Drought is the major environmental problem limiting the productivity and survival of plant species. Here, previously identified three black poplar genotypes having contrasting response to drought were subjected to gradual soil water depletion in a pot trial to identify their physiological, morphological and antioxidation related adaptations. We also performed a microarray based transcriptome analyses on the leaves of genotypes by using Affymetrix poplar Genome Array containing 56,000 transcripts. Phenotypic analyses of each genotype confirmed their differential adaptations to drought that could be classified as drought escape, avoidance and tolerance. Comparative transcriptomic analysis indicated highly divergent gene expression patterns among the genotypes in response to drought and post drought re-watering (PDR). We identified 10641, 3824 and 9411 transcripts exclusively regulated in drought escape, avoidance and tolerant genotypes, respectively. The key genes involved in metabolic pathways, such as carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis, lipid metabolism, generation of precursor metabolites/energy, protein folding, redox homeostasis, secondary metabolic process and cell wall component biogenesis, were affected by drought stresses in the leaves of these genotypes. Transcript isoforms showed increased expression specificity in the genes coding for bark storage proteins and small heat shock proteins in drought tolerant genotype. On the other hand, drought-avoiding genotype specifically induced the transcripts annotated to the genes functional in secondary metabolite production that linked to enhanced leaf water content and growth performance under drought stress. Transcriptome profiling of drought escape genotype indicated specific regulation of the genes functional in programmed cell death and leaf senescence. Specific upregulation of GTP cyclohydrolase II and transcription factors (WRKY and ERFs) in only this genotype were associated to ROS dependent signalling pathways and gene regulation network responsible in induction of many degrading enzymes acting on cell wall carbohydrates, fatty acids and proteins under drought stress. Our findings provide new insights into the transcriptome dynamics and components of regulatory network associated with drought adaptation strategies. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Drought Forecasting with Time Series and Machine Learning Approaches Evkaya, Ömer Ozan; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (null; 2017-12-08) As a main reason of undesired agricultural, economic and environmental damages, drought is one of the most important stochastic natural hazard having certain features. In order to manage the impacts of drought, more than 100 drought indices have been proposed for both monitoring and forecasting purposes [1], [3]. For different types of droughts, these indices have been used to understand the effects of dry periods including meteorological, agricultural and hydrological droughts in many distinct locations. I...
Population variation in drought resistance and its relationship with adaptive and physiological seedling traits in Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) Kandemir, Gaye; Önde, Sertaç; TEMEL, FATİH; Kaya, Zeki (2017-01-01) Variation in drought resistance and its relationship with adaptive and physiological traits in forest trees are important in choosing suitable seed sources for reforestation and afforestation programs. A common garden experiment using 240 half-sib families originating from coastal and inland populations of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) in Turkey was set up with three replicates. The aims were to determine variation of drought damage, height growth, and phenology among populations and to investigate the re...
Understanding Drought with Copula Functions: Case Study for Konya Province Evkaya, Ömer Ozan; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (null; 2018-10-07) Drought is one of the most drastic and complex natural phenomenon in the world, a major reason for undesired agricultural, economic and environmental damages. For this reason, the objective identification of drought and its characteristics deserve more detailed models. Most of the studies in the literature related to drought monitoring and analysis are based on special widespread quantitative drought indices. On the other hand, the generated drought indices have been derived using only one drought related p...
Antioxidative and physiological responses of two sunflower (Helianthus annuus) cultivars under PEG-mediated drought stress Baloglu, Mehmet Cengiz; Kavas, Musa; Aydin, Gulsum; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yücel, Ayşe Meral (2012-01-01) Drought stress is one of the most important yield-reducing factors in crop production. Sunflower, an oilseed crop, is severely affected by abiotic stress. In this study, 2 sunflower cultivars (Musala and Aydin) were evaluated in terms of various biochemical and physiological responses under 2 different polyethylene glycol-mediated drought stress conditions. Stress-determining parameters such as malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and proline contents were determined. Both cultivars showed simil...
Bayesian estimation of crop yield function: drought based wheat prediction model for tigem farms Yıldırak, Şahap Kasırga; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep; Mermer, Ali (2015-12-01) Drought is one of the biggest threats that affects agriculture. Based on recent climatic observations and future projections, drought continues to increase its harmful impact on agricultural productivity especially in the arid areas of Turkey. Wheat farming in these arid and semi-arid areas such as Central Anatolia depends heavily on precipitation, thus monitoring for drought is needed. The timing of precipitation is also as important as its quantity. This study makes use of a crop and location specific mod...
