Assessment of Variation in Seed Yield and Related Traits of F3 Sweet Sorghum Population

Öz

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is one of the most important cereals in the world. It contributes significantly to food security, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy production as a low input crop. It is also grown for its sugar, bioenergy, human food, and livestock feed with high seed yield and biomass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in seed yield and related traits, including thousand seed weight (TSW), seed yield (SY), seed length (SL), and width (SW) of the F3 sweet sorghum population (183 genotypes and two parents) in two different locations in Türkiye namely, Antalya (lowland) and Konya (highland). The results revealed that TSW ranged from 12.03 to 48.25 g with an average of 21.57 g in the lowland and 11.75 to 27.30 g with a mean of 20.43 g in the highland. The highest average value of SY was recorded as 3469.6 kg ha-1 in highland and 2435.1 kg ha-1 in lowland. The average SL value was identified 3.64 and 3.83 mm for lowland and highland, respectively, with a genotype-environment interaction was insignificant. The two locations average value of SW was 2.89, ranging from 2.07 (210) to 4.13 mm (271) and the highest value was identified in the genotype 20 (2.95 mm) in highland. The combination of the results from both locations indicated that the highest values of TSW, SY, SL, and SW were observed in genotypes 348 (34.98 g), 109 (4346.6 kg ha-1), 275 (4.36 mm), and 345 (3.38 mm), respectively. An important environmental variation was also observed in TSW, SY, SL and SW. The study showed a significant and positive correlation with a value of 0.32 between SW and SL, as well as a comparatively lower positive correlation of 0.14 between SW and TSW. Our results demonstrated the importance of the influence of the environment on different genotypes, thus enabling assessment and the efficient use of sorghum.

F3 Şeker Sorgum Popülasyonunda Dane Verimi ve İlgili Özelliklerdeki Varyasyonun Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Şeker sorgumu (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) dünyanın en önemli tahıllarından biridir. Gıda güvenliğine, sürdürülebilir tarıma ve yenilenebilir enerji üretimine önemli ölçüde katkı sağlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda şekeri, biyoenerjisi, insan gıdası ve hayvan yemi olarak yüksek tane verimi ve biyokütlesi için yetiştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de Antalya (ova) ve Konya (yayla) olmak üzere iki farklı lokasyonda F3 şeker sorgum popülasyonunda (183 genotip ve 2 ebeveyn) bin dane ağırlığı (TSW), dane verimi (SY), dane uzunluğu (SL) ve genişliği (SW) gibi özelliklerden oluşan dane verimi ve ilişkili özelliklerdeki varyasyonu değerlendirmektir. Sonuçlar, TSW'nin ovadaki ortalaması 21.57 g olup 12.03 ila 48.25 g arasında değiştiği ve yaylada ortalama 20.43 g olup 11.75 ila 27.30 g arasında belirlenmiştir. En yüksek SY ortalama değeri ovada 2435.1 kg ha-1 iken yaylada 3469.6 kg ha-1 olarak kaydedilmiştir. Ortalama SL değeri ova ve yayla için sırasıyla 3.64 ve 3.83 mm olup, genotip-çevre interaksiyonu her iki lokasyon için de önemsiz olmuştur. Iki lokasyonun SW ortalama değeri 2.89 olup, 2.07 (210) ile 4.13 mm (271) arasında değişmekte ve en yüksek değeri ise genotip 20 (2.95 mm)’de yaylada görüşülmüştür. Her iki lokasyondan elde edilen sonuçlarda, en yüksek TSW, SY, SL ve SW değerlerinin sırasıyla 348 (34.98 g), 109 (4346.6 kg ha-1), 275 (4.36 mm) ve 345 (3.38 mm) genotiplerinde belirlenmiştir. TSW, SY, SL ve SW'de önemli bir çevre varyasyonu da gözlenmiştir. Çalışma, SW ve SL arasında 0.32 değerinde önemli ve pozitif bir korelasyonun olduğunu ve SW ile TSW arasında 0.14'lük düşük bir pozitif korelasyon olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuçlarımız, çevrenin farklı genotipler üzerindeki etkisinin önemini göstermiş, böylece sorgumun değerlendirilmesi ve verimli bir şekilde kullanılmasına olanak sağlamıştır.
