Evaluation of Advanced Lentil Lines for Diversity in Seed Mineral Concentration, Grain Yield and Yield Components

Abstract

Lentil is one of the most important grain legumes, which plays a significant role in human nutrition and animal feed through the world. In developing countries, the prohibitively high cost of meat has rendered, lentil, with its high seed protein and essential amino acid content, important source of dietary protein. In this research, 181 lentil advanced lines F7 generation of Karacadağ x Silvan and Karacadağ x Çağıl 2004 crosses were evaluated for grain yield, yield components and seed mineral concentrations in two diverse environments in Turkey. Considerable diversity was observed with regard to yield components and seed mineral concentrations in the advanced lentil lines. The greatest phenotypic diversity was observed in the biological yield, number of pods and weight of pods per plant, the number of seeds and weight of seeds per plant, and seed Ca, Zn and Fe concentrations. Grain yield per plant was significantly positively correlated with the biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant, weight of pods per plant, and number of seeds per plant. Plant grain yield and yield components were strongly positively correlated with seed potassium K , calcium Ca , magnesium Mg and zinc Zn concentrations but was negatively correlated with Fe concentration. In conclusion, promising lentil advanced lines for the grain yield, yield components and mineral concentrations could be evaluated for developing new lentil varieties and spesific breeding purposes

Abstract

Mercimek, insan ve hayvan beslenmesi yönünden yemeklik dane baklagiller grubunun en önemli üyelerinden birisidir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde et fiyatının yüksek olması; yüksek protein içeriği ve amino asit kompozisyonu ile mercimeği protein kaynağı olarak ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, Karacadağ x Silvan ve Karacadağ x Çağıl 2004 mercimek melez kombinasyonlarına ilişkin ileri kademedeki F7 181 adet mecimek hattı iki farklı lokasyonda yetiştirilerek, dane verimi, verim komponentleri ve danede mineral madde konsantrasyonu yönünden incelenmiştir. Verim komponentleri ve mineral madde konsantrasyonu yönünden ileri kademedeki mercimek hatları arasında önemli düzeyde varyasyonlar saptanmıştır. Biyolojik verim, bitkide bakla sayısı, bitkide bakla ağırlığı, bitkide tohum sayısı, bitki dane verimi, tohumda kalsiyum Ca , çinko Zn ve demir Fe konsantrasyonu yönünden önemli varyasyonlar tespit edilmiştir. Bitki dane verimi ile biyolojik verim, bitkide bakla sayısı, bitkide bakla ağırlığı ve bitkide dane sayısı arasında önemli pozitif ilişkiler belirlenmiştir. Dane verimi ve verim komponentlerinin danede potasyum K , kalsiyum Ca , magnezyum Mg ve çinko Zn konsantrasyonları ile pozitif, demir Fe konsantrasyonu ile negatif ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, incelenen kırmızı mercimek ileri melez hatları içerisinde dane verimi, verim komponentleri ve mineral madde konsantrasyonu yönünden ümitvar olanların, gelecekte çeşit adayı olabileceği ve ıslah çalışmalarında spesifik amaçlar için kullanılabileceği tespit edilmiştir
