNA that requires small amounts of DNA template.8 This marker is more reliable than RAPD because of longer length of primers and high annealing temperature and ISSR does not requires any prior sequence information. ISSR marker uses a single primer targeting microsatellite motifs that generates abundant polymorphic bands with a reliable and reproducible banding patterns in many systems.7,9,10 ISSR marker has been used successfully to assess genetic variation in a vast range of plants and horticultural crops including blueberry,11 lingo berry,12 citrus,13 potato,14 Oryza15 and described as a powerful technique to assess genetic diversity to detect similarities between and within species levels.
