However, these methods are laborious, time consuming, and require special equipment. In this study, the reliability of stomatal characteristics in confirming the ploidy level was investigated in haploid and spontaneous double haploid (SDH) pepper and eggplant plants. Stomatal characteristics were measured using a digital camera and related software from light microscope images in 100 samples at each ploidy level. Stomatal density, guard cell width and length were measured in random fields of view, and chloroplasts were counted. Mean stomatal lengths were determined as 28.34 µm and 40.39 µm, and mean stomatal widths were determined as 22.52 µm and 29.50 µm respectively for haploid and SDH plants in pepper. The stomatal density was 10.71 in haploid and 27.07 in SDH. Average stomatal lengths were determined as 22.32 µm and 32.00 µm, and mean stomatal widths were determined as 17.36 µm and 22.32 µm, respectively, in haploid and SDH eggplant. The stomatal density of eggplants were found to be 29.20 in haploid plants and 12.61 in SDHs. Chloroplast numbers in guard cells of SDH plants were determined to be 2 fold more than haploids. In haploid and SDH peppers 9.93 and 18.66 chloroplasts were counted, respectively, and 6.39 and 11.19 chloroplasts were counted in eggplants, respectively. There were positive relationships between stomatal size and chloroplast number and ploidy level, and negative relationships between stomatal density and ploidy level, which can be presented as an early marker to determination ploidy levels in both species.

Four genotypes were selected from landraces in Sanliurfa province (U-4-10, U-64-16, U-2-29, and U-1172) and the other genotypes were provided by the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC). The field experiment was designed to yield three temperature regimes; optimum (OT, 28/21°C day/night), moderate high (MHT, 32/22°C day/night) and high (HT, 37/27°C day/night) by transplanting the seedlings at different time intervals. The parameters of seeded fruit (SF), parthenocarpic (seedless), fruit (PF), undeveloped flower (UF), and aborted flower (AF) were used to evaluate flower and fruit development. The HT regime resulted in dramatic decreases in seeded fruit and increases in parthenocarpic fruit, undeveloped flower and flower abortion. The results showed that four domestic tomato genotypes (U-4-10, U-64-16, U-2-29, and U-117-2) could be valuable source of he...

Despite the routine use of anther culture in peppers, there are still many bottlenecks and improvements in methodology are required. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the structure of the nutrient medium (semi-solid and double layer) and the addition of biotin and ascorbic acid to the nutrient media on obtaining haploid embryos by anther culture method. MS (Murashige and Skoog 1962) medium containing 4 mg l-1 NAA, 0.1 mg l-1 BAP, 0.25% activated charcoal, 30 g l-1 sucrose, and 10 mg l-1 AgNO3 (silver nitrate) were used as the basal nutrient medium. A total of 8 nutrient media compounds were studied using 0.05 mg l-1 biotin and 0.5 mg l-1 ascorbic acid separately or together in semi-solid and bi-layer (double-phase) nutrient media. Solidification of nutrient media was achieved with 7 g 1-1 agar. The cultured anthers were sub...

Under certain stress conditions, the developmental pathway of microspores can be transformed into an embryo instead of pollen with haploid technology. In this experiment, 2 pepper breeding lines (G-1 and G-2) and 4 nutrient media formed with Murashige & Skoog (1962-MS) + 30 g L-1 sucrose or maltose and with or without vitamins as antioxidants. 0.05 mg L-1 biotin (vitamin B7) and 0.5 mg L-1 ascorbic acid (vitamin C) were studied as antioxidants. The anthers were pretreated for 2 days at 35 ºC in dark, then they were incubated in a climate chamber at 25 ºC and 16/8 hours photoperiodic conditions. The highest embryos rate, and development of embryos into the plantlet has been obtained from the medium containing maltose, and antioxidants. Although there was no significant differences between genotypes in medium- I (MS + sucrose), medium-II (MS + sucrose and antioxidants) and medium-III (MS + maltose) in terms...

Experiment on the anther culture in pepper was carried out to determine effect of colchicine on haploid embryo. Semi-solid and double layer culture media were studied. MS medium containing 4 mg l -1 NAA(naphthalene acetic acid), 0.5 mg l -1 BAP (6benzylaminopurine), 2 g l -1 activated charcoal, 30 g -l sucrose, 10 mg l -1 AgNO3 (silver nitrate) and 0.05 mg l -1 biotin, 0.5 mg l -1 ascorbic acid, 7 g l -1 agar was used as control (M1). Semi-solid M2 was % 0.3 colchicine containing M1. The third medium (M3) was double layer. The semi-solid layer was the same of the M1 and liquid layer was % 0.3 colchicine solution. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with 4 replications. 5 Petri dishes per repetition and 10 anthers per Petri dishes were cultured. Frequency of embryos increased by 89.5% and 36.8% for M2 and M3 medium, respectively, as compared to control (M1).The chromosome doubling of pepper haploids is necessary to restore diploid status and restore fertility. Spontaneous double haploid (SDH) ratios were 33.3% in M1 medium, 57.6% in M2 and 47.3% in M3 medium. Colchicine application significantly affects the number of embryos obtained, embryos rate, the number of regenerated plants and SDH plant numbers.

Bu çalışmada, yüksek sıcaklık koşulları altında, class-A sınıfı pan buharlaşma kabından 3 günde oluşan toplam buharlaşmanın % 133 (T 133 ), % 100 (T 100 ) ve % 66 (T 66 )'sının uygulandığı üç sulama düzeyi çalışılmıştır. Çiçeklere 0, 25, ve 50 ppm GA3 uygulamaları yapılmıştır. Uygulanan toplam sulama suyu miktarı T 133 , T 100 ve T 66 için sırasıyla 1 651, 1 321 ve 961 mm olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Yüksek sıcaklık koşullarında ve en düşük sulama seviyesinde (T 66 ) GA 3 uygulanmayan bitkilerde meyve tutum oranı (MTO) % 2.86 olarak belirlenmiştir. MTO T 133 sulama seviyesi ve 50 ppm GA 3 uygulamasıyla % 57.36 oranına yükselmiştir. T 66 sulama seviyesi ve GA 3 uygulanmayan bitkilerin 3.47 ton/da olan meyve verimi, T 133 sulama seviyesinde 50 ppm GA 3 uygulamasıyla 11.35 ton/da seviyesine yükselmiştir. Deneme sonuçları, yüksek sıcaklık ve kuraklık nedeniyle engellenen meyve tutumları ve düşen verim değerlerinin hem sulama seviyeleri hem de GA 3 uygulamalarıyla önemli oranda telafi edilebildiğini, en yüksek sulama seviyesinde dahi GA 3 uygulamalarının verimde önemli artışlara neden olduğunu göstermiştir.

Two different types of explant (cotyledon and hypocotyls) obtained from 3 days old snake melon seedlings and culture conditions were investigated for somatic embryogenesis. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) medium supplemented with 23 different combinations of auxins (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D; α-naphthalene acetic acid, NAA) and cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine, BAP; N6-[2isopentyl]adenine, 2iP) either alone or in combination with each other. Embryogenic calluses were obtained from cotyledon explant on MS media supplemented with NAA and 2,4-D alone and combinations with cytokinin. Our findings showed that NAA and 2,4-D did not act synergistically with BAP or 2iP. Callus formation was the same whether BAP or 2iP was added into the media or not. The highest embryo formation was achieved from cotyledon explant which was 20.00±7.94 somatic embryos per petri dish on medium supplemented with 4 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/l BAP. The cotyledon and hypocotyls explants cultured on the media with 2 mg/l 2,4-D with 0.5 mg/l BAP showed embryogenic callus formation and number of somatic embryos were 17.33±5.51 and 16.33±3.06 per petri dish, respectively. Auxin was found critical for formation of somatic embryo and at the same time, the two tested cytokinins at any concentration acted synergistically with auxin.

Field experiments were conducted on a clay soil. The growing season of common bean was divided into two phases: (1) Vegetative stage (V); from seed germination to the beginning of flowering and (2) reproductive stage (R); from the flowering to the last fruit harvesting. The statistical design was a splitplot with three replications, where the growth stage was the main factor of variation and the irrigation was the secondary factor. The irrigation treatments consisted of all possible combinations of full irrigation (T 1 and T 5 (V 100 and R 100 : 100% of irrigation water (IW)/cumulative pan evaporation (CPE)) or limited irrigation (T 2 : V 75 -R 100 , T 3 : V 50 -R 100 , T 4 : V 25 -R 100 , T 6 : V 100 -R 75 , T 7 : V 100 -R 50 and T 8 : V 100 -R 25 ) in two phases. Fresh bean yield and pod weight (PWt), pod length (PL), pod width (PWh) and number of seed per pod (NSPP) were measured. Yields of T 2 , T 3 , T 4 , T 6 , T 7 and T 8 were determined as 27.0, 35.0, 41.0, 4.0, 12.0 and 21.0% lower than the yields obtained from the control (18.36 and 18.40 t ha -1 ) treatments, respectively. Results demonstrated that, vegetative stage was the more sensitive than the reproductive stage to the deficit irrigation. The highest irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) were found in T 6 and T 7 treatments as 2.58 and 2.66 kg m -3 , respectively.

Water scarcity is one of the major environmental factors influencing sustainable agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions. Careful management irrigation strategies need to save irrigation water with marginal yield reduction. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of the water deficit on yield and yield components of soybean in semi-arid conditions. This research was carried out at the Agricultural Experimental Field of the Harran University (Sanliurfa, Turkey) on clay soil during the growth periods of 2006 and 2007. The irrigation treatments were 33% (I 33 ), 67% (I 67 ), 100% (I 100 ) and 133% (I 133 ) ratios of total irrigation water applied (IW)/cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) with four day irrigation interval. The average amount of irrigation water applied to treatments (I 133, I 100 , I 67 and I 33 ) was 1058, 795, 533 and 263 mm and 1094, 823, 551 and 272 mm for Toyokomachi and Toyohomare cultivars, respectively. The maximum green pod yields were 20.6 and 29.1 t ha -1 with 997 and 922 mm water consumption for Toyohomare and Toyokomachi, respectively in I 133 treatments. Yield response factor (k y ) values of I 100 , I 67 and I 33 treatments were determined as 2.17, 0.92 and 0.59 for Toyohomare and 3.50, 0.61 and 0.61 for Toyokomachi, respectively. The results of the study implied that at least equal (I 100 ) or excess of the evaporated water amount is required to produce high yield in soybean. Differences of yield between cultivars in response to irrigation levels make it necessary to select less sensitive cultivars to water stress especially in semi-arid and arid areas. Varietal characteristics must be considered for successful growing of soybean.

In this study, growth performance, first flowering and harvest dates, soluble solid content and monthly and total berry yield per plant were determined. Frigo plants and fresh runners rooted in pots (FRRP) were provided from the nursery of the Department of Horticulture. Frigo plants yielded more (502.8 g/plant) than the FRRP plants (361.1 g/plant) but the FRRP plants established better. The highest yield was obtained from 'Dorit' frigo (719.6 g/plant) followed by 'Dana' frigo (681.65 g/plant). The cultivars, Aliso, Tufts, Vista, Dana and Dorit appeared to grow better than the others. Soluble solid contents of the berries ranged from 6 to 8 percent during the early harvests, reaching 9 to 12% as the temperature rose during May and June

A field-experiment was conducted to investigate population densities of Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess, 1880) on two vegetable soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cultivars in different irrigation levels in the semi-arid conditions. This research was carried out at the Agricultural Experimental Field of the Harran University (Sanliurfa, Turkey) during the growth periods of 2006, and 2007. The irrigation treatments were 33%, 67 %, 100 %, and 133 % ratios of total irrigation water applied (IW)/cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) with four day irrigation interval. The experiment area was checked once a week during the whole production period. Ten leaves were removed randomly from each plot and living larvae counted. Adult counts were made on yellow sticky trap which placed randomly in each plot. Bean yield was also recorded. Differences of adult number and living larvae were significant between varieties, but showed no significant changes in response to irrigation levels within variety. The number of living larvae and adult of L. trifolii were higher on cultivar Toyohomare than Toyokomachi. However, the population was over the economical damage threshold on all irrigation levels. The highest green pod yield was obtained from Toyokomachi, with I 133 irrigation level. Based on the findings, varietal characteristics should be considered and select less sensitive cultivars to L. trifolii and water stress especially in semi-arid and arid areas for successfully growing soybean.
