ReTain (15% aminoethoxyvinilglycine, AVG) is a plant growth regulator used to control pre-harvest drop and increase fruit weight and firmness. The objective of this study was to determine the responses of AVG treatments on the preharvest drop and fruit quality of ‘Williams’ pear. Pear trees of the cultivar ‘Williams’ were sprayed 30, 21 and 7 days before commercial harvest (DBH) with AVG, at doses of 100, 125 and 150 mg L-1, and assessed for pre-harvest drop, yield, maturity, delay in harvest, fruit quality, ethylene production and respiration rate at the harvest time. Fruit samples were analyzed for fruit quality parameters which are: fruit width, fruit weight, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), fruit firmness, fruit colour, fruit macro and micro elements content. Maturation of the 30 and 21 DBH AVG-treated fruits were delayed 3-4 days compared to the 7 DBH AVG-treated and control groups. The pre-harvest drop decreased with all AVG applications by approximately 38-100% in comparison with the control group fruits. AVG treatments increased fruit size (7-10%), fruit weight (26-41%) and fruit firmness (2-16%) of ‘Williams’ pear. AVG application reduce ethylene production and respiration rate and it was found that the applications enhance the ethylene production and respiration rate by approximately (100%) compared to the control fruits on the harvest date. Results of this study indicated that 30 DBH and 21 DBH AVG-treatments at 100 mg L-1 can be recommended for ‘Williams’ pear cultivar on both pre-harvest fruit drop, as well as in harvest date and fruit quality.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"559 1","pages":"344-356"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77760142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the effects of pre-sowing seed treatment with melatonin on germination and emergence performance of pepper seeds under chilling conditions were investigated. Seeds were immersed in 0, 1, 5, 10 or 25 µM melatonin solutions for 24 hours after which they were dried for one day and subjected to germination and emergence tests at optimum and chilling stress conditions. Exogenous melatonin treatment promoted pepper seed germination and emergence under chilling conditions. Treatment of seeds with melatonin especially in 1 or 5 µM concentrations significantly improved germination and emergence percentage and rate whereas dry seeds and seeds treated with 0 µM melatonin exhibited the lowest germination and emergence performance. Melatonin application also reduced the MDA and H 2 O 2 content and elevated SOD and CAT enzyme activity. The improvement in germination and emergence performance of pepper under chilling stress conditions following melatonin treatment may therefore be due to reduced lipid peroxidation and elevated activities of antioxidant enzymes.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"160 1","pages":"167-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74879337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, 181 lentil advanced lines (F7 generation) of Karacadag x Silvan and Karacadag x Cagil 2004 crosses were evaluated for grain yield, yield components and seed mineral concentrations in two diverse environments in Turkey. Considerable diversity was observed with regard to yield components and seed mineral concentrations in the advanced lentil lines. The greatest phenotypic diversity was observed in the biological yield, number of pods and weight of pods per plant, the number of seeds and weight of seeds per plant, and seed Ca, Zn and Fe concentrations. Grain yield per plant was significantly positively correlated with the biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant, weight of pods per plant, and number of seeds per plant. Plant grain yield and yield components were strongly positively correlated with seed potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) concentrations but was negatively correlated with Fe concentration. In conclusion, promising lentil advanced lines for the grain yield, yield components and mineral concentrations could be evaluated for developing new lentil varieties and spesific breeding purposes.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"213-222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85083837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heat shock proteins accumulate in plants under water stress to protect the biochemical and physiological processes at the molecular level. In this study, plants of T2 segregating generation of transgenic cotton, containing small heat shock protein gene (GHSP26) was compared with wild type plants for biochemical, physiological and molecular responses under different periods of drought stress. Transgenic plants accumulated 30% higher proline content than the wild type. Lipid peroxidation activity was reduced in transgenic plants which showed that the drought tolerance efficiency has been improved. Leaf relative water content was 69% and 45% in transgenic and wild-type plants, respectively at 10-day drought stress. Similarly, transgenic plants showed better performance for photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and osmotic potential as compared to wild type. Real-time quantitative PCR of GHSP26 and some other drought responsive genes such as Gh-POD, Gh-RuBisCO, Gh-LHCP PSII, Gh-PIP, Gh-TPS and Gh-LEA have supported the higher expression and proved drought tolerance in transgenic plants. The overexpression of GHSP26 in transgenic plants improved the biochemical such as proline content and lipid peroxidation activity and physiological parameters like photosynthesis, osmotic potential and water related attributes. Hence, this study may be extended for selection of homozygous lines and breeding to improve the drought tolerance activity in plants.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"59 1","pages":"157-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78165902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
