Cadmium (Cd) stress is a serious concern in agricultural soils worldwide whereas little is known about the impact of farmyard manure (FYM) alone or combined with limestone, lignite and biochar on Cd concentrations in plants. Wheat was grown in Cd-contaminated field amended with control (T-1), FYM @ 0.1% (T-2), FYM + limestone @ 0.05% each (T-3), FYM + lignite @ 0.05% each (T-4), FYM + biochar @ 0.05% each (T-5) and subsequent rice was grown without additional use of amendments. Soil application of amendments increased straw and grain yield and thousand grain weight being maximum in FYM + limestone treatment. Wheat and rice straw yield increased by 19% and 10% in T-3 than control respectively. Photosynthetic pigments increased with the supply of amendments than control. Amendments decreased Cd concentration, total Cd uptake in straw and grains and Cd harvest index of both crops and the maximum reduction in these parameters was recorded with where FYM + limestone (T-3). Cd concentration in wheat and rice straw decreased by 78.5% and 65% in T-3 than control, respectively. The highest benefit to cost ratio was obtained in FYM + limestone (T-3). Ammonium bicarbonate diethylenetriamine penta acetic acid (AB-DTPA) extractable Cd of the post-harvest soil reduced whereas Cd immobilization index and soil pH increased with the supply of all treatments than control being maximum in T-3. The present study revealed that field management with FYM + limestone increased plant yield and reduced Cd concentrations in grains. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Particle bombardment transformation of some Turkish wheat cultivars with TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB2 genes Battal, A.; BALOĞLU, MEHMET CENGİZ; Kavas, M.; Yücel, Mustafa; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-23) Wheat is one of the most important crop plants in the world.The production of wheat is seriously affected by biotic (pests,bacterial and fungal diseases) and abiotic (drought, salinity andfreezing) stresses. NAC family proteins (NAM/ATAF1-2/CUC2) areplant specific transcription factors and related with development,defense and abiotic stress responses.TaNAC69-1andTtNAMB2genes are the transcription factors from this protein family. Theaim of this study was to transform of some Turkish ...
Soil and water analysis techniques for agricultural production Maral, Nuh; Gökmen, Gülser İnci; Department of Chemistry (2010) In Turkey, usage of increasing amounts of fertilizers and pesticides by some unconscious farmers cause soil pollution and soil infertility for the crop production. Usage of water in excessive amounts and/or in poor quality for irrigation creates problems during the plant production. So in this study, soil and water samples were analyzed by using simple and reliable techniques for the soil and water quality in laboratories of METU and Soil Fertilizer and Water Resources Central Research Institute Laboratory ...
Soil water content estimation from point scale to plot scale Demir, Gökben; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Estimating soil moisture is crucial for understanding vadose zone and surface hydrology dynamics. In this study, soil moisture measurement is investigated by using a range of techniques spanning different spatial scales in a test basin in the south of Turkey. A cosmic ray sensor soil moisture probe (CRS) and a water content reflectometer (CS-616) have been installed for retrieving volumetric soil moisture data continuously. Lab analyses have been performed for calibrating the installed instruments and to ob...
Mining fungal effector candidates in biotrophic plant pathogens : rusts and mildews Umu, Sinan Uğur; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Can, Tolga; Department of Bioinformatics (2012) Biotrophic plant pathogens lead to huge crop losses and they have great economical drawbacks on wheat and barley production. These pathogens rely on formation of haustoria and transfer of effector proteins into the host cells for generating disease. The main role of effector proteins is to disable plant defense mechanisms. Effector proteins contain N-terminal signal peptides and they have little sequence similarity between each other. It is vital to detect as many effector proteins as possible to understand...
Investigation of the role of glutathione S-transferase isozymes in pyrethroid resistance of Helicoverpa armigera in Turkey Konus, Metin; Ugurlu, Sakine; İşcan, Mesude (2009-09-13) Helicoverpa armigera, cotton bollworm, is one of the insects causing severe yield loss of economically important crops including cotton, legumes and vegetables. It has developed resistance against the pyrethroid insecticides that have been introduced into market. Resistance against pyrethroids have been reported in H. armigera populations at various parts of the world, however, except 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene substrate (CDNB), almost no any other substrates used for analysis of the role of glutathione S-...
