Helianthus tuberosus L., commonly known as the "Jerusalem artichoke" in English, and "Yer elması" in Turkish, belongs to the family Asteraceae. Jerusalem artichoke is native to temperate regions of North America. The tubers of this plant are rich in carbohydrates, where 75% of the dry weight is inulin. The crop produces large amounts of biomass, is fast growing, needs relatively few inputs in terms of pesticides, fertilizer, and water, and can be grown on marginal lands. It shows significant ecological and commercial importance for its strong stress tolerance, very high yield potential and utilization as biofuels. The Jerusalem artichoke also has many other application areas such as the source of sugars and inulin for foods, crude material for the production of various chemicals, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications, green or ensiled forage. In addition, it was used as a raw material for the production of motor fuel alcohol during the World War II. and has been sporadically used for this purpose until the end of the 20 th century. Also, the Jerusalem artichoke can be used as genitor to improve sunflower via interspecific hybridization namely to enhance resistance to diseases such as sclerotinia, downy mildew, phomopsis. However, the infesting nature of tubers left in the soil and the high cost of harvesting have been factors limiting the expansion of cultivation. The Jerusalem artichoke can be grown easily in a very wide area in Turkey because of its adaptability. This study was conducted to investigate the variation in tuber characteristics of 15 Jerusalem artichoke clones locally grown in 9 provinces in Turkey.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most important vegetable in Turkey, and often cultivated in arid and semiarid regions with salinity problems. In the first year of the study, three onion varieties were evaluated at various levels of salinity to identify susceptibility and tolerance levels. At the end of the experiment, “Akgun” determined more tolerant than the other varieties. At 9.6 dSm-1 condition, the survived individuals of this variety were selected as “candidate line”. Selected individuals were grown to maturity and self-pollinated to produce next generations. In the third year of the study, the plants have been grown in vermiculite by substrate culture technique. The early plant stage at the 250 mM NaCl was used for the second selection studies. The same selection procedures were repeated once more on the next season. At each selection stage, the individuals were selected based on plant mortality. At the last year of study, the selected line was evaluated for both seed germination and seedlings growth at three treatment levels of 0 (nonstress), 250 mM, and 350 mM NaCl and were compared with the unselected population. The results indicated that selections were effective at all two salt-stress levels.

Considering the high importance of leek as a vegetable crop, this species is rarely an object of molecular genetic studies. In this study, SRAP and ISSR markers were used for the first time to investigate the genetic diversity in Turkish leek accessions together with some morphological characters. The study was conducted in Erciyes University Faculty of Agriculture in 2018–2020. Thirty-seven local varieties were collected from different towns in Turkey. Also, nineteen leek accessions, which originated from different regions of Turkey, had been kindly obtained from Plant Gene Banks, USDA. Seventeen SRAP and three ISSR markers were screened; all of them exposing 137 reproducible bands, of which 114 resulted in polymorphic. Polymorphism information content (PIC) varied between 0.209 and 0.840. Genetic similarities varied from 0.563 to 0.960, with an average of 0.789. In addition to molecular markers, the entire gene pool was morphologically characterized over two-year data. For this pu...

This study aims to determine the effect of different cultivation techniques on onion plant growth and bulb yield in harsh continental climates and the short vegetation period. Three onion varieties with different dry skin colors were used as plant material. The techniques tried were: direct seed sowing, covering with non-woven fabric after sowing of seeds, planting seedlings, and covering with nonwoven fabric after planting seedlings. The study was carried out in open field conditions in the Kayseri province where located in the central Anatolia region for two years. As a result of the study, it was determined that the interaction effects of the cultivar x cultivation technique had a statistically significant effect on all measured parameters. Although germination and emergence were observed in all varieties in both cultivation techniques, which started with direct seed sowing, plant development remained weak. The bulb formation was observed in only one variety in cultivation with seed sowing. In both techniques with seedlings, all varieties formed bulbs. Seedling planting + use of cover material had a positive effect on both yield and quality criteria for the bulbs. When all the results are evaluated together, it is understood that although the degree of effectiveness varies depending on the cultivars, seedling planting is a very effective technique for onions production in these climate conditions.

In this study, gynogenesis capacity of different Cucumber germplasm, including some commercial varieties, was evaluated and optimized. Unfertilized female flowers of 23 hybrid cucumber genotypes were used as explant source after the two or three weeks of emergence. For each genotype, 30 Petri dishes were prepared with five explants per dish. The study was planned in three stages. In the first stage, the ovarian culture efficiency was tried to be determined by using three ovarian culture protocols which were used in previous studies and obtained successful results. The highest result of embryo unit for per Petri and callus unit for per Petri were obtained from protocol-1 (MS + 1 mg L-1 TDZ + 1 mg L-1 IBA) according to the average of all genotypes at this stage (1.57 units / Petri). In the second stage of the study, the best protocol selected from the first stage, and two new protocols (P-4 and P-5) created with modifications were tested. At the end of this stage, the best protocol selected from the first stage (P-1) and the P-4 (MS + NAA 1.5 mg L-1 + BAP 1.8 mg L-1 + 2,4D 0.7 mg L-1 + Kinetin 1.0 mg L-1) yielded the highest embryo results. In the last stage of the study, two new protocols were tried, but none of them were as good as the previously tried protocols. The results showed that the interaction between genotype x media components was found to be statistically significant at all stages

The onion belongs to Allium section cepa, which consists of twelve species, most of which are used as the vegetable, spices, or medicinal plants. A region of especially high species diversity occurs in Turkey and in the Irano-Turanian floristic region. In this review, changes in the world's and Turkey's onion cultivation areas, production quantities, and yields were examined for last 21 years. Also, monthly producer prices were examined for covering the period 2007–2016. The values of Turkey were compared with Republic of Korea having highest yield, and China having highest quantities. In the conclusion section, it has tried to explain the causes of price fluctuations in the light of findings.

In this paper, correlation and path coefficient analysis for bulb soluble solids content and its components were determined in fifty-six Turkish onion accessions. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that the diameter of pseudostem and the length of the tallest leaf had a positive significant correlation with bulb weight. Also, the high negative correlation coefficient was observed for soluble solids content with the length of the tallest leaf and bulb weight. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the width of the neck of bulbs and the number of the epidermal ring in bulbs exhibited a positive direct effect on soluble solids content. In addition to these results, the maximum positive indirect effect on soluble solids content was the diameter of pseudostem through the diameter of bulb and length of pseudostem through the diameter of bulb. At the end of the study, it was be concluded that the selection of these traits can be contributed to efficiency for the breeding of the onion varieties.

In this study, the effect of different doses of foliar melatonin application on the leaf and bulb properties of onion under salt stress was investigated for the first time. Four commercial varieties were used as plant materials. One µM, 2 µM, 4 µM, and 8 µM doses of melatonin were applied to the plants at the seedling stage by leaf spraying two times. Salt stress was created by an irrigation programme containing 0, 100 mM, 200 mM, and 400 mM NaCl. At the end of the study, 13 morphological traits that play an important role in onion cultivation were observed. As a result of the study, it was found that the combined effect of three factors for the number of bulb scales and bulb weight traits is statistically significant. Overall, it has been observed that melatonin has the potential to counteract the negative effects of salt stress for some traits. However, different results between genotypes revealed that similar field trials should be tested with different genotypes to determine the appropriate melatonin dose in onion plants.

The subgenus Allium section Allium includes economically important species such as onion (Allium cepa L.), leek (A. ampeloprasum var. porrum L.) and chives (A. schoenoprasum L.). These species have a biennial habit and many cultivars are open pollinated; and high levels of heterozygosity must be maintained. The Alliums’ umbel consists of a few, to hundreds of perfect flowers of per umbel. These flowers are too small to synthetic pollination studies due to the large-scale emasculation is not practical so the development of hybrid varieties is economically feasible using systems of cytoplasmic-genic male sterility (CMS). Male sterile plants, which haven’t got any fertile pollen, incapable of self-pollination so any seed produced must result from cross-pollination. Alliums hybrid production requires the development of male-sterile, maintainer and pollinator lines with good specific combination ability. This review outlines the using male sterility feature in hybrid breeding program for...

The time of flowering is one of the primary adaptive attributes in the survival strategy of flowering plants. This feature is a significant ingredient of crop adaptation and yield. When hypothetical studies are applied on the flowering time in pea, the short day and long day circumstances of growing season are taken into consideration. In the same way, the flowering time and the first node location of the flower are straight related to each other. Over 20 loci connected to flowering time and inflorescence development have been identified in pea. A detailed comprehension of flowering mechanisms is the substance of future improvements for genetic sequence-based selection and target manipulation of genes. The aim of this review is to summarize the present knowledge of flowering time regulation in the pea.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different levels of (0, 1000, 2000 and 4000 ppm) IBA (indolyl-3-butyric acid), two fungi isolates, and their combinations on the rooting performance of Rosa centifolia cuttings. The application of IBA (with or without Trichoderma spp.) significantly improved the degree and percentage of rooting in cuttings. The results indicate that the rooting ability of cuttings differs significantly between the treatments. Considering the number of roots per rooted cutting and rooting percentage, highest results were obtained from the application of the 4000 IBA (23,63 and %98 respectively). The rooting performance of the cutting treated with solely biological agents’ solution showed worse performance than the samples treated with IBA containing solutions.
