Abstract

Rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.) is cultivated throughout the year. Thanks to the rich metabolites of its leaves, it has a wide usage area in pharmacy. Cress (Lepidium sativum) is in the group of annual vegetables and has a herbaceous structure. Due to its fragrant and slightly spicy structure, it is a vegetable that is used as an appetizer. Its seeds and green parts are very beneficial for health. Rocket is a short-day plant whose leaves are considered to be rich in many minerals and vitamins. The present research was conducted to investigate the effects of doses of Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) (0 (control), 15, 30, 45, 60 mg L-1 on the germination and development of seeds of rocket and cress plants grown in pot experiments. In order to determine the effect of DOT on the development and yield of rocket and cress plants, the percentage of germinated seeds, cotyledon length and dry matter amounts were determined. ANOVA test was used to analyze the data obtained in the present study. Tukey test was used to determine which groups were insignificant differences between the groups. Overall, it was seen that there were significant growth differences between the doses used statistically, the dose of 45 mg L-1 DOT positively affected the germination and dry matter content of rocket and cress seeds.

Disodyum oktaborat tetrahidratın (DOT) Roka (Eruca sativa Mill.) ve Tere (Lepidium sativum L.)'de tohum çimlenmesi ve gelişimi üzerine etkileri

Abstract

Roka (Eruca sativa Mill.) yıl boyunca yetiştirilebilen bir bitkidir. Roka, yaprakları birçok mineral ve vitamin açısından zengin olduğu düşünülen kısa gün bitkisidir. Yapraklarının zengin metabolitleri sayesinde eczacılıkta geniş bir kullanım alanına sahiptir. Tere (Lepidium sativum) tek yıllık sebzeler grubundan olup otsu bir yapıya sahiptir. Kokulu ve hafif baharatlı yapısından dolayı meze olarak kullanılan bir sebzedir. Tohumları ve yeşil kısımları sağlık için çok faydalıdır. Bu araştırma, saksıda yetiştirilen roka ve tere bitkilerinin tohumlarının çimlenmesi ve gelişimi üzerine Disodyum oktaborat tetrahidrat (DOT) (0 (kontrol), 15, 30, 45, 60 mg L-1 dozlarının etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. DOT'un roka ve tere bitkilerinin gelişimi ve verimi üzerine etkisini belirlemek için çimlenen tohum yüzdesi, kotiledon uzunluğu ve kuru madde miktarları belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Gruplar arasında hangi grupların anlamlı farklılık gösterdiğini belirlemek için Tukey testi kullanılmıştır. Genel olarak, roka ve tere tohumları için kullanılan dozlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı büyüme farklılıkları olduğu, 45 mg L-1 DOT dozunun çimlenme ve kuru madde içeriğini olumlu etkilediği görülmüştür.
