The study was designed as a factorial arrangement in randomized block design with four replications. After soil analysis of the study areas, K and Mg-fertilizers were applied at sowing. The results showed that the K applications alone could increase the nutrient concentrations of the leaves, and synergic relations were found between K and P, Fe, or Zn. Synergic relations were also found between Mg and P or Fe. Generally, combined applications of K and Mg resulted in higher nutrient concentrations in the leaves by ameliorating the antagonistic effect of poor soil K-Ca-Mg ionic balances. The leaf nutrient concentrations were generally higher in the first year (2009) than that of the experiment than in the second year (2010).","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":"606-616"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90239338","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 the evaluation of saline soils, growing of salt tolerant or resistant plants is recently a widespread implementation. The aim of this study was to compare some yield and nutritional properties of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), sainfoin (Onobrychis sativa Lam.) and bird’s foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) species cultivated in extreme saline-soil (9.80 EC dS m-1) and non-saline soil (0.43 EC dS m-1) conditions. For this purpose, this research was conducted in randomized blocks design with three replications on the Igdir Plain, located in eastern Turkey, between the years of 2011-2013. Plants were sown under irrigable conditions in 2011, and data were obtained from the examined plants during three years including the year of sowing. In the study, leaf area index (LAI), crude protein (CP), fresh hay and hay yields differed significantly (P<0.01) in terms of species x soil type x year interaction. In respect to plant height, all the paired interactions, but only soil type x year interaction in terms of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were found statistically significant. According to these results, maximum fresh hay yields and LAI were obtained from alfalfa grown on non-saline soils in the maintenance years (2012-2013), and maximum hay yields were determined again in alfalfa grown on non-saline soils for each of the three years and also on saline soil in 2012. However, minimum fresh hay and hay yields were measured under saline soil conditions in the establishing year for each of the three species. Maximum and minimum CP contents were found in alfalfa and sainfoin grown on saline soil conditions in the establishing year (2011), respectively. Along with changing as per species, plant heights increased in the years following the establishing year, but decreased on saline soil compared to non-saline soil. In respect of NDF content, the highest values were determined under non saline-soils in 2012, and the lowest ones were obtained from saline soil conditions in 2011 and 2013. As conclusion, it was determined that all species can easily grow without too much yield and quality loss in salt-affected areas and can provide enough forage production for livestock feding.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"62 1","pages":"528-538"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86795600","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}

These responses include: changes in membrane composition, production of small molecules and free radicals, and alterations in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and their gene expressions. For this reason, lipid peroxidation levels (MDA), catalase enzyme activity, and gene expression profiles, quantified by real-time PCR, were analyzed in tomato plants exposed to various concentrations (0, 80, 160, 320, 640 and 1280 μM) of Cd2+ and Pb2+. All concentration of Cd+2 or Pb+2 contamination led to increased lipid peroxidation and catalase enzyme activity, except for 320 and 640 μM Cd+2 contamination levels. As a result, gene expression patterns at the mRNA level and changes in MDA content under different concentrations of Pb+2 and Cd+2 contamination revealed a positive correlation, although no correlation was found between gene expression patterns at the mRNA level and catalase enzyme activity. These results might be explained by the regulation of genes at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and also translational or posttranslational levels.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"68 1","pages":"539-547"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86060900","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}

The biggest obstacle in the development of this plant, production having the most economic value as one of the medicinal and aromatic plants, is the insufficient bulbous used for propagation. Bacterial isolates showing capacity to grow in nitrogen-free conditions, for hormones production (IAA, GA3) and to solubilise phosphate as microbial fertilizer were used to reproduce the corms of saffron plants. Thus, the disappearance of saffron from the species that are under threat of extinction can be prevented and the continuation of the species can be provided by its widespread propagation as an ornamental plant. In this study, a total of ten treatments; (1) Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain TV-42A, (2) Brevibacillus choshinensis strain TV-53D, (3) Myroides odoratus strain TV-85C, (4) Bacillus megaterium strain TV-87A, (5) Colwellia psycrerytreae strain TV-108G, (6) Kluyvera cryocrescens strain TV-113C and (7) Bacillus GC group B strain TV119E, (8) Control (untreated bacteria or hormones) (9) Control 2 [100 mg L-1 IBA (indole-3 butyric acid)] and (10) Control 3 [100 mg L-1 GA3 (gibberellic acid)] were tested to see their effects on the plant growth and development parameters of saffron. The number of cormlet, average cormlet diameter (mm), cormlet length (mm), cormlet weight (g), macro and micro plant nutrients (N, K, P, Mg, S, Ca, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, B and Cd) contents of corms were determined in greenhouse assays. Some of the bacterial applications gave growth and yields of saffron equal to or higher than the hormones applied.
