Biological and Agronomic Characterization of Improved Alkali Grass Genotypes (Puccinellia ciliata Bor) in the Aegean Region of Turkey

Puccinellia is one of the plants with high performance in unfavourable soil conditions. Fourteen super genotypes developed by recurrent selection method were grown at three different sowing times order to characterize alkali grass for biological and agronomic traits determine relationships seed yield Aegean region Turkey 2020. The interaction between time was found be significant all traits. 14 varied 28.9 kg ha-1 90.2 according average 3 times, grand mean 61.3 ha-1. Genotypes yielding defined as thick-leaved (123.3±12.1), large bulliform cells (42.4±5.2), chlorophyll content (5.7±0.3), stomatal area (199.6±5.9) fewer stomata (20.9±1.3). In conclusion, characteristics such stoma number, leaf structure should used criteria production.
