    Modeling Water Stress Effect on Soil Salinity
    (Springer Verlag, 2011) Tayfur, Gökmen
    As it is widely known the earth is experiencing a climate change. The primary effect of this change is the increase trend in global temperature. This, in turn, results in increased number of events in flooding, and drought in different parts of the world. A secondary effect is the change in water and soil salinity. A considerable portion of the cultivated land in the world is affected by salinity, limiting productivity potential. About 20 million ha of total 230 million ha of irrigated land in the world are salt affected. The climate change is expected to worsen this situation. This study explores the water stress effect on soil salinity. For this purpose, a model is developed to simulate salt transport in a layered soil column. The soil salinity transport model development involves two parts: (1) modeling salt movement through sail layers due to runoff, percolation, and lateral subsurface flow, and (2) modeling dissolution and precipitation of gypsum which acts as sink or source for salts in soil. The model is calibrated and validated with measured data. The soil is irrigated under optimal and water stress irrigation conditions. The major model parameters affecting the soil salinity are found to be wilting point, field capacity, hydraulic conductivity, initial soil salinity, and soil gypsum concentration. The results have revealed that water stress results in high concentration of salt accumulation in soil columns.

    Nacl Tolerance in Lycopersicon Pennellii Introgression Lines: Qtl Related To Physiological Responses
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2011) Frary, A.; Keleş, D.; Pinar, H.; Göl, D.; Doğanlar, S.
    The growth and ion content of salt sensitive Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. M82 and salt tolerant L. pennellii Correll accession LA716 were examined under both control and stress conditions (150 mM NaCl). L. esculentum grew more vigorously than L. pennellii under optimal conditions, however, L. pennellii was able to maintain its growth better than cultivated tomato when the plants were exposed to salinity. Sodium content of both L. esculentum and L. pennellii increased as a result of NaCl stress. In addition, both species showed reduced potassium and calcium content due to salinity. The physiological traits were also measured in a population of 52 L. pennellii introgression lines grown under both normal and stress conditions. A total of 311 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified for the studied traits: plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, leaf and root fresh and dry mass, and sodium, potassium and calcium contents. Some of the loci (124) were identified under both control and stress conditions while 86 QTL were identified only under non-stress conditions and 101 loci were identified only under NaCl stress.
