    treatment - 0.001 M), and 'CRM 53' (after EMS treatment - 0.66%) consistently yielded double that of the parent (1.25 t/ha for parent). Further, in the trials conducted at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station of Indira Gandhi Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, Jagdalpur, the CRM mutants performed well on both the yield and the disease scores. Based on the performance of these mutants, the Government of Assam is proposing the release of three mutants namely, CRM 49, 51 and 53 and wishes to replace the parent cultivar IR 50 with these high yielding and blast tolerant mutants. (Contributed by SARMA, N.P.*, G.J.N. RAO and K.V.S.R.K. ROW, Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack-753 006, Orissa, Email: [email protected]; ^Directorate of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad-500030, India) XA0054539 RESULTS AND PROSPECTS OF THE USE OF MUTANTS IN SUNFLOWER BREEDING Modern agriculture requires a significant yield increase of farm crops. In the case of sunflower, this problem may be solved by developing varieties and hybrids with new plant architecture, tolerant to high density conditions. Some mutants were developed to solve this problem by long-term breeding through chemical mutagenesis (1980-1995). Among them were mutants M-2006, M-2007, M-2008, which are characterized by a short leaf petiole, ranging from 1.3 to 5.8 cm, and with increased tolerance to high plant density (80-150 thousand plants/hectare). In the mutant M-1991 the petiole is absent completely. Super-early, cold tolerant, sunflower mutants (M-1700, M-1925, M-1927) which are resistant to high density growing conditions (100-120 thousand plants/hectare) and with a vegetation period of 45-75 days are of great interest for northern regions throughout the world.

  • Trace Elements and Stable Isotope Diagrams of Late Pleistocene Ice Wedges of Batagaika Yedoma, Central Yakutia
    Trace elements and stable isotope diagrams of Late Pleistocene ice wedges of Batagaika yedoma, Central Yakutia Yu.K.Vasil'chuk1 J.Yu.Vasil'chuk1 N. A. Budantseva1 A.C. Vasil'chuk1 1Department of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of the study is the yedoma ice complex, which locates in the Batagaika depression, Sakha Republic, Russia. The oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope composition, and the content of the dissolved forms of minor and major elements were studied for the first time in ice-wedges of Batagaika depression, which makes the novelty of the study. The isotope composition of the two most saline ice-wedges located in the upper and lower parts of the Batagay depression indicates that they were formed in a close temperature range, the average winter temperature was close to –34/–35 °C, and the average January air temperature was –51/ –53 °C. The ice-wedge with the lowest content of all the trace elements was formed in more severe conditions, the average winter air temperature was close to -36 °C, and the average January air temperature was –54/–55 °C. Keywords: permafrost; ice wedge; oxygen isotope; hydrogen isotope; trace elements; East Siberia, Late Pleistocene The subject of the study is the yedoma, which is found lacustrine or taberal deposits, which are form horizontal in the Batagaika depression (67°34'49" N, 134°46'19" E), wedge 150-200 meters long and intruding into the located 10 km southeast of Batagai settlement (about 17 yedoma deposits and overlaying it.

International Journal of Geography and Geography Education (IGGE), 43, 365-385. Submitted: October 07, 2020 Revised: November 01, 2020 Accepted: November 16, 2020 GEOGRAPHY OF THE TRANS-BAYKAL (RUSSIA) REGION Trans-Baykal (Rusya) Bölgesi’nin Coğrafyası Reyhan Rafet CAN1 Öz Zabaykalskiy Kray (Bölge) olarak isimlendirilen saha adını Rus kâşiflerin ilk kez 1640’ta karşılaştıkları Daur halkından alır. Rusçada Zabaykalye, Balkal Gölü’nün doğusu anlamına gelir. Trans-Baykal Bölgesi, Sibirya'nın en güneydoğusunda, doğu Trans-Baykal'ın neredeyse tüm bölgesini işgal eder. Bölge şiddetli iklim koşulları; birçok mineral ve hammadde kaynağı; ormanların ve tarım arazilerinin varlığı ile karakterize edilir. Rusya Federasyonu'nun Uzakdoğu Federal Bölgesi’nin bir parçası olan on bir kurucu kuruluşu arasında bölge, alan açısından altıncı, nüfus açısından dördüncü, bölgesel ürün üretimi açısından (GRP) altıncı sıradadır. Bölge topraklarından geçen Trans-Sibirya Demiryolu yalnızca Uzak Doğu ile Rusya'nın batı bölgeleri arasında bir ulaşım bağlantısı değil, aynı zamanda Avrasya geçişini sağlayan küresel altyapının da bir parçasıdır. Bölgenin üretim yapısında sanayi, tarım ve ulaşım yüksek bir paya sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Trans-Baykal Bölgesi’nin fiziki, beşeri ve ekonomik coğrafya özellikleri ele alınmıştır. Trans-Baykal Bölgesinin coğrafi özelliklerinin yanı sıra, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısını incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda konu ile ilgili kurumsal raporlardan ve alan araştırmalarından yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda 350 yıldan beri Rus gelenek, kültür ve yaşam tarzının devam ettiği, farklı etnik grupların toplumsal birliği sağladığı, yer altı kaynaklarının bölge ekonomisi için yüzyıllardır olduğu gibi günümüzde de önem arz ettiği, coğrafyasının halkın yaşam şeklini belirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
