A total of 38 eggplant genotypes, of which 32 were heirloom accessions collected from different regions of Burdur province five were different local genotypes from other provinces, and one was a cultivar, were used as reference in this study. The phylogenetic relationships among these heirlooms were evaluated using 40 morphologic descriptors and five randomly amplified polymorphic RAPD markers. The horizontal dendrograms were created by using UPGMA with both morphologic and molecular data. Burdur heirloom accessions showed high genetic diversity based on morphological and molecular data. The genetic similarity rates ranged from 0.29 to 0.91 according to the morphological data, and ranged from 0.84 to 0.98 according to the molecular data. Molecular data generated by RAPD method, compared to morphological data, were insufficient to reveal genetic diversity. Therefore, in order to confirm genetic variations, studies based on other molecular methods are necessary. The regional genetic populations include a wide eggplant genetic diversity which can be good source for the breeding studies performed in the future.
Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivation is an important part of vegetable production in Turkey. It is highly affected by abiotic stress factors such as low temperatures during growth and development. The present study was aimed to improve new hybrid varieties with high quality and fruit setting under undesirable environmental conditions in eggplant. The 39 inbred lines were developed from eggplant genepool by using pedigree breeding method at the Bati Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute. They were characterized morphologically and evaluated for phylogenetic relationship among them. Selected seven lines were crossed each other to obtain F1 hybrids. Thirteen hybrids from these crosses were examined for their rate of heterosis and heterobeltiosis. These hybrids were not suitable for market demands although F1 hybrids including P350 as parental line had high heterosis rate. Oval fruit shaped P350 inbred line as female parent showed good performance and crossed with long fruit shaped P599 inbred line. The resultant F1 hybrid cultivar higher yielding, suitable for production under greenhouse and highly adaptable was registered with the name of BATEM FILIZI. It is recommended that this hybrid can be used in greenhouse production especially in single crop season.
Local authorities are defined as administrative units that are established to meet the regional and common needs. However, mission and responsibilities undertaken by the local authorities nowadays have gone far beyond the regional needs and have made international relationships indispensable. Sometimes, amicable and trustworthy relationships that cannot be established through national policies are built upon cities and municipalities, paving the way for national policies and promoting economic, commercial, cultural and social relationships through such concepts as mutual cooperation and exchange of experience. Although local authorities engage in theme-oriented, project-based, definite and indefinite cooperation as well as other works related to development and emergency response in their international relationships, sister city relationships and agreements are more in the foreground. Sister city relationships that began in 1950s became more common after 1980s, and increased by diversifying after 2000s along with the development of all means of communication as well as the flows of urbanization, globalization, indigenization and democratization. Turkey went through a similar process, and reforms in the field of local authorities and closer relationship with the European Union accelerated this process. Dr. Öğr. Üye. Salih BATAL , Öğr. Gör. Volkan TOPÇU ensure the continuity of good relations with the countries which have historical, cultural and geographical proximity. However, as all municipalities in our country, the main factor determining the direction of the international relations of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is the policies followed by the central government. It does not seem possible for a municipality to engage in international relations contrary to central government policies or to maintain a relationship that has already begun. As a result of the political tensions that arise between Turkey and the Netherlands, the cancellation of the Town twinnig Agreement signed between Istanbul and Rotterdam in 2015 is the best example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
