The soil was treated with five levels of Cd (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg kg-1). Except for the tomato, the shoot and root dry biomass decreased with increasing Cd. Plant growth, bioaccumulation and translocation of Cd and accumulation of metal nutrient ions [potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)] were investigated. On the basis of the percent reductions in the shoot dry biomass, the tomato was determined to be Cd-tolerant, and the other plants Cd-sensitive. The shoot and root Cd contents, uptakes, and total accumulation rate (TAR) were increased with increasing rate of Cd applied, except for the shoot Cd content and root uptake of the goldenberry. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) and the translocation factor (TF) of Cd diminished at all plants, with the exception of the TF for tomato. With respect to Cd translocation, plant species showed a ranking as follows: goldenberry <pepper<eggplant<tomato. The accumulation of all metal nutrient ions increased with Cd applications in the goldenberry shoots. While the accumulation of divalent metal nutrient ions, except for Zn and Cu, increased for the pepper and eggplant, the accumulation of K as monovalent metal nutrient ion decreased for only the pepper.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"576-587"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84998611","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 objectives of this study were to identify, characterize and the examination of the association between silent SNP (rs41961336; CaT) within exon 7 of bovine IGF1R gene and growth traits. A total of 672 cows of four breeds was genotyped using the Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. A TaiI restriction endonuclease was used. Among all breeds under study (Polish Holstein Friesian, Angus, Hereford, Limousine), the presence of all three genotypes was observed only for the Angus breed. The CC genotype was the most frequent in all investigated breeds (0.7987-0.9904) followed by CT (0.0096-0.1946). Only Angus cows were selected for association analysis. At weaning weight adjusted to 210 days of age (WWT210), statistically significant differences (P≤0.05) were shown female calves with the CC genotype were heavier (+5.5 kg) than the individuals with the CT genotype. However, individuals carrying the CT genotype had significantly higher body weight at first calving (+10.62 kg; P≤0.05).

In this study, the aim was to harvest Hurma olives from different locations of the Karaburun peninsula in order to determine the nutritional value. For this purpose, measurements were carried out on samples in order to determine their oil (%), protein (%), total sugars (%), reduced sugar (%), starch (%), energy (kcal 100 g-1), pH, total phenolic compound (mg cafeic acid equivalent (CAE) 100 g-1), mineral element (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B) contents. Besides, new harvested Hurma olives and dry salted ones stored for 1 year, that had been collected from three different locations of the peninsula, were compared in terms of some chemical properties. Hurma olives were determined to have 38.63% oil, 1.2% protein, 0.52% total sugar, 1.24% starch and the pH value of 5.52. They are regarded as a good source of energy due to the considerably higher oil (359.8 kcal 100 g-1), phenolic compounds (288.71 mg CAE 100 g-1) and mineral element content. It was found out that Hurma olives had high values in terms of mineral element content (N 0.57%, P 0.12%, K 1.42%, Ca 0.09%, Mg 0.04%, Fe 61.44 mg kg-1, Mn 5.23 mg kg-1, Zn 6.40 mg kg-1, Cu 5.53 mg kg-1, B 21.27 mg kg-1) as well. The effects of the salt applications on phenolic compound and reduced sugar content of the olive samples was found statistically insignificant (P>0.05). According to the results obtained, the consumption of Hurma olive might be considered to be beneficial for human health due to its salt-free composition, nutritive compounds, total phenolic compound content and the amount of energy it provides.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":"471-479"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89393970","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 water resources of Golbasi district are under the pressure of urbanization and agricultural activities. In recent years, the demand for groundwater has increased, however accesibility is limited by the quantity and quality of water. This study aims to evaluate the irrigation water quality in Golbasi SEPA. A total of 41 water samples were collected from existing wells and fountains in 11 villages of Golbasi SEPA and analyzed for relevant quality parameters to assess their conformity with irrigation water quality standards. Analysis of samples led to classification of samples into 19 groups with common characteristics. Among them, 20 samples in Group 1-5 had salinity and alkalinity class of C2-S1, and they had the best water quality. On the other hand, 15 samples in Groups 6-14 had salinity and alkalinity class of C3-S1. Since these waters have high level of salt, leaching and special soil tillage is required to avoid salinity problem on the long-term. Yield reduction up to 10-25% may be experienced with alfalfa and corn. Among the samples, only 6 waters had salinity class of C4, and alkalinity of S1, S2 or S4. These waters are not suitable for irrigation under normal conditions. In special cases, they can be used if salt resistant plants are selected, where drainage is good and excess leaching is applied. Land reclamation may be required on the long term. Yield reduction up to 25-50% may be experienced with alfalfa and corn due to salinity.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"408-421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81743328","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}
