Co-Inoculation Effects Of Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms And Glomus Fasciculatum On Green Gram-Bradyrhizobium Symbiosis, Almas Zaidi, Mohammad Saghir Khan Jan 2006

Co-Inoculation Effects Of Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms And Glomus Fasciculatum On Green Gram-Bradyrhizobium Symbiosis, Almas Zaidi, Mohammad Saghir Khan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fixing (Bradyrhizobium sp. (Vigna)), phosphate solubilizing bacterium (Bacillus subtilis), phosphate solubilizing fungus (Aspergillus awamori) and AM fungus (Glomus fasciculatum) on the growth, chlorophyll content, seed yield, nodulation, grain protein, and N and P uptake of green gram plants grown in phosphorus-deficient soils. The triple inoculation of AM fungus, Bradyrhizobium sp. (Vigna) and B. subtilis significantly increased dry matter yield, chlorophyll content in foliage and N and P uptake of green gram plants. Seed yield was enhanced by 24% following triple inoculation of Bradyrhizobium + G. fasciculatum + B. subtilis, relative to …


Application Of Western Blotting And Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa) For The Diagnosis Of Dicrocoelium Dendriticum In Sheep Using Excretory Secretory (E/S) Antigens, Sami̇ Şi̇mşek, Ergün Köroğlu, Armağan Erdem Ütük Jan 2006

Application Of Western Blotting And Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa) For The Diagnosis Of Dicrocoelium Dendriticum In Sheep Using Excretory Secretory (E/S) Antigens, Sami̇ Şi̇mşek, Ergün Köroğlu, Armağan Erdem Ütük

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Protein bands of excretory/secretory (E/S) antigens of Dicrocoelium dendriticum were determined using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The E/S antigens were prepared from live adult D. dendriticum, which were obtained from slaughtered sheep at a local abattoir. In the SDS-PAGE analysis of D. dendriticum E/S antigen, 9 protein bands with molecular weights varying between 6 and 66 kDa with Coomassie staining and 14 bands between 6 and 205 kDa with silver staining were detected. Blood samples were obtained from sheep at the local abattoir. Following the examination of the organs for D. dendriticum and other helminths, serum samples were divided into …


Detection Of Four Apple Viruses By Elisa And Rt-Pcr Assays In Turkey, Kadri̇ye Çağlayan, Çi̇ğdem Ulubaş Serçe, Mona Gazel, Wilhelm Jelkmann Jan 2006

Detection Of Four Apple Viruses By Elisa And Rt-Pcr Assays In Turkey, Kadri̇ye Çağlayan, Çi̇ğdem Ulubaş Serçe, Mona Gazel, Wilhelm Jelkmann

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plant samples were collected from the main apple growing provinces of Turkey in order to evaluate the incidence of 4 important apple virus diseases during spring 2004. Collected leaves and shoots were tested using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV). Since no commercial antiserum is available, Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) was tested only using RT-PCR and the results were compared. A total of 174 apple samples were collected from varietal collections belonging to governmental and university …


Serological And Virological Investigations Of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (Bvdv) Infection In Dairy Cattle Herds In Aydın Province, Mehmet Tolga Tan, M. Taner Karaoğlu, Nural Erol, Yakup Yildirim Jan 2006

Serological And Virological Investigations Of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (Bvdv) Infection In Dairy Cattle Herds In Aydın Province, Mehmet Tolga Tan, M. Taner Karaoğlu, Nural Erol, Yakup Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A total of 288 dairy cattle from 4 different closed barns were sampled in order to investigate the presence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection. Based on the data gathered from neutralisation peroxidase-linked antibody (NPLA) tests, which were conducted to detect BVDV antibodies, all of the barns monitored previously had the infection; the rates of seropositive animals were between 44% and 100%. Overall, the results obtained from Aydın province showed that 248 of the 288 dairy cows (86%) monitored were seropositive. BVDV antigen ELISA kits (Bio-X Diagnostics- Belgium) were used to detect BVDV antigen (NS3 protein) in blood samples. …


A Comparative Study Of Detection Of Bordetella Avium Antibodies In Turkeys By Elisa, Spat, And Agid Test, Süheyla Türkyilmaz, Kenan Türkyilmaz, Osman Kaya Jan 2006

A Comparative Study Of Detection Of Bordetella Avium Antibodies In Turkeys By Elisa, Spat, And Agid Test, Süheyla Türkyilmaz, Kenan Türkyilmaz, Osman Kaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aims of this study were to develop a serum plate agglutination test (SPAT) antigen and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test antigen for the serological detection of turkeys that have been exposed to Bordetella avium; to compare the sensitivity of commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with SPAT, and AGID test, and to survey B. avium antibodies in turkey flocks in Aydın, Turkey. For these purposes, serum samples collected from 300 turkeys were examined by ELISA, SPAT, and AGID test. The seroprevalence was 44%, 28%, and 15% for ELISA, SPAT, and AGID test, respectively. This study revealed that ELISA was the …
