| description | Turkey oak is among the species that can be used for the
afforestations in the semi-arid and arid regions of Turkey. Understanding how
the Turkey oak responds to drought could contribute to improve stress tolerance
and to the success of afforestation programs of species. In this study, the
response of one-year-old seedlings of Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) to the
drought stress was investigated. Under controlled conditions, the seedlings in
the control group were regularly irrigated during the stress experiment, while
drought-stressed seedlings were subjected to drought stress by withholding
irrigation for 30 days. Both control and drought-stress treatment groups were
sampled on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 30, and their stem xylem water potential,
stomatal conductance and total soluble sugars were determined. In addition, the
volumetric soil moisture content was also determined. As a result, significant
differences were found in xylem water potential, stomatal conductance and total
soluble sugar between the control and drought-stressed seedlings. Drought
stress significantly reduced soil moisture content and consequently, xylem
water potential of the drought-stressed oak seedlings were lower than the
control seedlings. Drought stress decreased stomatal conductance, but
significantly increased accumulations of total soluble sugars. |
