Biography of M. Gökgöl

Producing a scientific desertification risk map has arisen as one of the national primary tasks in order to effectively combat desertification in Turkey. In this respect, General Directorate of Combating Desertification and Erosion in cooperation with TÜBİTAK‐BİLGEM, generated the Desertification Model of Turkey (DMT), an original geographical and...

This book presents selected genetic resources and their contribution to sustainable agricultural practices and food systems, yet note that many more could not be covered. Pieces of the story of Turkey’s food and agriculture and environmental heritage can be found in many sources, for instance, in the national periodic country reports under the ausp...

Mirza (Hacızade) Gökgöl (1897–1981) was a leading agro-ecological plant scientist, agronomist and breeder in Turkey. Gökgöl carried out extensive breeding programmes extensively selecting from local plant genetic resources from across Turkey from 1925 till the 1950s. He collected and evaluated cultivars, landraces and wild relatives, predominantly...

Historically barley has been a very important crop in agriculture system of Turkey as it is now. Barley breeding and collecting activities started at the beginning of 20th century in Turkey. During that time huge amount of material piled up at the seed banks and collections of plant breeding institutions through collecting missions and material exc...

Wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) is a progenitor of cultivated barley and it grows naturally in Turkey. Hordeum spontaneum populations are good source of disease resistance. Wild barleys can be used in barley breeding programs in order to obtain disease resistant genotypes. A total of 40 naturally growing Hordeum spontaneum field populations in Şan...

Bu calisma Turkiye’de bitkisel biyolojik cesitliligin uzmanlarca ongorulen sorunlari ve cozum yollarinin belirlenmesi amaciyla yapilmistir. Calisma, Ankara’da Mayis ve Eylul 2015 tarihlerinde 2 kez duzenlenen toplantilara katilan toplam 120 civarindaki katilimcinin gorus ve dusunceleri alinarak belirlenen sorunlar ve bu sorunlarin her biri icin coz...

The responses to multiple stress factors vary from the individual stress. In this respect the response of halophytes is of special interest. The present study was initiated to determine the combined effects of salinity and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced osmotic stresses on the antioxidant defence system of Salvia halophila Hedge (Lamiaceae), an...

Turkey falls within Vavilov's Center of origin and harbors large genetic diversity of several economically important crop species. Wild crop relative, such as wild einkorn, wild emmer, wild barley, wild oats, wild rye and their respective domesticated forms, in addition to a multitude of other crop species, have been cultivated for millennia in sev...

Natural plants in Turkish serpentine soils were surveyed to determine their Ni accumulation capability. Geographic distribution and diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable nickel contents of the western Anatolian serpentine soils and their vegetative contents were studied to find the possible relationships between the phytoavailable...

Aegilops vavilovii (Zhuk.) Chennav., a rare species, was collected from Southeast Anatolia, Turkey. During the field studies of the project "Taxonomic revision of Tribe Triticeae in Turkey", Ae. vavilovii was accidentally recollected from three localities in anliurfa and Mardin provinces in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The main objective of this st...

Underutilized plant species play a fundamental role in the livelihoods of poor communities living in harsh environments such as mountain areas, although they only have a small share in production and trade. Emmer (Triticum dicoccon) is a typical example of an underutilized species suitable for development in mountain areas; it is important for food...

A comprehensive knowledge of the ecology and associating plant species of wheat progenitors is important for plant scientists. This study was designed as a case study to focus on the relation between 5 wild relatives of wheat (Aegilops spp. L. and Triticum spp. L.), their associated soil types and environmental and external variables in the Ceylanp...

Folial fungal pathogens of Puccinia species cause the rust diseases in wheat and their management continues to be a major challenge to the wheat breeders Worldwide. Thus, knowledge about the types of resistance genes within the vast number of wheat collections available to breeders becomes the major factor in the application and success of durable...

In this study, samples of 18 ancient wheat (12 emmer, 6 einkorn) and 2 bread wheat varieties grown in different regions of Turkey were examined for their total phenolics and flavonoids, phenolic acids, lutein, total yellow pigment, and total radical scavenging capacities against ABTS cation. Results showed that health beneficial phytochemicals and...

The starch properties of 17 ancient wheats and wild progenitors (Triticum monococcum L. var. monococcum, T. dicoccum Sch., Aegilops speltoides Tausch, var. ligustica, A. speltoides Tausch var. speltoides, T. monococcum L. var. boeoticum, and T. monococcum L. var. urartu) collected in Turkey were evaluated. The study demonstrated that some of the st...

Spontaneous hybridization in wild wheat species are frequently observed in natural flora of Turkey. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of hybridization in Aegilops L. species under natural conditions. Aegilops populations of 3 different ploidy level, collected from south east Turkey were sown in mixed plots with tetraploid and he...

Türkiye' deki Arpa Çesitleri Hordeum vulgare L ile Güneydogu Anadolu Bölgesinden Toplanan Yabani Arpalardaki Hordeum spontaneum Genetik Çesitliligin Tespiti

Wild wheat (Aegilops L. and Triticum L.) populations were collected from different regions of Turkey and characterized for 5 basic traits, in order to study their agro-morphological characteristics and variation among populations. Material of the study consisted of 112 populations of wild wheat and 12 populations of cultivated wheat. Cultivated ein...

Abstract: The information here is taken from a research study carried out in Turkey, analysing the market chain of emmer, the sustainability of its production and marketing and its impact on the livelihoods of the mountain communities still producing LINK: https://books.google.com.tr/books?hl=en&lr=&id=7RZxMWyZ-XEC&oi=fnd&pg=PP3&dq=info:a_c87tw...

The study aimed at exploring durum wheat landraces to be utilized in breeding programs. 566 single durum wheat plants selected from 117 populations collected from 12 provinces were studied. The selected material was planted for characterizing their some qualitative and quantitative traits such as percent vitreousness, pearling index, grain protein...

Wheat landrace populations, collected from different altitudes of three regions of Turkey, were evaluated for variation within and among populations. Experimental material consisted of 380 accessions, from nine provinces, in Central Anatolian Plateau and North Transitions. The material was grown at Haymana-Ankara Research Farm of Central Research I...

In situ conservation of landraces refers to the habitat where the crops developed particular properties. Landraces are inherited for many generations of farmers and they are subject to selection pressure by different agents. Farmer's decision on selecting or maintaining a particular crop depends mainly on socio-economic, environmental and biologica...
