The changes of fruit quality parameters at using of different eggplant rootstock/scion combinations which growing under salt and drought stress

Abstract

Effects of drought and salt stress on fruit quality in grafted plants, which salt and drought tolerance Mardin Kızıltepe (MK), Burdur Merkez (BM) and sensitive Kemer (K), Artvin Hopa (AH) as scion genotypes were grafted on the salt tolerance commercial eggplant as rootstocks (Köksal and Vista). This study was carried out in glasshouse where controlled temperature and humidity. For drought stress, plant-available water, 50% was consumed for irrigation. The salinity level determinated as 6 dS m^-1 (EC) with NaCl. The end of the experiment, fruit dry weight (DW), fruit juice EC level, titratable acidity (TA), soluble solid content (SSC), vitamin C (Vit C) contents were investigated. These parameters values were increased with drought and salinity; however fruit pH level was decreased. In the grafted plants on Köksal and Vista rootstock, fruit juice EC level, soluble solid content and Vit C content increased under drought conditions compared to control plants. As a result, using of tolerance rootstock in grafting was found effectively improving of fruit quality under drought condition in eggplant.

Tuzluluk ve su noksanlığı stresi altında yetiştirilen farklı patlıcan anaç/kalem kombinasyonlarında bazı meyve kalite özelliklerine ait değişimler

Abstract

Bu çalışma; tuza toleransı yüksek ticari patlıcan anaçları (Köksal ve Vista) üzerine kurağa ve tuza tolerant Mardin Kızıltepe (MK) ve Burdur Merkez (BM) ve hassas Kemer (K) ve Artvin Hopa (AH) kalemler aşılanarak ve aşılanmadan oluşan patlıcan bitkileri, kuraklık ve tuz stresi altında meyve kalite özellikleri bakımından incelenmiştir. Araştırma sıcaklık ve nem kontrolünün sağlandığı cam serada yürütülmüştür. Kuraklık stresi, saksılarda yarayışlı su seviyesinin %50 düzeyinde tutulması ile sağlanmıştır. Tuz stresi ise elektriksel iletkenlik (EC) 6 dS m^-1 olan ve NaCl ile hazırlanmış su kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Kuraklık ve tuz stresi ortamında yetiştirilen bitkilerden elde edilen meyveler bazı meyve kalite özellikleri bakımından değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre meyve kuru ağırlığı (MKA), meyve suyu EC düzeyi, titre edilebilir asitlik miktarı (TA), suda çözünebilir madde miktarı (SÇKM), C vitamini (Vit C) miktarı kuraklık ve tuz etkisi ile artmış ve pH düzeyi azalmıştır. Kuraklık ve tuz stresi altında aşısız bitkilerde kuru ağırlık düzeyinde artış meydana gelirken; anaç kullanımı meyve suyu EC düzeyi, SÇKM ve Vit C içerikleri kuraklık stresi koşullarında kontrol bitkilerine oranla artış göstermiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, kuraklık stresi altında patlıcanda tolerant anaç üzerine aşılamanın meyve kalitesini iyileştirme üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
