Öğe Bio-Fertilizers Reduced the Need for Mineral Fertilizers in Soilless-Grown Capia Pepper(Mdpi, 2023) Dasgan, Hayriye Yildiz; Yilmaz, Mehmet; Dere, Sultan; Ikiz, Boran; Gruda, Nazim S.Soilless cultivation is extensively used in the greenhouse industry. Recently, hydroponic cultivation of capia pepper has become popular among growers. Capia pepper is harvested at the red maturity stage, and intensive mineral fertilizers are usually used for soilless cultivation. This study was performed in a greenhouse during spring under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The effects of bacteria and mycorrhiza on capia pepper plant growth, yield, fruit quality, and nutrition were investigated. Furthermore, the synergistic effects of these two bio-fertilizers were investigated. Our objective was to replace 20% of mineral fertilizers with bio-fertilizers in a soilless culture system. The use of 80% mineral fertilizers, in combination with mycorrhiza and bacteria, provided a 32.4% higher yield than the control (100% mineral fertilizer without bio-fertilizers). Moreover, the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in the leaves of pepper plants fed with the reduced mineral fertilizers combined with bio-fertilizers were higher than that of the control. In addition, fruit parameters, such as fruit weight, diameter, volume, the electric conductivity of the fruit juice, and total soluble solids, were significantly higher in this treatment compared to the control. Using 80% mineral fertilizer with only bacteria provided a 24.2% higher yield than the control. In conclusion, mineral fertilizers were successfully reduced by 20% using bacteria and mycorrhiza. These results provide an eco-friendly approach to a sustainable environment.Öğe Does drought increase the antioxidant nutrient capacity of tomatoes?(Wiley, 2022) Dere, Sultan; Kusvuran, Sebnem; Dasgan, Hayriye YildizTomato fruit has long been regarded as a valuable functional food due to its potential role in the prevention of chronic diseases and thus its positive impacts on human health. In this study, the effect of drought under the climate change threat on increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and non-enzymatic antioxidants in terms of functional food properties of tomato fruits was investigated. Nine drought-tolerant tomato genotypes and two commercial cultivars were grown in an open field that was well watered and exposed to drought stress conditions. The biochemical effects of drought stress in fruit were determined by evaluating the fruits' contents of lipid peroxidation, vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), total phenols, total flavonoids, lycopene, and beta-carotene and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR), total soluble solids and pH. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between tomato genotypes in the antioxidant capacity. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, total phenolics, flavonoids, TSS and beta-carotene increased, in tomato fruit under drought. However, pH was slightly decreased. A slight increase in lycopene was observed. The activities of the antioxidative enzymes SOD, CAT, APX and GR were significantly increased in tomato fruit under drought. The increased antioxidant capacity of drought-tolerant tomatoes has been found promising in terms of human nutrition under the threat of climate change.Öğe Effects of High-Temperature Stress during Plant Cultivation on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Fruit Nutrient Content(Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Dasgan, Hayriye Yildiz; Dere, Sultan; Akhoundnejad, Yelderem; Arpaci, Bekir BulentAgriculture is among the sectors that will be impacted first and most by the adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, developing new high-temperature tolerant varieties is an essential economic measure in adaptation to near-future climate change. Likewise, there is a growing interest in increasing the antioxidant content of crops to improve food quality and produce crops with high-stress tolerance. Tomato is the most grown and consumed species in horticultural plants; however, it is vulnerable to 35 degrees C and above high temperatures during cultivation. This study used twenty high-temperature tolerant, two susceptible genotypes, and two commercial tomato varieties in the open field. The experiment was applied under control and high-temperature stress conditions based on a randomized block design with 4 replications and 12 plants per repetition. The study investigated the fruit's selected quality properties and antioxidant compounds, namely, total soluble solutes (Brix), titratable acidity, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), lycopene, beta-carotene, and vitamin C, along with total phenols and total flavonoids under control and stress conditions. As a result, in general, total soluble solutes, titratable acidity, total phenol, and vitamin C contents under high-temperature conditions were determined to increase in tolerant tomato genotypes, while decreases were noted for pH, EC, total flavonoids, lycopene, and beta-carotene. However, different specific responses on the basis of genotypes and useful information for breeding studies have been identified. These data on fruit nutrient content and antioxidants will be helpful when breeding tomato varieties to be grown in high-temperature conditions.Öğe Use of Mycorrhiza to Reduce Mineral Fertilizers in Soilless Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Cultivation(Univ Agr Sci & Veterinary Med Cluj-Napoca, 2019) Dere, Sultan; Coban, Ayse; Akhoundnejad, Yelderem; Ozsoy, Suleyman; Dasgan, Hayriye YildizIntensive use of mineral fertilizers in soilless growing systems can have adverse effects on the environment and human health and could be economically expensive. Aim of this study was whether it can be reduced mineral nutrients in soilless grown melon by using mycorrhizae inoculation. The experiment has been carried out in the early spring growing period in a greenhouse in the Mediterranean climate. The eight treatments have been applied: (1) 100% Full nutrition (control), (2) 100% Full nutrition+mycorrhiza, (3) 80% nutrition, (4) 80% nutrition+mycorrhiza (5) 60% nutrition (6) 60% nutrition+mycorrhiza (7) 40% nutrition, (8) 40% nutrition+mycorrhiza. Effects of mycorrhiza on melon plant growth, yield, fruit quality, and leaf nutrient concentrations were investigated. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization is accompanied by plant growth increases in reduced nutrient levels. The mycorrhiza inoculation had a significant enhancing effect on total yield in soilless grown melon plants. The highest increasing effect on melon yield was observed in the 80% nutrient+mycorrhiza, and AM- inoculated plants produced 49.5% higher melon yield (12.4 kg m(-2)) than that of control plants without mycorrhizae (8.3 k gm(-2)). AM-inoculation was also able to establish an improvement in Brix and EC of melon fruit. In the nutrient contents of leaves, there were slight increases in AM-inoculated plants, except P. The P content was significantly increased in AM-inoculated 80% nutrient plants as comparison to that of its control.
