Grain yield of 15 durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) genotypes consisting of 13 cultivars and 2 advanced lines, tested in a randomized complete block design with four replications across 8 environments of Central Anatolian Region of Turkey was analyzed using nine parametric stability measures. The objectives were to assess genotype--environment interactions (GEI), determine stable genotypes, and compare mean grain yield with the parametric stability parameters. To quantify yield stability, nine stability statistics were calculated (, α i and λ i ). Yilmaz-98, Cakmak-79, Kiziltan-91, Selcuklu-97 and C-1252 were more stable cultivars, which had 9, 8, 6, 6, 6 out of all 9 stability statistics used, respectively. Especially, among these cultivars, Yilmaz-98 and Cakmak-79 were the most stable cultivars. Furthermore, three-dimensional plots of mean response versus each stability statistic were shown to visually evaluate the yield potential and stability estimates of the genotypes. Genotype mean yield ( -x) was significantly positively correlated to the regression coefficient (b i ), environmental variance and genotype to the environmental effects (α i ), indicating that high grain yielding genotypes had larger values b i , S 2 i , andCV i , α i and b i , were significantly correlated, indicating that they measured similar aspects of stability.

Congenital coronary anomalies are relatively uncommon, with a prevalence varying from 0.3% of autopsy series to 1.3% of angiographic studies We report a case of a conus artery originating from posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery. The anomaly was discovered incidentally during cardiac catheterization. Such an anomaly is identified for the first time.Key Words: Right coronary artery; conus artery; coronary angiography; coronary anomaly.

INTRODUCTIONCongenital coronary anomalies are relatively uncommon, with a prevalence varying from 0.3% of autopsy series (1) to 1.3% of angiographic studies (2). The conus artery supplies coronary blood flow to the conus, or outflow tract, of the right ventricle and is generally considered to be the first branch of the right coronary artery (RCA). On coronary arteriograms, the conus artery is generally viewed in the left anterior oblique (LAO) and right anterior oblique (RAO) projections. Here we describe a previously unreported coronary anomaly.

We evaluated a total of 411 genotypes, including 334 breeding lines with 77 checks from Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Breeding Program of Turkey (BBPT), based upon their grain yield (GY) and quality traits (namely protein content-PC, acid detergent fiber-ADF, thousand kernel weight-TKW, kernel size-KS and test weight-TW), during the 5 consecutive cropping seasons, from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012. Broad-sense heritability (H) values for quality traits were moderate (0.57-0.65), while it was low (0.43) for grain yield. Accordingly, grain physical features (namely TW, KS and TKW) were positively significantly correlated with GY, but negatively significantly correlated with PC. Results of our study showed that selection for GY and quality traits was less efficient than we expected, due to undesirable multi-variate correlations such as GY vs PC and low to moderate H values. Therefore, we tried to put suggestions forward to the BBPT, by following discussing about our ability to select for high GY and acceptable quality in barley.

The purpose of he study was to determine the progress of winter wheat cultivars developed during the last 45 years under the ecological conditions of Kirsehir province located in central Anatolia. A field trial arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications was conducted in 2017 and 2018.As a result of two years of research, it has been determined that cultivars have a grain yield between 2490 kg ha -1 (Gun 91) -3620 kg ha -1 (Karahan 99) and fertile spikes number per square meter 377 -552, grain number per spike 28.81 -41.83, grain weight per spike 1.07 g -1.52 g, harvest index 26.17% -37.07%. The annual yield increase of the cultivars with genetic progress was found to be 10,29 kg ha -1 . While it was determined genetic progress in 6 of total 11 traits, was observed negative genetic change in the other traits. Specifically, it was determined that the genetic improvement seen in the grain number per spikelet, grain number per spike, grain weight per spike, biomass yield and harvest index characteristics were found to contribute to the increase in grain yield. Characteristics seen genetic progress, have come to the forefront as selection parameters that wheat breeders working on rainfed conditions should emphasize. In addition, Karahan 99, Nacibey, Bayraktar 2000, Izgi 2001 and Bagci 2002 cultivars were determined as cultivars that could be recommended to be grown in dry environments of in winter region of Turkey.

ÖzBu çalışmanın amacı Orta Anadolu Bölgesi'nde tane doldurma döneminde görülebilen kuraklık tipinin modellendiği kontrollü tarla şartlarında, ekmeklik buğday genotiplerinin verim ve bazı fenolojik özelliklerinin tepkilerinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışma, Konya'da 2009-2010 yetiştirme yıllarında yağmur korunakları altında, tesadüf bloklarında bölünmüş parseller deneme deseninde, dört tekerrürlü; ana parsellerde uygulamalar (S 1 : Tane doldurma dönemi kuraklığı, S 2 : Tam sulu koşullar) ve alt parsellerde 10 ekmeklik buğday genotipi kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, genotiplerin verim ve fenolojik özelliklerinin tane doldurma dönemindeki kuraklığa tepkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada tane verimi, uygulama ortalamaları olarak 579 kg da -1 (S 1 ) ile 760 kg da -1 (S 2 ) arasında ve stres uygulamaları üzerinden genotiplerde 595 kg da -1 (Göksu 99) ile 725 kg da -1 (BDME 09/1K) arasında değişmiştir. Stres uygulaması, sulu uygulama ile karşılaştırıldığında, tane dolum dönemi kuraklık uygulamasında tane verimi %23.9 oranında azalmıştır. KHİ değerleri 0.58 (Bayraktar 2000) ile 1.73 (Göksu 99) arasında değişmiştir. Bayraktar 2000 çeşidi tane dolum kuraklığına en toleranslı çeşit olarak belirlenmiştir. Fenolojik özelliklerin uygulama ortalamaları olarak, başaklanma süresi 168.6 gün ile 171.9 gün, çiçeklenme süresi 174.2 gün ile 178.1 gün, fizyolojik olum süresi 208.9 gün ile 218.1 gün ve tane dolum süresi 34.7 gün ile 39.9 gün arasında değişim göstermiştir. Stres uygulaması sulu koşullara göre, başaklanma süresinde %1.9; çiçeklenme süresinde %2.2; fizyolojik olum süresinde %4.2; tane dolum süresinde %13 kısalmaya sebep olmuştur. Tane dolum süresi uzun olan çeşitlerin verim değerlerinin yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada tane doldurma dönemi kurak stresi altında ekmeklik buğday genotiplerinde kuraklığa adaptasyonu desteklediği belirlenen tane doldurma süresi parametresi, geç dönemde etkili olan kuraklık için, toleranslı genotip geliştirmek amacıyla, seleksiyon parametresi olarak kullanılabilir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Kuraklık, buğday, fenolojik özellikler, seleksiyon, parametre The Response on the Drought Stress Yield and Phenological Properties of Bread Wheat Genotypes in Grain Filling Stage AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the responses of the grain yield and some phenological properties of bread wheat genotypes under controlled field conditions which can be seen in grain filling stage in Central Anatolia Region. This research was conducted to observe the drought resistance of ten bread wheat genotypes at grain filling period. Split-plot in randomized complete block design techniques were used with four replicates in 2009-2010 under rain shelter in Konya Province. Two different irrigation treatments were done in grain filling period drought (S1) and in full irrigation conditions (S2). Results showed that grain yield values varied from 579 (S 1 ) to 760 kg da -1 (S 2 ) under drought treatments, and from 595 (Göksu 99) to 725 kg da -1 (BDME 09/1K). If the means of drought treatment was compared with ir...
