Article Agronomic Characteristics and Yield Values of Sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.) Cultivars at Various Sowing Dates(2023) Izgı, Mehmet Necat; İzgi, Mehmet Necat; Bulut, BurhanIn this study, ten different sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivars registered in Türkiye were investigated for their sowing dates as a second crop in the lowlands of Mardin province, in 2018 and 2019. In this study, ten different sesame cultivars were used; these were Arslanbey, Boydak, Cumhuriyet-99, Hatipoğlu, Muganlı-57, Orhangazi-99, Osmanlı-99, Sarısu, Tan-99, and Tanas. Four different sowing dates (June 5, June 15, June 25, and July 4) were examined for these cultivars. In this study, agricultural parameters such as plant height, number of lateral branches, number of capsules, seed yield, oil ratio, and oil yield of the sesame cultivars were investigated. Different sowing dates were found to have a significant effect on the sesame cultivars. The second sowing date resulted in the highest plant height, number of branches, number of capsules, seed yield, oil content, and oil yield (June 15). In terms of cultivars, the Boydak and Sarısu had the highest seed yield (2184 and 2149 kg ha-1, respectively), the Osmanlı-99 (54.6%) had the highest oil ratio, and the Sarısu and Boydak had the highest oil yield (1075 and 1062 kg ha-1, respectively). The Boydak and Sarısu cultivars are promising for high seed and oil yields in the second crop sowing, and a sowing date of June 15 is advised.Article Amino Acid Profile, Nutrients Content and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) Genotypes(Scibulcom Ltd, 2015) Dogan, Y.; Doğan, YusufChickpea has significant amounts of all the essential amino acids except sulphur-containing types. It was found that chickpea is a rich source of protein and minerals. The experiments were conducted in a Randomised Complete Block Design with three replications 2013 and 2014 years in South-Eastern Turkey. A total of fifteen varieties, lines and populations were used as materials. In the study were investigated different parameters such as amino acids of protein, seed yield, protein and fat rate in seed, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, manganese, zinc, copper and iron contents and of seeds. The essential amino acid leucine (8.43 mg/100 g in 2013 and 8.59 mg/100 g in 2014) was found in highest concentration, followed by lysine (7.14 mg/100 g in 2013 and 7.27 mg/100 g in 2014) and phenylalanine (5.99 mg/100 g in 2013 and 6.07 mg/100 g in 2014) in the chickpea. Mineral composition of chickpea genotypes showed that they contribute sufficient amount of Ca, P, K, Cu, Zn and Mg in human diets to meet the recommended dietary allowance. According to the average of two years, the highest grain yield was obtained from Diyar-95 variety with 1618 kg ha(-1), the lowest grain yield was obtained from M-1 local population with 1104 kg ha(-1).Article Analysis of Promising Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Lines Performance by Ammi and Gge Biplot in Multiple Traits and Environment(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2019) Kendal, Enver; Kendal, E.; Karaman, M.; Doğan, Serap; Tekdal, S.; Dogan, S.The development of stable and adaptable new cultivars are based only on positive results obtained from the interaction between the genotype and the environment. Therefore, the study aimed to test the stability and general adaptability of promising barley lines in terms of grain yield and traits in multi -environments. For this purpose, twelve barley genotypes were used in the study. The trials were carried out with four replications in a random design at seven environments in years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The superior and stable genotypes were identified with GGE biplot and AMMI (Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) models. The AMMI analysis showed that the major treatment sum of squares was affected by environments (80.6%), GE (14.0%) and genotypes (5.4%), respectively. On the other hand, the first two principal component axes (PCA 1 and PCA 2) contributed to the complete interaction with 88.1%, whereas, PCA 3 and PCA 4 axes only with 12.0%. The GGE biplot indicated that G4 is adaptable for all environments, while Altikat, G2 and G3 showed specific adaptation to El, E3 and E5, G6, G7 and G8 to E6, respectively. According to both techniques, G2, G3, G6, G7, G8 and Altikat were the best genotypes with high yield, whereas G4 was the best with high yield, and stable and general adaptation. The results of biplot indicated that G4 (ARUPO /K8755//MORA/3/CERISE/SHYRIHALEL I/4/CANELA/5/HART-BAR) was recommended for release and it was released as HEVSEL in 2017. On the other hand; G7 and G6 were protected as genetic material to use as parent in breeding programs for yield stability and quality respectively.Article Ayvalık Tuzlasının Ağır Metal Düzeyinin Halimione Portulacoides (L.) Bitkisi Kullanılarak Belirlenmesi(2019) Kılıç, Murat; Ay, Güngör; Koçbaş, Fatma; Kılıç, Fatma MunganBu çalışmada, Ayvalık tuzlasında yayılış gösteren Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen bitkisi kullanılarak, tuzlanın Pb, Zn ve Cd düzeyleri Perkin Elmer Analyst 700 Model Alevli Atomik Absorbsiyon Spektrofotometresi (FAAS) cihazı kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Tuzla İzmir-Çanakkale karayolunun bitişiğinde yer aldığından dolayı ayrıca karayoluna olan mesafeye bağlı değişimlerde belirlenmiştir. Bitkinin kök, gövde ve yaprak kısımları ile onun yetişme toprağı çalışmanın materyalini oluşturmuştur. Örneklemeler 2009-2010 yılları arasında, tuzlayı çevreleyen toprak set üzerinde belirlenen yedi istasyonda yapılmıştır. Her istasyondan 12 ay boyunca düzenli olarak numuneler alınmıştır. Yapılan tüm analizler sonucunda bitkide; Pb <0.001-0.977 ppm, Zn 0.099-1.650 ppm, Cd <0.001-0.102 ppm, toprakta ise Pb 0.523- 1.599 ppm, Zn 0.143-1.248 ppm ve Cd 0.006-0.432 ppm arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Pb ve Zn birikimi yola olan mesafeye bağlı artmış, Cd birikimi ile yola olan mesafe arasında ise net bir ilişki elde edilememiştir. Analizlerde sonuçların sınır değerlerin altında olmasının en önemli nedeni, hakim rüzgâr yönünün kuzeybatı (tuzladan karayoluna doğru) olması, tuzlanın güneyi boyunca uzanan karayolu üzerinde herhangi bir kavşak ve sinyalizasyonun bulunmaması ve yakınında kirletici özelliği olabilecek endüstri ve sanayi tesislerinin olmamasıdır.Article Determining Irrigation Scheduling and Different Manure Sources of Yield and Nutrition Content on Maize (Zea Mays L.) Cultivation(Corvinus University of Budapest, 2019) Dogan, Y.; Togay, N.; Togay, Y.; Doğan, YusufThe aim of this study was to determine the most suitable irrigation schedules and sources of manure for maize under Mardin ecological conditions. For this purpose, four sources of fertilizer and three irrigation schedules were applied in hybrid maize cultivar to find out their effects on the yield and yield factors in the years of 2014 and 2015. The study used a randomized complete block with split block design with 3 replications. In the study, significant differences were determined on traits at the level of 1% and 5%. The plant height, first cob height, cob length, number of seeds per cob, cob yield, 1000 seed weight, seed yield per unit, hectoliter, protein and oil ratio in seed, Mg, K, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, Na, Ca content of seeds were significantly influenced by irrigation schedules and sources of fertilizer for two years. The highest values were obtained from chicken manure with 9646 kg ha-1 in the first year and 11019 kg ha-1 in the second year, whereas the lowest values were obtained from control with 6363 and 6662 kg ha-1 for the first year and the second, respectively. But the difference between 180-80 kg N-P2O5 - ha-1 and chicken manure was not statistically significant in the second year. According to the irrigation schedules, the grain yield ranged between 6386-10678 kg/ha in the first year and 7575-12133 kg ha-1 in the second year. The lowest grain yield per area was from the four-irrigation application, whereas the highest values were obtained from the six-irrigation application. The results of the study showed that grain yield and nutrient level of corn seeds increased, depending on irrigation time and number. © 2019, ALÖKI Kft., Budapest, Hungary.Article The Effect of Different Phosphorus Doses on Agronomic and Quality Characteristics of Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum L.)(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2020) İzgi, Mehmet Necat; İzgi, Mehmet NecatIn a two-year study, under the environmental conditions of the plains of Mardin province in Turkey, the effects of different doses of phosphorus (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg ha(-1)) on the yield and quality characteristics of the coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were examined. Plant characteristics such as plant height, number of branches, number of umbels, thousand seed weight and seed yield were examined, besides quality characteristics such as essential oil rate and composition. The essential oil was isolated with a Clevenger apparatus from mature fruits. Essential oil components were determined with Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results revealed that phosphorus doses affect the plant characteristics of coriander including plant height, number of branches, number of umbels and thousand fruit weight with positive significance. Fruit yield was not affected significantly. Phosphorus doses had a significant positive effect on essential oil rate. Increasing phosphorus doses affected rates of alpha-pinene, geranyl acetate and camphor positively. However, Linalool and gamma-terpinene were not affected by phosphorus doses significantly. The application of 120 kg phosphorus per hectare, which had the highest essential oil rate in both years, can be recommended in coriander farming.Article Effects of Humic Acid and Phosphorus Applications on Nutrient Composition of Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medic.)(Scibulcom Ltd., 2016) Togay, Y.; Dogan, Y.; Togay, N.; Doğan, YusufLentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) is an important food crop with high protein content. This study aimed to determine the effects of increasing doses of phosphorus and humic acid applications on P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, protein ratio and seed yield in lentil cultivar. The study was carried out in the research and application during the 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 cropping seasons in field of Agriculture Faculty Yuzuncu Yil University, Turkey. The experiment comprised a factorial randomised complete block design replicated three times with three phosphorus treatments 0, 40 and 80 kg ha–1, as triple superphosphate, and three humic acid treatments 0, 300 and 600 kg ha–1. For basic fertilisation 40 kg ha–1 ammonium sulphate were applied for nitrogen. The nutrient contents of seed and yield were significantly increased by increasing phosphorus and humic acid levels except for Zn content nutrient. The combination between phosphorus at 80 kg P2O5 ha–1 and humic acid at 600 kg ha–1 gave the highest growth and production as well as minerals composition (P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu and Mn) and protein content compared to other treatments. Humic acid increased the availability of phosphors, macronutrients and micronutrients. © 2016, Scibulcom Ltd.

In this study, the aim was to specify the effects of different nitrogen doses on the yield and quality properties of coriander. In this research; [plant height, number of branches, number of umbels, thousand seed weight, seed yield, oil content, fatty acid composition, essential oil rate and essential oil composition were examined. The essential oil contents in coriander fruits was determined by Clevenger apparatus. Fatty oil was isolated by cold press. Essential oil and fatty oil compositions were determined by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS-QP2020) device. While nitrogen doses did not positively affect fruit yield, they had a significantly positive effect on the herbal characteristics of coriander (plant height, number of umbels and thousand fruit weight). It was revealed that nitrogen doses had positive significant effect essential oil rate. Increasing nitrogen doses affected rate of linalool. Nitrogen doses had a significant effect only on butyric acid, and for fatty oil rate and other major fatty acids their effect was not significant. It has been determined that high fruit yields are obtained at 60 and 80 kg ha-1 nitrogen applications and that the rate of essential oil and linalool is the highest at 100 kg ha-1 nitrogen doses especially in the second year. © 2020, ALÖKI Kft.] Budapest, Hungary.Article Effects of Zno Nanoparticules Produced by Green Synthesis on Germination and Seedling Of Salvia Officinalis L. Seeds(Polish Society Magnesium Research, 2021) Eren, Abdullah; Toncer, Ozlem; Eren, AbdullahNanotechnology is a research subject in many interdisciplinary engineering fields today. Nanoparticles have important effects on seed germination and seedling growth of plants. The aim of this study has been to produce a 54.68 nm-sized ZnO nanoparticle obtained from the Nigella sativa L. plant by green synthesis. The effect of medicinal sage (Salvia officinalis L.) on germination of plant seeds and seedling growth was investigated. The trial was set up under controlled conditions and conducted for 14 days according to a factorial trial design with 5 replications for each dose (0, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 mg ZnO NP kg-1). As a result of ZnO NP application in different doses, germination of Salvia officinalis L. seeds varied between 90-94%, stem length was 1.86-2.92 cm and shoot length was between 1.01-1.98 cm.

Through Application of Selenium(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2020) Ahmad, Z.; Kızılgeçi, Ferhat; Waraich, E.A.; Barutçular, C.; Alharby, H.; Bamagoos, A.; Kizilgeci, F.; Sabagh, A.E.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.

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.

The AMMI (Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) analysis and Genotype x Environment Interaction (GEI) is make to estimation grain yield and understands GxE interaction patterns by researches as differential ranking of variety yields in multi-environment trials. Therefore, fifteen barley advanced line and six national cultivars and four foreign varieties (registered in abroad) were used in the study. The experiments were performed according to a complete randomized block design with four replications at five environments during two years. The stability and superiority of genotypes for yield and other traits were determined using AMMI and GGE biplot analysis. Factors (G, GE, and GEI) were found to be highly significant (P < 0.01) for grain yield. AMMI analysis indicated that the major contributions to treatment sum of squares were environments (98.52%), GE (0.45%) and genotypes (1.02%), respectively, suggesting that grain yield of genotypes were effected environmental conditions. The GGE biplot indicated that PCA 1 axes (Principal component) was significant as P<0.01 and supplied to 49.36% of complete GxE interaction. The AMMI indicated that G8 and G23 desirable and stabile genotypes for grain yield in multi-environment. Moreover, E2 and E5 (irrigated environments) were high yielding, while E3 (drought stress) low yielding as forecast. On the other hand, GGE biplot indicated that three group were occurred among traits, first group (GY: grain yield, CC: crude cellulose, CD: cold damage), second group (PC:, HVV: hectoliter weight, TGW: thousand grain weight, SH: seed humidity), third group (LOD: lodging, PH: plant height, HT: heading time). Moreover: the study showed that G3, G6, G7, G8, G13 and G21 were the best genotypes both grain yield and other traits. The results of AMMI model and GGE biplot indicated that G8 is suitable to recommend for release and G23 desirable origin for yield stability and G7 valuable source for quality to use in barley breeding program.Note First Report of Binucleate Rhizoctonia Ag-F Causing Stalk and Root Rot of Corn (Zea Mays) in Turkey(American Phytopathological Society, 2019) Türkölmez, Ş.; Derviş, Sibel; Çiftçi, O.; Derviş, S.; Ulubaş Serçe, Ç.Note First Report of Neoscytalidium Dimidiatum Causing Black Canker and Root Rot of Walnut in Turkey(American Phytopathological Society, 2019) Dervis, S.; Derviş, Sibel; Türkölmez, S.; Çiftçi, O.; Ulubas Serçe, Ç.; Dikilitas, M.Article First Report of Neoscytalidium Dimidiatum Causing Dieback, Shoot Blight, and Branch Canker of Willow Trees in Turkey(American Phytopathological Society, 2019) Türkölmez, Ş.; Derviş, Sibel; Derviş, S.; Çiftçi, O.; Serçe, Ç.U.; Türkölmez, C.G.; Dikilitas, M.Note First Report of Neoscytalidium Dimidiatum Causing Shoot and Needle Blight of Pines (Pinus Spp.) in Turkey(American Phytopathological Society, 2019) Türkölmez, S.; Derviş, Sibel; Dervis, S.; Çiftçi, O.; Dikilitas, M.Article Identify of Macro and Trace Elements in Grain of Some Barley Varieties and Interpretation Zwith Biplot Technique(University of Montenegro, 2021) Düzgün, M.; Kendal, E.; Zahir Düz, M.; Hatipoğlu, A.The purpose of this study was to determine the content of some macro and trace elements in grain of spring barley cultivars, and to state the relationships between those elements. In this study macro and trace elements (Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Si, Sn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni, V, Pb, As and Se) of barley cultivars were determined by inductively coupled plasma optic emission spektometry (ICP-OES) using grain. The grain samples were digested by microwave system, as well as. As and Se were determined by hydride system. The result of study showed that the content Si of barley cultivars are quite high, however, the concentrations toxic heavy metals of Cd, Pb and as were determined to be below the limit values. The biplot indicated that three group occurred among macro and trace element and the correlation of Zn with Sn, Cr with Ca and Fe, Ca with Fe and Pb was significant and positively, while V with Si was significant and negatively. On the other hand, the study showed that Samyeli is the best cultivar based on macro and trace element concentrations and this variety can be used in animal husbandry. © 2021, University of Montenegro.

Three different harvesting times (early, on-time and late) and four sulphur levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha–1) were used. Yield, protein ratio and mineral nutritional value of chickpea were significantly affected by sulphur and harvest timing. The highest grain yields according to the harvest time were obtained from on-time harvest with 1527 and 1434 kg ha–1 for the first and second years, respectively. The lowest grain yields were obtained from the control plots, whereas the highest values were obtained from the plots given 60 kg ha–1 sulphur. Generally, protein, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and manganese concentrations of the seeds in on-time harvest and 60 kg ha–1 sulphur aplication were found to be greater than in early and late harvested plants. Positive significant relationships were found between harvest time and protein (r = 0.64**), Fe (r = 0.75**) and Zn (r = 0.27*). Positive significant relationships were found between sulphur doses and grain yield (r = 0.44*), protein (r = 0.26*), P (r = 0.71**), K (r = 0.73**), Ca (r = 0.36**), Mg (r = 0.76*), Zn (r = 0.57) and S (r = 0.96*). © 2015, Scibulcom Ltd.

Aman rice). The late sown mustard is often exposed to high-temperature stress during the reproductive stage, which causes a significant decrease in seed yield. Most of the farmers plant a low yielding local mustard variety ‘Tori-7’, which is sensitive to high-temperature stress. The Oil Seeds Research Centre of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute has recently released short duration and high-yielding mustard varieties for the rice-based cropping system of northern Bangladesh to tackle this issue. However, the performance of these varieties in the target cropping system under late sown conditions (together with exposure to heat stress) has not been evaluated yet. Therefore, this two-year field experiment was conducted to assess the performance of newly released mustard varieties ‘BARI Sarisha-14’ and ‘BARI Sarisha-15’ in comparison with the local check variety ‘Tori-7’ sown at five planting dates (viz. October 21, November 1, November 10, November 20, and November 30). The delay in sowing shortened time (days) to flowering and maturity, regardless of the variety. Similarly, plant height, branches/plant and total dry matter accumulation of the tested varieties were also reduced upon delay in planting. The greatest seed yield was observed in varieties ‘BARI Sarisha-15’ and ‘BARI Sarisha-14’ when sown on October 21. These two varieties produced fair seed yield when sown at November 20. However, the local variety ‘Tori7’ yielded the least across all the planting dates. Therefore, the varieties ‘BARI Sarisha-14’ and ‘BARI Sarisha-15’ may be planted in the rice-based cropping system of northern Bangladesh after harvest of T. Aman rice to get maximum seed yield. © 2020, Pakistan Botanical Society.

Dahliae(Fundacion Romulo Raggio, 2020) Tok, F.M.; Derviş, Sibel; Dervis, S.; Yetisir, H.Forty-four V. dahliae isolates were collected from symptomatic vascular tissues of okra plants each from a different field in eight provinces located in the eastern Mediterranean and western Anatolia regions of Turkey during 20062009. Nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants of V. dahliae from okra were used to determine heterokaryosis and genetic relatedness among isolates. All isolates from okra plants were grouped into two vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) (1 and 2) and three subgroups as 1A (13.6%, 6/44), 2A (20.5%, 9/44) and 2B (65.9%, 29/44) according to international criteria. Pathogenicity tests were performed on a susceptible local okra (A. esculentus) landrace in greenhouse conditions. All isolates from VCG1A and VCG2B induced defoliation (D) and partial defoliation (PD) symptoms, respectively. Other isolates from VCG2A gave rise to typical leaf chlorosis symptoms without defoliation. The obtained data showed that the virulence level of V. dahliae isolates from okra was related to their VCG belongings. Eighteen okra landraces from diverse geographical origins were screened for resistance to VCG2B and VCG1A of V. dahliae. The results indicated that all landraces were more susceptible to highly virulent VCG1A-D pathotype displaying D or PD symptoms depending on their susceptibility levels with a mean disease severity index of 3.52 than to less virulent VCG2B-PD pathotype of V. dahliae displaying PD and ND symptoms with a mean disease severity index of 2.52. Significant differences were observed among the landraces; [however, none of them exhibited a level of resistance. Okra landraces; [Çorum, Hatay Has and Şanlıurfa displayed the lowest level of susceptibility or little tolerance to both D and PD pathotypes. VCG2B of PD was prevailing in the surveyed areas and VCG1A of D was the most virulent of the VCGs identified. Introduction of resistant genotypes to Turkish okra germplasm from different sources and breeding new resistant okra cultivars are critical for the sustainability of okra production. © 2020, Fundacion Romulo Raggio.
