Lentil (Lens culinaris M.) Pollen Morphology and Affecting Factors

Abstract

Lentil, which is an important protein plant for our country, is an important cold season legume grown in a wide area in the Indian subcontinent, western Asia, some parts of Africa and southern Europe. Lentil breeding activities under the titles of yield, quality and resistance continue in international and national public and private sectors. With the classical breeding methods applications, the desired variations cannot be achieved in the lentil plant, especially since it has a narrow genetic base. For this reason, these variations are tried to be provided with biotechnological applications and purification can be achieved in a short time in terms of desired properties. Anther, pollen and ovary cultures, which are among these biotechnological applications, are used in breeding studies. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the environment (temperature, etc.) and cultural practices (variety, irrigation, fertilization, sowing time, location, etc.) have important effects on the development of such generative structures. It increases the chances of success of biotechnological applications in conditions where environmental and cultural application is optimum. This review was made in order to reveal the relationship between the environment and cultural practices during the formation of the pollen used in breeding studies, specifically for the lentil plant.

Mercimek (Lens culinaris M.) Polen Morfolojisi ve Etkileyen Faktörler

Abstract

Ülkemiz açısından önemli bir protein bitkisi olan mercimek Hindistan alt kıtasında, batı Asya'da, Afrika'nın bazı bölgelerinde ve güney Avrupa'da geniş bir alanda yetiştirilen önemli bir soğuk mevsim baklagilidir. Verim, kalite ve dayanıklılık başlıkları altında mercimek ıslah çalışmaları uluslararası ve ulusal resmi ve özel sektörlerde olmak üzere devam etmektedir. Klasik ıslah yöntemleri uygulamaları ile mercimek bitkisinde özellikle de dar genetik tabana sahip olması nedeni ile arzu edilen varyasyonlara ulaşamamaktadır. Bu nedenle biyoteknolojik uygulamalar ile bu varyasyonlar sağlanmaya çalışılmakta ve kısa sürede arzu edilen özellik bakımından saflaştırmalara gidilebilmektedir. Bu biyoteknolojik uygulamalardan olan anter, polen ve yumurtalık kültürü ıslah çalışmalarında kullanılmaktadır. Literatürler incelendiğinde bu tür generatif yapıların gelişiminde çevre (sıcaklık vb.) ve kültürel uygulamalar (çeşit, sulama, gübreleme, ekim zamanı, lokasyon vb.) önemli etkilerde bulunduğu görülmektedir. Çevre ve kültürel uygulamanın optimum olduğu koşullarda biyoteknolojik uygulamaların başarı şansını arttırmaktadır. Bu derleme, mercimek bitkisi özelinde ıslah çalışmalarında kullanılan polenin teşekkülü esnasında çevre ve kültürel uygulamalar ile olan ilişkisini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
