DETERMINING OIL AND FATTY ACID PROFILES OF SELECTED SOYBEAN (Glycine max L.) CULTIVARS UNDER SECOND CROP CONDITION IN EAST MEDITERRANEAN AGROECOLOGY

Pinar CUBUKCU

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyse the oil contents and composition of fatty acids (linolenic, stearic, oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids) of 20 distinct soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivars cultivated as the second crop in Cukurova Delta in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Soybean cultivars Ilksoy, Traksoy maturity group II (MG: II), Atakisi, Arisoy, Cinsoy, Atem-7, Sa 88, Altinay, Asya, Bravo, Gapsoy, Kocaturk, Mitchell, Samsoy, Kristal, Umut-2002 (MG: III), Adasoy, ANP 2018, Nazlican, Lider (MG:3.8) were used. Field tests of this study were carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute's Dogankent-Adana location in 2020-2021. Years, genotypes, and year x genotype interactions were all determined as significant in the variance analysis of the experiment's data. The fatty acid content of soybean cultivars varied between 10.00 and 12.64% for palmitic acid, 4.15 and 5.17% for stearic acid, 25.75 and 33.90% for oleic acid, 43.22 and 51.59% for linoleic acid, and 4.85 and 5.98% for linolenic acid, according to a 2-years average. Soybean cultivars' oil content ranged from 23.12 to 24.78 percent.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
