Phenology, Morphology, Yield and Quality Characteristics of Mustard Species (Brassica spp.) Suitable for Energy Sector
No full text<p>There is a need to identify new renewable, sustainable and clean energy sources in the world. This study was conducted to determine the genotypes of different Brassica species suitable for the energy sector. A total of 21 genotypes, consisting of 19 lines (B. juncea, B. nigra, Sinapis alba and B. rapa ssp. oleifera) and two standards (ISCI-99 and Excalibur used as control) were evaluated in the study. The research was carried out during 2019-20 and 2020-21 growing seasons at Tokat, Turkey. The parameters related to yield and yield components (days to emergence, days to rosette formation, winter survival percentage, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% capsule formation, days to maturation, plant height, number of lateral branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, thousand seed weight, seed yield), crude oil percentage, crude oil yield, fatty acid components, biodiesel production and their technical properties for appropriateness to bioenergy production were investigated. The results showed that the yield, yield components, oil content, fatty acid components and biodiesel technical properties of lines were significantly dissimilar. Seed yields varied between 37 and 1195 kg ha(-)(1) and the maximum seed yield was obtained in the second year of the study from the line 5. Oleic acid (C18:1; 17.12-26.8%), linoleic acid (C18:2; 13.15-24.60%), and erucic acid (C22:1; 12.13-42.76%) were the predominant fatty acids of the lines. The excess of monounsaturated fatty acids in the oils indicated that the fatty acid components are suitable for biodiesel production. Water content, cold filter plugging point, ester percentage, flash point, acid number, iodine number, and glyceride values of oils in all lines are within acceptable limits for biodiesel production according to TS EN 14214 standards. The yield and quality data of the species revealed that B. juncea and B. rapa lines have higher potential as a raw material source for biodiesel production.</p>

Reporting evidence on the environmental and health impacts of climate change on Indigenous Peoples of Atlantic Canada: a systematic review
No full textWhile evidence of Indigenous Peoples’ climate knowledge and adaptation practices is readily
available in Canada, regional variations are poorly understood, and proper representation and
recognition in academic and planning contexts is scarce. Much less still is known about the health
and environmental impacts of climate change on these communities. This review sought to report
and assess the evidence of such impacts on Indigenous Peoples in Atlantic Canada over the past
two decades. Current published studies focused on Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge and
perceptions and highlight government policy for adaptation measurements. We systematically
searched publications between January 2002 and March 2022 from the Web of Science, PubMed,
Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases, screening for (1) environmental and (2) health
impacts of climate change on Indigenous Peoples. Fifty-six articles were selected and thoroughly
reviewed using the GRADE approach to assess the quality of the evidence. The quality of evidence
ranged from low to moderate, and the evidentiary foundation for links between climate change
and health effects was weak. We thus find an opportunity for future research to focus on
climate-related effects on the health and lands of Indigenous Peoples within Atlantic Canada,
especially concerning impacts on mental health

No full textAssessing the potential impacts of climate change on current coastal ecosystems—A Canadian case study
No full textUnderstanding how climate change affects coastal ecosystems is one of the most important elements in determining vulnerability and resilience for long-term ecosystem management in the face of the increasing risk of coastal hazards (e.g., sea level rise, coastal flooding, and storm surge). This research attempts to undertake a study on the ecosystem–climate nexus in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island (PEI). Cloud-based remote sensing techniques with Google Earth Engine (GGE) are utilized to identify ecosystem changes over time. In addition, the effects of coastal flooding and storm surge ecosystems under different climate scenarios are examined. The results suggest a reduction in the forest (3%), open water or marsh component (9%), salt water (5%), no open water or marsh component (3%), and salt or brackish marsh (17%) ecosystems from 2013 to 2022. Dune and beach exhibit a non-uniform distribution across the period because of variations in natural processes, with an upward trend ranging from 0% to 11%. Approximately 257 km2 (9.4%) of PEI’s ecosystems would be affected by extreme coastal flooding (scenario 4), compared to 142 km2 (5.2%), 155 km2 (5.7%), and 191 km2 (7%) in scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Under a 4 m storm surge scenario, around 223 km2 (8.2%) of PEI’s ecosystems would be flooded, compared to 61 km2 (2.2%), 113 km2 (4.1%), and 168 km2 (6.1%) under 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m scenarios, respectively. The findings from this research would enable policymakers to take necessary actions to sustain ecosystem services in PEI while confronting the impacts of climate change
Determining the Performance of Some Soybean Genotypes in Middle Black Sea Transitional Zone
No full textThis research was carried out in 2017 and 2018 to determine the agronomic and chemical quality characteristics of 18 soybean genotypes including seven advanced lines and eleven cultivars under Tokat-Kazova conditions. The feasibility of soybean production in the region has been determined to create a database that may contribute to the oilseed deficit in the future. The phenological (germination, first flowering and physiological maturity) and morphological characteristics (plant height, number of side branches, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, oil ratio, oil yield, protein ratio and yield) were examined in the study. All properties except number of grains per pod were significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) different between genotypes. The seed yield varied between 1.82 and 3.00 t ha-1, oil ratio was between 19.73 and 25.20% and protein ratio was between 30.39 and 43.44%. The results of the study revealed that genotypes of 1, 2, 3 and 9 for the seed yield, 1, 7 and 8 for the oil yield and 1, 2 and 9 for the protein yield can be promising under Tokat-Kazova conditions. However, more efficient cultivars are needed due to the insufficient performances of the genotypes investigated
Molecular Approaches on Biocontrol of Postharvest Fungal Plant Pathogens: Antagonistic Yeast Model
No full textPostharvest decays limit storage life and cause significant losses on fruit and vegetables. For a long time, synthetic fungicides have been used successfully for controlling the postharvest pathogens. In recent years, due to their risks, studies on alternatives to the chemical fungicides on postharvest rots control have garnered high attention. In this concern, the uses of biological and physical methods have gained great importance. Yeasts are single-celled eukaryotic microorganisms that belong to Kingdom Fungi. As the epiphytic yeasts always exist on fruit and vegetable surfaces and compete with other microorganisms, they take attention on biological control. The management of postharvest pathogens with antagonistic yeasts, including pre- and postharvest uses, has gained great importance in the last 30 years. As a result of these studies some successful antagonist yeasts were found, and their formulations were carried out and commercialized. The use of antagonistic yeasts may differ with target pathogens and host; hence they can be applied at pre- or postharvest stages. After the 1990s, molecular methods have pioneered in providing very important developments in the biological control of fungi, as well as in all areas of plant pathology. To find a good antagonistic microorganism and deliver to conventional use is not easy and short process. These processes include isolation, identification, biology, ecology, physiology, biological efficacy-testing, commercial product development, and registration of yeasts for agricultural applications. Including all the steps, from the initial discovery to registration and product development, needs the work of specialist scientists from different disciplines together, including new technologies. In researches, genome sequencing is now commonly used for both identification and classification of pathogen and biocontrol agents for the control of the plant diseases. The interactions of the antagonist microorganisms with the pathogen and the host have been highly detectable and understandable by using omics technologies. This review supplies a summary of the usage of the molecular instruments for screening and identification of the antagonistic yeasts and comprehension of their mechanisms of action on postharvest biological control of fruit and vegetables. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023
