Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Comparison of Lipid Contents and Fatty Acid Profiles of Freshwater Fish from the Atatürk Dam Lake(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Bashan, Mehmet; Kacar, SemraObjective: The objective of the study was to examine the lipid levels, fatty acid profiles (especially EPA and DHA which play an important role in the prevention of a wide variety disorders such as; coronary heart disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, breast and colon cancer, Alzheimer disease, inflammation and autoimmune disorders) and n-3/n-6 ratio of some freshwater fish in Ataturk Dam Lake. Methods: Samples of 12 fish species from the Ataturk Dam Lake (Turkey) were investigated for their fat content and fatty acid composition (Aspius vorax, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius gibelio, Liza abu, Acanthobrama marmid, Barbus xanthopterus, Cyprinion macrostomum, Carassius auratus, Calcalburnus mossulensis, Capoeta trutta, Mastacembelus simack, Chondrostoma regium). Total lipids were extracted with 10 ml of chloroform-methanol (2/1v/v). Samples containing muscle lipid were transesterified with acidified methanol. The fatty acid methyl esters were extracted with hexane. Fatty acids were detected by gas chromatography (GC). Results: The lipid content of species ranged from 0.78% to 2.51%. The highest lipid content was found in female C. trutta (2.51%). The major SFAs were myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18: 0). Oleic acid (C18:1 n-9) and palmitoleic acid (C16:1 n-7) were the prominent MUFA. The dominant PUFAs were linoleic acid (LA, C18:2 n-6), linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3 n-3), arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4 n-6), eicoesapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20: 5 n-3) and docoesahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3). The ratio of n-3/n-6 PUFAs ranged from 1.22 to 4.71. Conclusion: In this study, the fatty acid composition varied between different species In addition, the highest n-3/n-6 ratios were observed in female C. trutta, C. mossulensis, C. regium and A. vorax. Therefore, these species are economically important fish considering n-3 fatty acids and n-3/n-6 ratios.Article Comparison of the Gonadoprotective Functions of Nigella Sativa Oil, Metformin and Vitamin E on Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Testis(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2025) Kaya, Seval; Seker, Ugur; Ozmen, Mehmet F.; Ayaz, Hayat; Erdogan, Gamze; Nergiz, YusufBACKGROUND: Changes in blood glucose levels in DM cause many complications. We aimed to make a detailed comparison study on the protective effects of Nigella sativa oil, metformin, and vitamin E on the histopathologic effects of diabetes on the male reproductive system. METHODS: In the experiment, 30 rats were divided equally into 5 groups: Control, DM, DM+NS, DM+M and DM+E. To induce diabetes in the experimental groups, a one-time injection of 45 mg/kg Streptozotocin was administered. Rats with blood glucose levels above 250 mg/dl were included in the experiment. The experiment period lasted 8 weeks. Weekly body weight of the rats, reproductive organ weights at the end of the experiment, spermatologic data, immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL assay staining and morphometric evaluation were performed. RESULTS: According to Johnsen Biopsy Score and Seminiferous Tubule diameter data, the DM+NS group had similar results to the control group, indicating that Nigella sativa oil preserved the seminiferous tubule diameter structure better than vitamin E and metformin. There were head, neck and tail defects in the diabetes group. Based on the results of the applications carried out to evaluate apoptosis and proliferation in testicular tissue, it can be concluded that the treated diabetic groups, especially the Nigella sativa oil, improved the structure of spermatogenic tubules and also reduced the number of apoptotic cells, as shown by the results of the TUNEL test (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We think that Nigella sativa oil is more effective on the mechanism of diabetes than other active substances and regulates metabolic changes and may be an effective therapeutic agent for diabetes treatment.Article Evaluation of Some Corn Genotypes as a Second Crop by Trait (GT) Biplot Method(Natl information Documentation Cent, Acad Scientific Research & Technology, 2025) Dogan, Serap; Acibuca, Veysi; Dogan, YusufIT is extremely important to grow more than one product in a production season to obtain the maximum income per unit area. Maize is one of the most suitable crops for the second product. This research was carried out in Tilkitepe village of Artuklu district of Mardin province in the 2021 growing season to determine the second crop conditions in the borders of Mardin province using hybrid cultivars with different characteristics. The study was conducted according to a randomised block design with three replications. The data obtained from the traits investigated in this study were subjected to an analysis of variance and interpreted using the GT biplot technique. Significant differences at the 1% level (p<0.01) were found between the genotypes in terms of the traits studied, except for the protein ratio. In the results of the study; plant height (PH) varied between 209-254 cm, height of first ear (HFC) between 59.4-87.7 cm, ear length (CL) between 17.7-21.7 cm, number of rows on ear (NRC) between 39.2-43.8 pieces, 100 grain weight (100 GW) between 30. 3-43.5 g, cob weight (CW) between 186-254 g, number of grains on the cob (NGC) between 584-696 pieces, hectolitre weight (HW) between 75.1-82.2 kg/hl, protein ratio (PR) 6.6-9.5%, grain yield (GY) between 9629-13220 kg/ha. According to the results and biplot graphs, Dekalb-6050(G39) was the most suitable genotype among the genotypes based on grain yield and traits as a second crop. As a result, this variation showed that the maize cultivar had good results as a second crop under the Mardin condition. Therefore, the Dekalb-6050(G39) genotype can be recommended for cultivation as a second crop in the following years under Mardin conditions.Editorial Article Ahmed Anzavur: Soldier, Governor, and Rebel. a Reevaluation of a Late Ottoman Military Man(Oriental Inst Czech Acad Sci, 2023) Yelbasi, CanerFollowing the Russian conquest of the North Caucasus, many Muslims from the region were exiled to the Ottoman Empire from the 1860s onwards. They were settled in different parts of the empire from the Balkans to Anatolia to the Syria and Iraq vilayets. By following this policy, the Ottoman state ensured that many Circassians would become part of the Ottoman army, ruling elites, harems and agricultural workforce. Anzavur Ahmed's family was one of them. Although he did not graduate from military school, he participated in the army during the war in Libya (1911), the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), and the First World War (1914-1918). He was also appointed as the governor of Izmit (1920). Anzavur Ahmet is portrayed as a rebel by Turkish official historiography, but in reality, he was much more than that. He was an Ottoman Governor, and supported by Ottoman administrators such as Damad Ferid and Ali Kemal, who were against the Kuvayi Milliye because they believed that the empire would eventually emerge from the chaotic atmosphere of the post-First World War period and make an agreement with the British. This article argues that although Ahmed Anzavur has been labeled a rebel and a traitor according to the official historiography, it is difficult to use these labels given the circumstances of his time.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Impact of Heat Stress on Yield Potential of Durum Wheat Genotypes(Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum, 2024) Elis, SevalHeat stress during plant growing cycle is a critical factor affecting wheat production. The primary objective of this research is to assess the impact of heat stress on key agronomic traits of durum wheat, including grain yield, heading and ground cover ratio. The study was conducted over two consecutive cropping seasons (2019 and 2020) under rain-fed conditions. Twenty durum wheat lines and varieties were used as the research materials. The genotypes experienced significant heat stress from vegatative to reproductive period. Heat stress during plant growth is critical for wheat grain yield and quality but heat stress effects vary between genotypes depending on their stress tolerance level. The study demonstrated the potential of NDVI as a reliable indicator that can be used to evaluate the crop yield performance under temperature stress conditions. This supported by strong relationships between grain yield and NDVI. The association of estimated maximum ground cover (EMC) with earliness indicates that early soil surface closure is related to rapid growth rate. According to ground cover estimations, early ground cover and fast plant growth were related to earliness and plant height, respectively. This study reveals significance of identifying and selecting durum wheat genotypes with good stability under heat stress, aiming to development of heat-tolerant varieties and ensuring more stable wheat production.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Evaluation of the organizational innovation and self-efficiency levels of health workers(Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2023) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Vural Doğru, Birgül; Arslan, NurgülThe aim of this study was determine whether the personal features of the participants create a difference in terms of organizational innovation. This study was conducted with 1234 nurses and midwives. A multiple regression model was created to see and predict the effect on individuals' total innovative scores and self-efficacy scores. The total innovative and the self-efficacy score are predicted with multiple regression analyses. It was observed that the variable that most affected both the total innovative score and the self-efficacy score of the individuals was the education level of the individuals. The fact that midwives and nurses have a certain level of innovative and self-confidence is important for the society to receive better and faster health services. In this study, it was observed that the education level was important for the development of innovative and self-confidence in both groups.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Stripe Rust Partial Resistance Increases Spring Bread Wheat Yield in South-eastern Anatolia, Turkey(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016) Aktaş, Hüsnü; Zencirci, NusretStripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici is the most serious disease of wheat globally including south-eastern Anatolia of Turkey, where wheat originated. In this study, 12 spring wheat genotypes were artificially inoculated and preserved in two locations, Diyarbakr and Adyaman, during the 2011-2012 season to investigate loss in yield and yield components. Genotypes were evaluated at the adult plant stage using two partial resistance parameters: final disease severity and area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). AUDPC ranged from 14.8 to 860 in Diyarbakr, and 74 to 760 in Adyaman. Yield loss ranged from 0.6 to 68.5% in Diyarbakr and 9.8 to 56.8% in Adyaman. Genotypes G1, G5, G7 and G8 were found to lose less yield, while higher yield loss was observed in G3, G4 (Nurkent), G5 and G9 (Karacada-98). The highest loss in thousand kernel weight was observed in a susceptible cultivar Karacada-98 in Diyarbakr followed by 43.4 and 24.4% in Adyaman. Test weight loss reached 8.89% in Diyarbakr and 20.8% in Adyaman. Yield loss and AUDPC had a positive significant relationship. Based on the values of AUDPC, final disease severity and yield loss, three major clusters were formed for 12 wheat genotypes. Partially resistant genotypes were found to lose less grain yield and seemed to be stronger against severe stripe rust pressure.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Neoscytalidium Dimidiatum: a Newly Identified Postharvest Pathogen of Pears and Its Implications for Pome Fruits(Wiley, 2024) Dervis, Sibel; Zholdoshbekova, Sezim; Guney, Inci Guler; Ozer, GokselTürkiye is a prominent contributor to pear and diverse pome fruit production. Pear fruit with unusual brown to black spots and rot symptoms observed in public marketplaces in Mardin province have raised concerns regarding postharvest fruit health. The consistent isolation of a fungus from these fruits revealed morphological features indicative of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. Phylogenetic confirmation of its identity ensued through BLASTn searches targeting, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of ribosomal DNA, the partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene (tef1), and the partial beta-tubulin gene (tub2). Pathogenicity evaluations were conducted on common pome fruits, namely pears, apples, and quinces, unveiling the susceptibility of all examined fruits to postharvest infection by this emergent pathogen. Furthermore, an investigation was carried out to discern the pathogen's response to varying temperature ranges on pear fruits, revealing that the most pronounced lesions occurred at 30 degrees C, followed by 25 degrees C, 35 degrees C, and 20 degrees C. Conversely, no lesion development was observed at 10 degrees C, 15 degrees C, or 40 degrees C. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first report of N. dimidiatum as the etiological agent responsible for postharvest rot in pear fruit. The implications of these findings highlight the potential threat posed by this pathogen to pome fruits postharvest, especially in regions where cold storage facilities are not widely utilized, warranting increased vigilance and preventive measures.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Determination of Running Performance in Young Soccer Players(Mattioli 1885, 2020) Karakulak, IzzetStudy Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between running performances in young soccer players and various parameters. Methods: The study was conducted with 20 male athletes from the U-14 youth setup soccer team of a sports club playing in the Turkish Football Super League. Various measurements were made to determine athletes' height, body weight, leg, lower leg and upper leg length, leg force, active and squat jump heights, sprint times in 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 meters. The videos, on which athletes' two full stride lengths where they reached maximal speed were recorded, were analyzed on Ariel Performance Analysis System (APAS) package program the with below-waist analysis method, and their stride lengths on maximal speed were found. Thus, athletes' step frequencies were found by dividing their running times into their stride lengths. Data were evaluated on SPSS 22.0 package program with descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to determine the correlation between stride length and step frequency, and other parameters. Results: The results of statistical analyses showed that there was a negative medium level correlation between stride length and sprint time in 15m (r = -.484) while there was a negative strong correlation between stride length and step frequency (r = -.880). There was a positive strong correlation between step frequency and sprint time in 15m (r =.751), 20m (r =.691), 25m (r =.632) and 40m (r =.635) while a positive medium level correlation with sprint time in 35m (r =.460). Conclusion: Stride length is more determinative than step frequency especially in short distance races in terms of running performance in young soccer players.Article The biochemical contents and antioxidant activities of four tanacetum L. taxa(Progress in Nutrition, 2021) Emre, İrfan; Kürşat, Murat; Emre, Mustafa Yunus; Okkes, YilmazThe goal of the present study is to determine some of the biochemical compositions and antioxidant capacities of plant extracts in two endemic taxa for Turkey including T. cadmeum (Boiss.) Heywood subsp. orientale Grierson and T. nitens (Boiss. & Noë) Grierson together with T. polycephalum (L.) Sch.Bip subsp. argyrophyllum (K. Koch) Podlech, and T. parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip. The fatty acids were determined by using gas chromatography, while phenolics, lipid soluble vitamins and sterols were determined by using HPLC and radical scavenging activities, total phenolics, and FRAP were determined spectrophotometrically. It was found that Tanacetum taxa have palmitic acid (C16:0), and stearic acid (C18:0) as major saturated fatty acids and linoleic acid (C18:2 n6), α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n3) and oleic acid (C18:1 n9) as principal unsaturated fatty acids. It was found that Tanacetum taxa had more total unsaturated fatty acid contents (60.24±0.3%- 70.54±0.29%) than saturated fatty acids and it was found that T. parthenium had the highest total essential fatty acid composition (58.65%±0.59%). It was also reported that the omega6/omega3 ratio of T. cadmium subsp. orientale (8.22) differed from other taxa in this study. Also, the present study showed that Tanacetum had the lowest amount of lipid soluble vitamins. On the other hand, catechin was found to be the main polyphenolic compound in this study and it was determined that T. parthenium had the highest catechin (4479.1±5.71 µg/mg) and total phenolic contents (324.91±2.01 µgGAE/mg) in this study. Rutin was only determined in two endemic taxa T. cadmeum subsp. orientale (23±0.91 µg/mg), and T. nitens (5.7±0.27 µg/mg). Also, the naringenin, vanillic acid and caffeic acid amounts of the endemic T. cadmeum subsp. orientale and T. nitens were higher than other taxa in the study. In addition, it was determined that Tanacetum taxa had a high stigmasterol content. However, T. parthenium had a higher ergosterol content (271±2.36 µg/mg). It was also found that T. parthenium has highest D2, α-tocopherol, retinol acetate, ergosterol, and stigmasterol contents among the studied taxa. In addition, the study showed that Tanacetum taxa have strong DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. It was concluded that Tanacetum taxa have potent antioxidant capacity.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Investig. ion of the Effect of Beta Source and Phosphors on Photovoltaic Cells(AMER INST PHYSICS, 2017) Yuruk, Reyyan Kayak; Tutunculer, Hayriye; Akkus, B; Oktem, Y; Dogan, GS; Guzelcimen, FIn this study, conversion of kinetic energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to electricity is investigated by using the direct and the indirect conversion methods.

A market survey revealed that 5% of fruit exhibited fruit rot symptoms, a subset of which displayed stem-end rot symptoms, including brown to black lesions extending into the mesocarp, shrivelling and fungal mycelium growth. Fusarium equiseti was identified as the causal agent through morphological characterisation and molecular analysis using PCR amplification and sequencing of translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2) gene sequences, including phylogenetic analysis. Artificial inoculation and subsequent re-isolation confirmed Koch's postulates, verifying F. equiseti as the causal pathogen. This is the first report of F. equiseti causing both fruit rot and stem-end rot on avocado in T & uuml;rkiye, highlighting the need for improved postharvest disease management strategies to reduce economic losses in T & uuml;rkiye's avocado industry.Article Raiders of the Sultan in the Theater of Plunder: Tribes and Raiding in Ottoman-Iranian Rivalries(Oriental inst Czech Acad Sci, 2024) Ciftci, ErdalExisting scholarship in Ottoman studies often portrays the tribes in the Ottoman Iranian borderlands as isolated troublemakers in an area characterized by turbulence and banditry, disrupting relations between empires and straining diplomatic ties. This study argues that this perspective underestimates the tribes' interconnectedness with imperial policymaking, particularly how nomadic mobility was instrumentalized as a military asset by both states. Empires frequently militarized and empowered these tribes to align them with their interests, accommodating their cross-border movements and utilizing them as raiders. To illustrate the hegemonic relationship between tribes and state officials, this study delves into and juxtaposes the Ottoman-Iranian wars of 1578-1590 and 1821-1823, periods wherein tribes were overtly enlisted as auxiliary forces alongside regular armies. Raiding emerged as one of the central tactics in these conflicts, transforming the imperial borders into a theater of plunder. The study also reveals how petty raids endured as a means of micro-level territorial assertion among tribes amidst ongoing rivalries between empires, with tribes often functioning as proxies backed by local authorities. The turbulent, nomadic nature of these tribes cannot be attributed solely to their inherent traits, as it is apparent that imperial policies facilitated their role as raiders.Article Arap Edebiyatı Tarihi Yazımının Kuramsal ve Metodolojik Temelleri(Hitit Univ, 2024) Simsek, Sultan; Araz, IsmailThe writing of literary history as a scientific discipline was initiated by Western researchers in the late 18th century, as a result of a modern research endeavor, distinct from the long-standing tradition of literary works. In the modern era, firstly the literature of the history of nations was written. Arabic literary history also benefited from this process, and it is considered one of the earliest examples of literary historiography. In the second half of the 19th century, the works of writers such as Hammer Purgstall (d. 1856) and Alfred von Kremer (d. 1889) on the history of Arabic literature emerged as pioneering studies. The writing process accelerated with Carl Brockelmann's (d. 1956) comprehensive work, leading to the production of numerous Arabic literary history books in both the West and the East, continuing to the present day. While this process contributed to enriching the literature of literary history, it also sparked various theoretical and methodological debates. Since the 19th century, different approaches have been proposed in the writing of Arabic literary history, and there is no theoretical unity in this regard. This situation, which complicates the understanding and interpretation of literary history works, poses an obstacle to developing literary history writing based on scientific criteria. To benefit greatly from reading literary history books, it is crucial to know the authors' perspectives, approaches to the subject, and methods. Aware of this importance, our article focuses on the theoretical and methodological framework used in studies of Arabic literary history. The article examines the writing theories and methods that are often not clearly and explicitly expressed by the authors in the writing of Arabic literary history. However, philosophical differences between the East and the West in literary historiography, the relationship between literature and history, criteria for determining periods, and the ideal method for writing literary history, which is beyond the scope of the article, are not discussed. The main aim of the article is to provide information about the methods and theories applied in Arabic literary history writing, to raise the awareness of researchers about the background of works in this field, offer a more informed reading perspective, and draw attention to the many aspects of the subject that still await further study. Today, despite the numerous studies on Arabic literary history that focus on specific periods, literary figures, and genres, research on theoretical approaches and methodology is almost nonexistent, leaving a significant gap in the field. Our article can be considered a modest step toward filling this gap. To substantiate the conclusions reached in the article, descriptive methods of qualitative research were employed throughout the study, and the obtained data were evaluated by using analytical methods. In this context, the emergence of Arabic literary history and its transmission to the Eastern world were highlighted to provide a better understanding of the scope of the subject. The article discusses how writing of literature history was applied among Arabic literary historians as a theoretical and methodological problem during this transmission process from the West to the East, based on primary sources. At this point, the methodological foundations and areas of influence in Arabic literary history writing were discussed. Additionally, the most widely adopted literary history method and its implications among the methodological problems were examined. As a result of the evaluations, it was determined that the methods followed in the writing of Arabic literary history were highly diverse and that some methods were synthesized. The article concludes that there is a need for indepth new research to evaluate holistically the accumulated knowledge in this area, given the diverse methods employed by literary historians, the complex and multifaceted nature of the field, and the lack of consensus on a single method.Article Evaluation Of The Relationship Between Foreign Trade Liberalization And Unemployment Within The Framework Of The Heterogeneous Firm Model;(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2022) Cirkin, Zeynep; Goksel, TurkmenThis study investigates how foreign trade liberalization affects unemployment by using the Melitz model (2003), which is one of the intra-industry trade models expressing trade between countries with similar technologies, preferences, and cost structures that make up a large part of international trade. The Melitz model (2003) is remodelled by efficiency wage theory to endogenize unemployment. The model is solved by numerical method. It is assumed that market expansion and competition in the market occur simultaneously. The effect of liberalization on unemployment varies depending on which of two factors, market expansion or competition, dominates the other. According to the results, unemployment decreases when market expansion dominates the competition, while unemployment increases if competition dominates market expansion. In addition, it has been observed that there is an increase in the total amount of production, productivity, and unemployment insurance when market expansion is dominant. Also, it has been observed that there is a decrease in the total amount of production, productivity level, and unemployment insurance when competition in the market is dominant.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles from prunus cerasifera pissardii nigra leaf and their antimicrobial activities on some food pathogens(Progress in Nutrition, 2021) Hatipoğlu, AbdulkerimIn this study, a new and easy method for the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with Prunus cerasifera pissardii nigra (PC) leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent was presented. The nanoparticles were demonstrated a characteristic peak at the maximum wavelength of 535 nm with colour change as a result of the ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectrophotometer analysis data. Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyzes revealed that the crystal size of the synthesized AuNPs was below 20 nm and the morphological structure was mostly spherical. The size of the crystal structures of AuNPs was calculated as 17.94 nm from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis data. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy results confirmed the involvement of various biomolecules in the reduction and stabilization of PC-AuNPs. The zeta potential of the synthesized nanomaterial was measured as -27 mV. The average size of AuNPs was determined as 103.8 nm with Zetasizer. It was determined that AuNPs have strong inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Following Electron Impact Excitations of Rn, Ra, Th, U and Pu Single Atom L Sub-Shells Ionization Cross Section Calculations by Using Lotz's Equation(Amer Inst Physics, 2016) Ayinol, M.; Aydeniz, D.shell ionization cross section and Li subshells ionization cross sections of Rn, Ra, Th.

Twelve bread and ten einkorn wheat genotypes were used as plant material and seven drought stress levels were applied based on a three-replicate factorial restricted randomized block design in order to investigate their effects on germination rate (GR), germinating power (GP), coleoptile length (CL), shoot length (SL), root length (RL), shoot root length ratio (SRLR), root fresh weight (RFW), root dry weight (RDW), and root fresh dry weight ratio (RFDWR) during the year 2014-2015. PEG - 6000 was used to evaluate the effect of drought stress under in vitro conditions on the wheat genotypes. The values of all traits were decreased by the increased effect of PEG levels (p = 0.05). The results of the variance analysis showed that the genotypes had significant statistical differences for the examined traits under drought stress (p < 0.05). According to the results of the GGE biplot analysis, of the total variation between the genotypes and traits investigated under drought stress (75.97%), PC1and PC2 represented 51.51% and 24.47%, respectively. In addition, einkorn wheat populations were located in the sector of GR, GP, and SRL, which means that these populations had a greater performance for these traits under drought stress conditions. Bread wheat and einkorn genotypes behaved differently for the traits under drought stress. It is considered that the results of the field and in vivo experiments for cold and drought stress will contribute to producing reliable suggestions.
