Determination of Morphological and Biochemical Responses of Prunus Cerasifera Myrobolan 29C Rootstock to Stepwise Increasing NaCl Stress Under in Vitro Culture Conditions Uyduran, Elif; Şan, Bekir; Çelik, Civan; Doğan, Meral; Yıldız, Hasibe; Vildan Pepe, Ayşe; Seraj, Nasir Ahmad This study aimed to evaluate the morphological and biochemical responses of the clonal rootstock Prunus cerasifera Myrobolan 29C to stepwise increasing NaCl doses (target levels: 0, 40, 80, 120, and 160 mM) under in vitro culture conditions. Morphological assessments included regeneration rate, injury severity, shoot and leaf number, shoot length, and shoot fresh weight. Biochemical analyses comprised the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT), as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) level, proline accumulation, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and total protein content. With increasing salinity doses, regeneration and vegetative growth parameters generally decreased; growth indicators were relatively preserved under the lower doses, whereas declines became more pronounced under the higher doses (120-160 mM NaCl). Biochemical responses suggested activation of salinity-associated defense responses, as reflected by increased proline accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activities, and total phenolic and flavonoid contents, particularly under the higher doses. In contrast, total protein content decreased at higher salinity, and elevated MDA levels indicated enhanced oxidative damage under severe conditions. Overall, the results indicate that Myrobolan 29C exhibits a limited capacity to maintain growth under low-to-moderate salinity, while growth and tissue integrity are more strongly constrained under severe salinity in in vitro culture.

Statistical modeling applications to mitigate the effects of climate change on quality traits of cereals: A bibliometric approach Akın, Melekşen; Eyduran, Sadiye Peral; Rakszegi, Marianna; Yıldırım, Kubilay; Rocha, João Miguel Agricultural production is highly dependent on climate conditions. Cereal yield and quality attributes are expected to vary depending on climate change. Climate alteration is a multifaceted issue which requires complex solutions. Accurate modeling and prediction of climate change impacts on crop production can help build efficient agronomic approaches to cope with this complicated problem. Various statistical methods started to be utilized in modeling and prediction of climate change effects on plant production. Bibliometric analysis is a powerful tool to quantify scientific production, quality and impact. This technique also provides readers with full information related to intellectual, conceptual and social structures of a certain area together with its evolution over time. We used the Web of Science database to extract the relevant literature on modeling applications to mitigate the effects of climate change on quality traits of cereals. Our results projected an upward publication trend with considerable spikes in 2018 and 2020. Although the topic has flourished in recent years, the literature on the field is still fragmented. This fact supports the need for systematization of the literature as we aim in this paper. The study results provide a holistic overview of the fragmented literature on the field by revealing research trends and hidden network patterns between scientific actors. In this way, it is a useful source for scholars interested on the topic to find new collaborations and future research directions.

Field management practices to produce nutritional and healthier minor crops Orhun, Gül Ebru; Maqbool, Amir; Akın, Melekşen; Eyduran, Sadiye Peral; Rakszegi, Marianna Minor crops species are one of the basic sources of essential nutrients required in human and animal nutrition. Field management practices play crucial role in crop production affecting yield and nutritional quality. A wide range of genetic and agronomic practices are adopted to achieve optimal yield and quality which are also affected by agro-climatic conditions. Overuse of NPK fertilizers and inorganic forms of micronutrients may have adverse effects on soil pH, beneficial microbial activity and other soil properties leading to poor yield and nutritional quality of crop species. Tillage, among the field management practices, plays an important role in nutrient availability by decreasing soil compactness and bulk density. In modern agriculture different tillage conditions are reported to increase the disease spread in crop areas as well. Keeping in view this reason, it is necessary to opt for the optimal and best tillage conditions. To cope with the aforementioned problems, appropriate field management practices are essential for good crop yield and quality. In this chapter we have summarized the effect of field management practices on nutritional composition and crop health of minor crops including oat, rye, triticale, and spelt.
