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

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

Drought stress mitigation with humic acid in two Cucumis melo l. Genotypes differ in their drought tolerance

ABSTRACT Different responses of two melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes (Şemame, drought and salt-tolerant and Ananas, drought and salt-sensitive) to drought stress with or without humic acid (HA) treatment were studied. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions. The experimental design was two factorial randomized block with 4 replicates. HA treatment increased the shoot fresh and dry weights and leaf area of both genotypes under drought stress. HA stimulated accumulation of K and Ca ions, chlorophyll (SPAD value) and antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase-SOD, catalase-CAT and glutathione reductase-GR) in both genotypes. This effect was more clear in the Şemame genotype than in Ananas.As a result, HA treatment has been proved to influence the ability of melon genotypes to cope with drought stress and to increase their tolerance

A population-based study for the standardization of the Turkish version of the modified mini mental state examination (3MS) and assessment of certain environmental risk factors for dementia: methodology and sample characteristics = Modifiye-Mini-Mental Test (3MS) Türkçe Forum'nun Standardizasyonu ve Demansla İlişkili Bazı Çevresel Risk Etmenlerinin Tespiti için Toplum Temelli bir Çalışma: Metodoloji ve Örneklem Özellikleri

OBJECTIVE:Objective assessment of the cognitive status and activities of daily living are required for the diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. No cognitive screening test with normative values exist in Turkey. This study aims to standardize a widely applicable cognitive screening test, determine the activities of daily living in a population-based sample as well as identifying certain individual and environmental risk factors for cognitive disorders. METHOD:Since Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE) is widely used in primary and secondary care and a version for the uneducated exists, an expanded and modified version of MMSE, Modified Mini Mental Test (3MS) was selected for standardization. After the adaptation and pre-testing processes, a population-based study including the individuals over the age of 55 was planned to determine the normative values using the primary health care system in Ankara, Turkey, An age-based stratification procedure was applied. Data were collected through a survey form that was developed to identify certain healthrelated, occupational and environmental risk factors associated with cognitive disorders among with the cognitive evaluation. The study was funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Grant No: 214S048. RESULTS:The population-based study was conducted between January and June 2016. The data of a total of 2158 participants were analyzed. The geographic distribution of the final sample was representative of the total population in Ankara. Of the study sample, 51,3%were female, and 60% had over 5 years of education. Approximately 25% of all participants were 'screening-positive' for neurocognitive impairment and age was inversely related with daily functioning. CONCLUSION:We were able to reach a population-based sample to determine the normative values of a widely applicable cognitive screening test and the activities of daily living as well as evaluate dementia-related risk factors in Turkey. The findings of the study indicated that 3MS-Turkish form is a cognitive secreening test, which can be widely used in Turkey
