Three replications in a split-plot randomized complete block design were used in the experiment. The treatments included three irrigation levels (100, 80, and 60% of the recommended irrigation) in cases 12, 10, and 7 irrigations were applied and given at an average interval of 15, 18, and 26 days, which were randomly in the main plots, while, three anti-transpirant substances (Chitosan, Glycerol, and Magnesium carbonate), as well as water-sprayed plants (control) were placed in subplots randomly. Plant growth, chlorophyll, relative water content, cell membrane stability index, sugar production, and quality index were all lowered by drought stress in both seasons. Furthermore, under drought conditions, proline, free radical scavenging activity, and sucrose levels all increased significantly. In both seasons, the application of anti-transpiration substances had a substantial effect on improving the examined features when compared to the control. Foliar spray of chitosan or glycerol had a beneficial effect on physiological, morphological, and quality characteristics of the examined plants, compared to the control treatment. Generally, anti-transpirants reduced water use and increased water production in general when irrigation water was scarce. Furthermore, spraying anti-transpirants, which were responsible for lowering water use, considerably enhanced most of the growth and yield measures as well as quality.","PeriodicalId":51685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central European Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70972529","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}

The effect of biological preparations based on strains of Trichoderma viride and Gliocladium virens antagonistic fungi on the development of Fusarium root rot, nematodes and yield of cucumbers was studied. The results of the experiment show that when cucumbers are grown after the precursor pepper and lettuce, the development of Fusarium root rot and nematodes does not exceed critical values. The introduction of Trichoderma and Gliocladium fungi into the soil in the form of a dry preparation with a titre 2.0 x 10 10 conidia/g when transplanting plants to a permanent place at a consumption rate of 40 kg/ha increases the yield of greenhouse cucumbers by 20-23%.

The obtained results give basis to assume that the glycogen reserve of the pectoral muscle can be associated with the productive type, which was the highest in quails of the meat type line WG (ΔрН=-0.573±0.053 compared to ΔрН=- 0.299±0.059 in egg-laying line А, P <0.001). In the process of storing quail meat during the first 24 hours the values of the three color coordinates increased by an average of 12.5% for lightness, 16.4% for redness and 42% for yellowing of the meat. The pigment saturation of M. pectoralis superficialis largely depends on the productive type of birds, which determined 15.9% of the variance of the trait ( P <0.05). It was the highest in quail eggs, and the stability of their color characteristics during the first 24 hours was the highest, which makes the visual perception of color in them closer to game meat. Higher crude protein content ( P <0.001), lower fat ( P <0.001) and gross energy ( P <0.05) in M. pectoralis superficialis in meat type birds, compared to egg-laying quails, makes their breast meat more dietary and more in line with consumer preferences. The content of essential amino acids in quail meat fully meets the needs of the human body, and the content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids covers approximately 2/3 of the needs.","PeriodicalId":51685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central European Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70974971","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}

This research was conducted for two successive seasons (2020 - 2021 and 2021 - 2022) to study the influence of planting method and corm depth on the dry stigma and generative corm yield of saffron. The experiment was a factorial combination of two planting methods (ridge and flat) and three corm depths (10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm), laid out as a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Results revealed that dry sigma yield (DSY) and generative corm yield (GCY) were significantly influenced by the main and interaction effects of planting method and corm depth. In flat cultivation, both DSY and GCY were considerably higher than the ridge method in both years. In the case of corm depth, 15 cm and 20 cm produced the highest DSY. The interaction effects showed that the flat method in 15cm corm depth produced more DSY and GCY. Moreover, a strong positive correlation was obtained among the days to flowering (DTF) and flowering interval days (FID) first year, the number of flowers (NF) and DSY in both years and among the DSY and the number of generative corms (> 8 g). Hence, the flat method and 15 cm corm depth are recommended for optimum yield in the study area.","PeriodicalId":51685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central European Agriculture","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135699205","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}

The present study addresses the use of inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to estimate genetic diversity within and between two different mulberry species (49 genotypes of Morus nigra cultivar. El-Shami) and (8 genotypes of Morus alba) from different regions of Syria (Al-Qunaitra, Tartus and Latakia). Fifteen ISSR primers and six SSR primer pairs were used in the analysis. Overall, genetic diversity within M. alba and M. nigra was low (0.22). The genetic distance between the two species (M. nigra and M. alba) was higher (0.72) than that within the species (0.3). A dendrogram based on SSR and ISSR results showed the clustering of samples according to the species and to their geographic collection sites. The level of polymorphism detected between samples using the ISSR marker (90.31%) was higher than that detected with SSR marker (68.05%). The genotypes collected from Al-Qunaitra were very similar as the coefficient of genetic distance -CGD- was less than 0.1, while genotypes from Latakia were more distant (CGD is 0.33). In general, the level of genetic diversity between the analyzed genotypes of M. nigra cv.
