The apparent effects on stress markers (malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide radical (O2 center dot-) content), as well as changes in germination and physiological parameters (radicle and plumula weight and length measurements), were investigated. TiO2NP pretreatment caused an increase in radicle length and plumula fresh weight for the Balci cultivar under salinity. Furthermore, plumula dry weight was alleviated with TiO2NP pretreatment for both cultivars. TiO2NP pretreatment improved plumula dry and fresh weights for both cultivars under heat stress. In addition, MDA content decreased for both cultivars under heat stress but only for Balci under salt stress. The amount of O2 center dot- radicals positively affected only the radicle for both cultivars under heat stress. This study is the first to document the alleviation of salt stress damage for the Balci safflower cultivar, and protection for both Balci and Dincer cultivars under heat stress, using 200 ppm TiO2NP pretreatment.Öğe EVALUATION OF YIELD AND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL SUNFLOWER (Helianthus annuus L.) VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN SEMI-ARID IRRIGATED CONDITIONS IN THE NORTHEAST OF TURKEY(Soc Field Crop Sci, 2023) Gul, Volkan; Gidik, Betul; Sefaoglu, FiratSunflower, an oil plant grown in many parts of the world, is capable of growing in many different climatic conditions. It is of great importance to carry out studies on the adaptation of new varieties and to determine the varieties suitable to the ecology of the region in areas where sunflower cultivation is intense. This study was carried out to determine yield and quality characteristics of some sunflower cultivars (SANBROMR, P63LE113, 11TR077, ESNIEGARA, ADELYA, and DERAY) under Bayburt providence conditions of Turkey in 2020-2021. It has been determined that there are significant differences between the cultivars for the traits examined. The highest average seed yield (4194.2 kg ha-1) and average linoleic acid content (65.09%) were found for BOSFORA. The highest average oil content ESNIEGARA (48.78%) and average oil yield respectively were obtained from ESNIEGARA (186.02 kg ha-1) and BOSFORA (182.93 kg ha-1) varieties and the highest average oleic acid content was obtained from 11TR077 variety (41.78%). The results of this study emphasized the importance of varieties in sunflower growing. BOSFORA and ESNIEGARA varieties had high yield and quality characteristics in the ecologies of a semi-arid climate.Öğe Performance of organic manures alone or combined with chemical fertilizers in increasing growth, yield, and nutritional quality of potatoes in the Eastern part of Turkiye(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2024) Kurt, Gunes; Ozturk, Erdogan; Sefaoglu, Firat; Gul, Volkan; Toktay, Zehra; Mosber, GoltayThis study aimed to determine the effects of different types of fertilizers (organic and inorganic fertilizers) on plant growth, yield, and yield components of potatoes grown in the high-altitude plateau of eastern Turkiye in 2017 and 2019. In the experiment, single or combined doses of nitrogen (N; as ammonium sulfate) and phosphorus (P; as triple super phosphate) as inorganic fertilizers and leonardite (L) and vermicompost (V) fertilizers as organic fertilizers were used. In both years, different fertilizer treatments significantly affected plant growth, yield, and yield components. Tuber yield per hill (941.0 g), marketable tuber yield (32.71 t ha(-1)), total tuber yield (37.84 t ha(-1)), specific gravity (1. 077 g cm(-3)), chip productivity (35.9%), starch (13.03%) and protein (11.0%) ratios increased when N fertilizer was used in combination with vermicompost or leonardite. N fertilizer combined with V or L fertilizer increased tuber yield under harsh continental climates, short growth periods, and high altitudes.Öğe The Effect of Different Doses of Salt Stress on Germination and Emergence in Cannabis ( Cannabis sativa L.) Seed Treated with Pre-Salicylic Acid(Inst Tecnologia Parana, 2024) Gul, Volkan; Sefaoglu, Firat; Cetinkaya, Hatice; Dinler, Burcu SeckinIt is known that salinity stress, one of the abiotic stress factors, significantly limits the germination, growth, development, and crop yield of plants. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity (control, 50, 100 ve 150 mM) on seed germination and the effect of salicylic acid (control, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 ve 1.00 mM) on seed germination to improve salt tolerance in cannabis seeds. The physiological characteristics of the plant, such as germination percentage, germination duration, germination index, radicle length, plumule length, wet radicle weight, dry radicle weight, wet plumule weight, and dry plumule weight, were analyzed. Depending on the salinity application dose, it was observed that there was a significant decrease in the germination parameters of cannabis seeds compared to the control. It was observed that salicylic acid treatments under salinity stress positively affected all the characters examined and reduced germination arrest due to increasing concentration levels. Although it is recommended to prepare seeds with 0.5 mM salicylic acid pre-application dose against salt stress of the cannabis plant,it is essential to expand the studies on its transfer to practice. As a result, salicylic acid will provide positive results that can be transferred to practice by increasing the resistance of cannabis plants against salinity, especially in agricultural soils with salt problems, as it will be more sensitive to pests and diseases.Öğe THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT STORAGE DURATION PERIODS AFTER HARVESTING IN A SEMI-ARID ENVIRONMENT ON THE QUALITY COMPONENTS IN SUGAR BEET(Soc Field Crop Sci, 2024) Yildiz, Umut; Ozturk, Erdogan; Sefaoglu, Firat; Gul, Volkan; Toktay, ZehraThe storage of the harvested sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) before the processing stage is crucial, particularly regarding quality and durability. To maintain the quality of the beet prior to processing, appropriate storage conditions must be provided. Although siloing is a standard method for beet storage, this process may have some negative effects. Given the limited information on the impact of siloing on yield and quality, it is essential to determine the optimal duration of siloing. This study investigated the effect of different siloing periods on the root and weight and quality criteria of sugar beet in 2020 and 2021. Four siloing periods (immediately after harvest, ten days after harvest, 20 days after harvest, and 30 days after harvest) were analyzed. The siloing periods significantly affected both the root weight and quality criteria in both years of research. It was determined that the examined characteristics were significantly influenced by the treatments, with weight loss, dry matter content, sugar content, and sugar yield of roots increasing with the length of the siloing period. The results highlight the importance of the waiting time during the siloing period for sugar beet stored in silos after harvest. To minimize losses in the examined characteristics, it is recommended that the processing occur immediately after harvest. If it must be delayed processing is recommended between 10-20 days post-harvest.Öğe The Effect of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Varieties Grown Under Semi-Arid Conditions in Turkey's Eastern Anatolia Region on Yield and Quality(Springer, 2026) Bagci, Ikram; Gul, Volkan; Sefaoglu, Firat; Lan, Yuzhou; Coban, FurkanGlobal climate change, which is increasingly evident today, leads to significant fluctuations in the yield and quality parameters of sugar beet varieties, particularly due to its direct impact on semi-arid regions. Therefore, the adaptation capacity of varieties especially in the semi-arid areas of eastern regions and their responses to drought and temperature stress are of critical importance. This study was conducted during the 2022-2023 growing seasons to evaluate the yield and quality performance of ten sugar beet varieties (Seranada, Lider, Mohican, Terronova, Aranka, Turbata, Bernache, Setenil, Tisserin, and Chevalier) within a continental agro-ecological zone characterized by high altitude and a semi-arid climate. The results revealed significant differences among the varieties in terms of all examined traits. The highest root yield was obtained from Chevalier (95.30 ton/ha) and Mohican (94.17 ton/ha), while Tisserin produced the lowest (71.34 ton/ha). In terms of sugar yield, Terronova ranked highest (16.18 ton/ha), whereas Tisserin (12.44 ton/ha) and Setenil (12.34 ton/ha) showed the lowest performances. The Lider variety recorded the highest sugar content (18.22%), indicating its potential as a quality-oriented genotype. Overall, Mohican and Terronova demonstrated the most favorable responses under semi-arid conditions. These findings underscore the importance of regional variety testing for identifying high-yielding and high-quality sugar beet genotypes, especially in environments affected by altitude, climate variability, and soil characteristics.Öğe YIELD AND QUALITY PERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT ROW SPACINGS ON CORIANDER GENOTYPES IN SEMI-ARID CONDITIONS(Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2026) Kalkan, Zeynep; Ozturk, Erdogan; Sefaoglu, Firat; Gul, Volkan; Polat, Taskin; Toktay, Zehra; Mosber, GoltayIncreased plant population causes more in-row stress in plants, potentially reducing yield. Narrow row spacing can reduce stress by increasing plant-to-plant spacing within a row. Therefore, it is important to standardize plant row spacing according to various characteristics to achieve higher yield and quality. The purpose of the 2014-2015 study was to ascertain the impact of varying sowing distances (20, 30, 40, and 50 cm) between rows on the yield and agronomic traits of coriander genotypes (Gamze, Kudret, Telci). Four replications of the field research were set up using a Randomized Blocks Experimental Design. The results indicated that genotype, row spacing, and the genotype x row spacing interaction had a statistically significant impact on seed output, but the years had no discernible influence on seed yield. The production of seed and oil decreased as row spacing increased, while oil content increased. With 20-40 cm row spacing and 1683.4-1846.5 kg da(-1), the genotypes of Kudret and Telci produced the maximum seed production. Although the decrease in the number of branches and umbrellas in narrow row spacing had a negative effect on seed yield, the increase in the number of seeds per umbrella and the number of plants per unit area led to an increase in seed yield. When evaluated based on genotypes, although the Kudret and Telci genotypes gave the best results in terms of seed yield, the Kudret genotype gave the best results regarding essential oil ratio and essential oil yield.Öğe Yield Performance and Oil Composition of Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius L.) Cultivars Under Semi-Arid Conditions in Northern Türkiye(Springer, 2025) Cosar, Ibrahim; Gul, Volkan; Sefaoglu, FiratThe shortage of vegetable oil in Turkey is escalating daily. Increasing the production of safflower oil seeds, which are particularly adapted to semi-arid climatic conditions, could reduce dependence on foreign sources for vegetable oil. In this study, the yield and quality characteristics of eight safflower varieties were evaluated under semi-arid ecological conditions in northern Turkey. Field trials were conducted over two years (2020-2021) with three replications, following the ''Randomized Block Experiment Design''. Significant differences were observed between the varieties in terms of the examined parameters. The highest average grain yield (1730.9 kg ha-1) was obtained from the G & ouml;kt & uuml;rk variety, the highest oil content (30.7%) from the Balc & imath; variety, and the highest oil yield (470.1 kg ha-1) from the Olas variety. The highest oleic acid content (50.14% +/- 3.9) was obtained from the Koc variety, and the highest stearic acid content (2.68% +/- 0.1) was obtained from the Hasankendi variety. The linoleic acid (77.71% +/- 0.4) and palmitic acid (5.92% +/- 0.1) ratios were found to be higher in the Dincer variety compared to other varieties. The research highlights the importance of genotypes in asparagus. It demonstrates that the G & ouml;kt & uuml;rk and Olas varieties stand out in terms of yield and yield components in semi-arid ecosystems. These results provide variety-specific information for regional adaptation in safflower breeding and under challenging climatic conditions.
