    The effect of NaCl priming on salt tolerance in melon seedlings
    (International Society Horticultural Science, 1998) Abak, K.; Büyükalaca, S.; Sivritepe, H. Özkan; Eriş, Atilla; Sivritepe, Nuray; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Bahçe Bitkileri Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0093-9785; AAH-3249-2020; 6505928088; 6602612385; 6507111971
    Melon seeds (cvs. Hasanbey and Kirkagac) primed with 1.0% NaCl were sown in peat medium and irrigated with various NaCl concentrations (0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0%) for 4 weeks to examine their response to salinity. Physical analyses such as total emergence and dry weight were carried out. For each melon cultivar, tolerance ratio and tolerance index were determined on the basis of dry weight. Moreover, physiological changes such as total sugar and proline were also determined to clearly show the response of melon seedlings during salinity stress. It was concluded that priming of melon seeds with NaCl resulted in increased salt tolerance in seedlings of both melon cultivars. Consequently, cv. Kirkagac was more tolerant to salinity than cv. Hasanbey.

    The effects of vertical training on wires on yield and quality in growing of pickling cucumber
    (International Society Horticultural Science, 1998) Abak, K.; Büyükalaca, Saadet; Tokatlı, Nuray; Özgür, Mehmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Bahçe Bitkileri Bölümü.; 55770703900; 36835218100
    In this study, which was carried out between June and October 1995, three pickling cucumber cultivars ("Fancipak F-1", "Ophix F-1" and "Quest F-1") were used. The seeds were sown in plastic trays on 30 June 1995 and planted outdoor on 5 July 1995. The plants were trained on wires of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 cm high. 60 days during the harvests between 2 August and 1 October 1995 fruit weight, fruit height, fruit diameter, head-shape index, soluble solids, colour, first, second and third class fruit weights and total yield on plants were measured. At the end of the study, it was observed that growing pickling cucumbers on wires gave better results when compared with growing them on the ground, from the point of view of yield and quality. 150 cm high wires gave 16 % higher yield than all the other heights. On 150 cm wire height, which gave the highest yield in all the cultivars, the yields obtained in pickling cucumbers were 3.13 kg/m(2) in "cv. Fancipak F-1", 3.46 kg/m(2) in "cv. Ophix F-1" and 3.05 kg/m(2) in "cv. Quest F-1".
