(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2020) Ahmad, Z.; Kızılgeçi, Ferhat; Waraich, E.A.; Barutçular, C.; Alharby, H.; Bamagoos, A.; Kizilgeci, F.; Sabagh, A.E.; Department of Seed Production / Tohumculuk Teknolojisi Bölümü
Considering the burning issue the present study was undertaken in pot culture at the Cholistan Institute of Desert Studies (CIDS), The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan for enhancing drought tolerance in two oilseed crops (OC) crops camelina (Camelina sativa L.) and canola (Canola napus L.) through improving physiological, biochemical, and antioxidants activity by foliar application of selenium (Se) under drought stress. Two Camelina (i.e.] ‘Australian Camelina’ and ‘Canadian Camelina’) and canola genotypes (i.e.] ‘AARI Canola’ and ‘UAF Canola’) were used as plant materials during the growing season of 2016. Both Camelina and Canola genotypes were grown under normal (100% FC) and water deficit (drought stress) (40% FC) conditions. Four levels of Se: such as seeds priming with 75μM Se, foliar application of Se at 7.06 μM and foliar Se in combination with seeds priming (7.06 μM & 75μM) along with control were applied at the vegetative stage of both OC crops for screening drought tolerant genotypes. All treatments were arranged three times in a randomized complete block design. Both OC crops were grown upto the maturity and data on physiochemical, antioxidants and yield components were recorded during this study. Results of the present study indicated that the physio-biochemical parameters such as WP (water potential), OP (osmotic potential), TP (turgor pressure), proline, TSS (total soluble sugar), TFAA (total free amino acids), TPr (total proteins) and TS (total sugars); [and total chlorophyll contents were improved by foliar application Se along with seed priming by Se in both OC crops in both drought stress and non-stress (control) conditions. Similarly, osmoprotectants such as GB (Glycinebetaine), anthocyanin, TPC (total phenolic contents) and flavonoids; [as well as antioxidants such as APX (ascorbate peroxidase), SOD (superoxide dismutase), POD (peroxidase) and CAT (catalase) were also showed better enhancement in both OC crops through foliar application in combination with seed priming with Se (7.06 μM & 75μM) under normal as well as water deficit (drought) conditions. Yield and its components i.e.] branches plant-1 (no.), 1000-seed weight (g), seed and biological yield (t ha-1) of both OC crops were increased through foliar application in combination with seed priming by Se (7.06 μM & 75μM) under drought and non-drought stress conditions. Both camelina and Canola genotypes categorized based on all the above-mentioned parameters under the water deficit (drought stress) condition and foliar application of Se, the genotype ‘Canadian Camelina’ maintained the highest values for all these attributes. Therefore, it is revealed that foliar application in combination with seed priming by Se helps to improve drought tolerance of OC crops and also leads to an increase in the productivity of crops under drought stress. Among the genotypes, ‘Canadian Camelina’ performed the best when seeds of the genotypes were primed with Se in combination with foliar application of Se at the vegetative stage. © 2020, Pakistan Botanical Society.

Evaluating Short Stature and High Yielding Maize Hybrids in Multiple Environments Using Gge Biplot and Ammi Models
(Society of Field Crops Science, 2020) Ahmed, A.; Kızılgeçi, Ferhat; Hossain, A.; Amiruzzaman, M.; Alam, M.A.; Farooq, M.; Sabagh, A.E.L.; Kizilgeci, F.; Department of Seed Production / Tohumculuk Teknolojisi Bölümü
In Bangladesh, maize stands second place after rice; [since it faces diverse natural calamities during its highest growing season (rabi/winter), particularly strong storm during the reproductive stage. Sometimes in some regions, this crop is completely damaged by natural disasters. Considering the burning issue, thirteen hybrids, including 10 previously selected short stature hybrids were evaluated against three local and standard checks: ‘BHM-9’, ‘981’ and ‘Sunshine’ in two consecutive years in seven locations of Bangladesh. Combined analysis over locations and seasons instigated that genotypes ‘Sunshine’, ‘981’ and ‘G10’ were the top-high yielders, while genotypes ‘G1’, ‘G2’, ‘BHM-9’ and ‘Sunshine’ were found the most stable. On the other hand, five genotypes such as ‘G3’, ‘G4’, ‘G6’, ‘G8’ and ‘G9’ had the below-average mean yield and the genotypes ‘G6’ and ‘G9’ were the most unstable. Among the seven environments, Jamalpur, Joydebpur and Dinajpur were most discriminating and Ishwardi was the least discriminating; [whereas Joydebpur was more representative and Borishal was the least representative of other test environments. In the case of plant and ear height, most of the genotypes showed a lower value than all the checks, which was desirable. But among the top three high yielders, local cross-genotype, the ‘G10’ had the lowest and more stable value for both plant height and ear height. Therefore, considering the plant and ear height, grain yield, and yield stability, the genotype ‘G10’ has been recommended for release as commercial variety and has been released as new maize variety in Bangladesh with the local name of ‘BARI Hybrid Maize-16’ (BHM-16). © 2020, Society of Field Crops Science.

PHYSIOLOGICAL, AGRONOMICAL AND QUALITY RESPONSE OF BREAD WHEAT TO PHOSPHORUS APPLICATION UNDER DRYLAND CONDITION
(CORVINUS UNIV BUDAPEST, 2019) Kizilgeci, F.
An understanding of physiological and agronomical traits associated with high grain yield and efficiency of phosphorus use is important to the improvement of genotypes under dryland conditions. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of differentiated phosphorus fertilization rate on the yield and quality of wheat at the experimental farm, University of Dicle, Diyarbakir, Turkey during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The experiment was consisted of five treatments comprising of five phosphorus (P2O5) levels (0 kg ha(-1), 30 kg ha(-1), 60 kg ha(-1), 90 kg ha(-1) and 120 kg ha(-1)). It was observed that phosphorus levels exhibited significant differences to the grain numbers per m(2), grain weight and grain yield ha', as well as to starch content and protein content in the first season. There was no significant effect of phosphorus on all studied grain yield and quality characters in the second season. The improvement in grain yield was significantly associated with the increase in the values of grain number, accordingly, the coefficients of grain number and grain yield showed that grain number had a positive and direct effect on grain yield suggesting a criteria trait to enhance yield. It was concluded that the highest grain yield of wheat crop was obtained with 120 kg ha(-1) P2O5 and it showed comparatively better performance than another treatment under investigation.
