Regeneration And Healing Of Bone And Cartilage In Type-1 And Type-2 Diabetes: The Effects Of Insulin, Sümeyya Akyol, Mehmet Aki̇f Güleç, Hi̇lmi̇ Demi̇ri̇n, Ömer Akyol
Turkish Journal of Biology
Increased fragility of long bones and delay in fracture healing in adults as well as skeletal development disorders in children are thought to be associated with endochondral ossification problems. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage is absorbed during endochondral ossification. During the recovery process from damage, chondrocytes undergo hypertrophy and increase their cell volume; on the other hand, it is also necessary to digest the ECM elements around the cells. Recent research on the proteolytic enzymes in ECM assumed to be responsible for the digestion is connected to proteinases digesting type II collagen and aggrecan. ADAMTS1, 4, and 5 are …

Effects Of Gradual Soil Drought Stress On The Growth, Biomass Partitioning, And Chlorophyll Fluorescence Of Prunus Mongolica Seedlings, Youyan Guo, Hongyuan Yu, Dongsheng Kong, Fang Yan, Donghua Liu, Yajuan Zhang
Turkish Journal of Biology
The present studyaimed to determine the effects of gradual drought stress on Prunus mongolica seedlings. The growth and chlorophyll fluorescence of the seedlings were investigated under drought and control conditions. The short-term (21 day) decline in soil water content from 30.46% to 15.55% did not significantly influence the growth of P. mongolica seedlings but increased the height, basal diameter, crown, leaf number, stem mass, leaf mass, and root mass of the seedlings. The growth of the drought group reached the maximum, but remained lower than that of the control group, within 21 days. Compared with the control group, the drought …

The Effect Of 4-Chloroindole-3-Acetic Acid On Some Growth Parameters In Mung Bean Under Cadmium Stress, Mohammad Mazid, Barket Ali, Shamsul Hayat, Aqil Ahmad
Turkish Journal of Biology
Seedlings of mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) cv. T-44 grown on a sand culture were exposed to cadmium (Cd) (100 µM) on day 10 of growth. These seedlings were subsequently sprayed with deionized water (control) or 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA) (10^{-6} M) on day 15 and were sampled 30 days after sowing to assess growth and metabolite content. Growth (length, and fresh and dry mass of roots and shoots) and the level of metabolites (chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorus, total sugar, and soluble protein) in the leaves significantly decrease in response to Cd stress; however, the 4-Cl-IAA (10^{-6} M) treatment, both in …

Interaction Between Glomus Geosporum, Azotobacter Chroococcum, And Bacillus Coagulans And Their Influence On Growth And Nutrition Of Melia Azedarach L., Sevanan Rajeshkumar, Mathan Chandran Nisha, Padanilly Chidambaram Prabu, Lakew Wondimu, Thangavel Selvaraj
Turkish Journal of Biology
A green house nursery study was conducted to assess the interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, a nitrogen fixing bacterium, Glomus geosporum, Azotobacter chroococcum, and a mycorrhiza helper bacterium (MHB), Bacillus coagulans, in soil and their consequent effect on growth and nutrition of Melia azedarach L. seedlings. Triple inoculation of G. geosporum, A. chroococcum, and B. coagulans resulted in maximum plant biomass, N, P, Zn, and Cu uptake, and biovolume and quality index of M. azedarach seedlings. It also increased the mycorrhizal root colonization and spore numbers in the root zone soil of the inoculated plants over uninoculated control plants. The …

Changes In Growth, Biochemical Constituents, And Antioxidant Potentials In Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.) Under Cobalt Stress, Kaliyamoorthy Jayakumar, Cheruth Abdul Jaleel, Packirisamy Vijayarengan
Turkish Journal of Biology
The effects of cobalt (Co) stress on seedling vigor, photosynthetic pigment content, biochemical constituents, mineral status, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes in Raphanus sativus L. were studied. The plants were raised in earthen pots containing soils amended with different concentrations of Co (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg kg^{-1}). Growth parameters (root and shoot length, and total leaf area), photosynthetic pigments content (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll), biochemical constituents (total sugar, amino acid, and protein content), mineral content (macro- and micronutrients), and the activity of antioxidant enzymes (catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO)) were …

Effect Of Gibberellic Acid Spray On Performance Of Tomato, M.Masroor A. Khan, Champa Gautam, Firoz Mohammad, Manzer H. Siddiqui, M. Naeem, M. Nasir Khan
Turkish Journal of Biology
A pot experiment was performed according to a factorial randomized design at Aligarh to study the effect of 4 levels of gibberellic acid spray (0, 10-8, 10-6 and 10-4 M GA3) on the growth, leaf-NPK content, yield and quality parameters of 2 tomato cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), namely Hyb-SC-3 and Hyb-Himalata. Irrespective of its concentration, spray of gibberellic acid proved beneficial for most parameters, especially in the case of Hyb-SC-3.

The Effect Of Ferrum (Feso_4) On Culture Mushroom: Pleurotus Ostreatus (Jacq.) Kumm., Abdunnasir Yildiz, Ömer Faruk Yeşi̇l
Turkish Journal of Biology
This study was conducted on the growth, ratio of protein and cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus on local celluosic wastes in different concentrations of the ferrous (Fe^{++}). It was observed that Fe^{++} had effect on the formation and growth of the basidiocarps. The shortest and longest period of basidiocarps formation and growth were obtained in 100 ppm and 300 ppm Fe^{++}, respectively. The higher total amount of yield was found for 100 ppm Fe^{++} when compared with control, 200 and 300 ppm Fe^{++}. Significant (P < 0.05) difference was found between the control and 100 ppm Fe^{++}, but the best yield was obtained. Mushroom protein ratio of all concentrations of ferrous (Fe^{++}) were found to be lower than control.

Effect Of Salinity On Growth Chemical Composition And Antioxidative Enzyme Activity Of Two Malting Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Cultivars, Mehmet Ali̇ Demi̇ral, Mehmet Aydin, Alper Yorulmaz
Turkish Journal of Biology
The effects of salinity on the growth, chemical composition and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) activities of 2 malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars (Kaya and Scarlet) were studied. In 10-day-old seedlings, salinity stress was initiated by applying an appropriate amount of NaCl to water, and it lasted for 30 days. Salinity decreased growth of the cultivars significantly. Scarlet restricted entry of Na^+ and Cl^- into root and translocation to leaves more efficiently than did Kaya. As a whole Scarlet produced a higher amount total chlorophyll under salinity than did Kaya. POX activity of the cultivars decreased with salinity …
Effects Of Photoperiod And Temperature On Growth And Reproductive Organ Mass In Adult Male Mongolian Gerbils, Meriones Unguiculatus, Bülent Gündüz
Effects Of Photoperiod And Temperature On Growth And Reproductive Organ Mass In Adult Male Mongolian Gerbils, Meriones Unguiculatus, Bülent Gündüz
Turkish Journal of Biology
Rates of growth and sexual maturation of Mongolian gerbils vary in response to photoperiod. Previous work has shown that the responses of the testes and body weight of juvenile and adult gerbils are influenced not only by the photoperiods but also by other factors. The present work sought to determine if Mongolian gerbils alter body mass, body composition and/or reproductive organ mass in response to different photoperiods and temperatures. Male Mongolian gerbils were raised under long (14L) or short (10L) photoperiods from 26 days of age. Photoperiods did not affect body mass and body length. Temperature affected body mass only …
The Possibility Of Using Crustacean Waste Products(Cwp) On Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus Mykiss)Feeding, Yeşi̇m Özoğul
The Possibility Of Using Crustacean Waste Products(Cwp) On Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus Mykiss)Feeding, Yeşi̇m Özoğul
Turkish Journal of Biology
Crustacean waste product (CWP) generated from the fishing industry could be used in diets for rainbow trout as an alternative animal protein. Some experiments have been undertaken with penaid species, showing that it is possible to partially replace fish meal with CWP in penaid feeds. This study has been designed to assess whether CWP could be used to partially replace fish meal in diets for rainbow trout. The results show that CWP improved the digestibility of the diet, yielding the highest performance, and also that the addition of large amounts of CWP to a low-protein diet did not depress appetite. …
