Karyological Studies On Vicia Satival. Subsp. Incisa(Bieb.) Arc. Var. Incisa, Çiler Meri̇ç, Feruzan Dane

Turkish Journal of Botany

Vicia sativa L. subsp. incisa (Bieb.) Arc. var. incisa was investigated karyologically (chromosome number, karyotype and mitotic division). The chromosome number of Vicia sativa subsp. incisa var. incisa was counted for the first time and it was found to be 2n=14. In the karyotype, 1 submedian (SM) and 6 subterminal (ST) chromosome pairs were found, in one of which a SAT-chromosome was detected. A satellite was on the short arm of the 3rd chromosome pair. In the cells of the root tips, the course of mitosis was regular. The presence of subsp. incisa var. incisa in the flora of Turkey …

Nitrate Reductase Activity In Verbascum L. ( Scrophulariaceae) Species From The Eastern Mediterranean In Dependence On Altitude, Gürcan Güleryüz, Hülya Arslan

Turkish Journal of Botany

Nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was investigated in diferent parts of some Verbascum L. species ( Scrophulariaceae) collected from different altıtudes of Uludag Mountain, Bursa Turkey. NR activities were compared with respect to (1) different plant organs, (2) different Verbascumspecies and (3) samples collected from different altıtudes (120-1850 m). The highest levels of NRA were found for all species in the leaves. Significant differences were determined between the samples collected from different altıtudes. Despite the NRA is the highest in V. olympicum Boiss., it is the lowest in V. lagurus Fisch. & Mey. Furthermore the correlation between NRA values in aboveground …

Evaluation Of Various Sunflower ( Helianthus Annuus L.) Genotypes For Agrobacterium Tumefaciens-Mediated Gene Transfer, Ekrem Gürel, Kemal Kazan Jan 1999

Evaluation Of Various Sunflower ( Helianthus Annuus L.) Genotypes For Agrobacterium Tumefaciens-Mediated Gene Transfer, Ekrem Gürel, Kemal Kazan

Turkish Journal of Botany

In this work, 10 sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes were evaluated for their suitability for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer based on detection of a reported gene expression (GUS). A number of factors including the type of shoot-tip explant (split vs. intact), bacterial strain/binary vector combinations and wounding intact shoot-tips by particle bombardment were examined. Genotypes showed significant differences in their transformation efficiencies ranging from 0.0 to 82.7% GUS positive explants, hybrid genotypes being more responsive to Agrobacterium infection than inbred lines. Use of split shoot-tip explants did not increase the transformation efficiency over intact explants but the AGL-1/pKIWI strain/vector …

Nuclear Dna Contents Of Some Endemic Hedysarum L. Species, Nükhet Akpinar, Bayram Yildiz Jan 1999

Nuclear Dna Contents Of Some Endemic Hedysarum L. Species, Nükhet Akpinar, Bayram Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Botany

The nuclear DNA contents and nuclear areas of some endemic Hedysarum L. species were investigated. A significant variation in the DNA content of Hedysarum species was established. The 2C nuclear DNA amount in the Hedysarum species (x = 8) ranged from approximately 4 to 6 picograms. It was found that the variation in the 2C nuclear DNA content was not related to chromosome numbers. However, there was a very high positive linear relationship between nuclear DNA content and nuclear area.

In addition, a database related to the vegetation mosaic of the area was prepared.


The Effect Of Uracil On The Germination And Growthof Some Leguminous Plants, Yusuf Turan, Muhsi̇n Konuk Jan 1999

The Effect Of Uracil On The Germination And Growthof Some Leguminous Plants, Yusuf Turan, Muhsi̇n Konuk

Turkish Journal of Botany

All known pyrimidine and pyrimidine-derived secondary producs originate from uracil or its precursor, uracil-6-carboxylic acid. The biosynthesis of these products has been suggested to be uracil detoxication mechanisms. The possible toxic effects of uracil on the germination and growh of Pisum sativum L. cultivar Meteor, Lathyrus tingitanus L. in which pyrimidine-derived secondary products occur naturally, and of Phaseolus aureus Roxb. and Glycine max (L.) Merr., in which these compouns do not occur, were examined. The results show that the germination and growth of the P. aureus and G. max seeds under investigation were considerably inhibited by exogenous uracil. The effect …

The dependence of the O 2 consumption rate on Plastocyanin concentration, electrostratic effect in the presence of mono- and divalent cations and pH-dependence were investigated. A mechanism of activating complexes formation between Plastocyanin and Photosystem I in frame of trimeric structure of Photosystem I is proposed.


Expression And Inheritance Of Gus Gene In Transgenic Tobacco Plants, Ti̇jen Talas Oğraş, Nermi̇n Gözükirmizi Jan 1999

Expression And Inheritance Of Gus Gene In Transgenic Tobacco Plants, Ti̇jen Talas Oğraş, Nermi̇n Gözükirmizi

Turkish Journal of Botany

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of tobacco leaf discs was performed with plant transformation vec-tors of pBI 121 and pGus-Int. Both carry the neomycin phosphotransferase II ( npt II) gene and, unlike the pBI 121, pGus-Int car-ries a portable plant intron inside the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. In addition to the integration of the marker genes into the genomes of primary transformants, R1 and R2 progenies were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analyses. Histochemical and fluorometric analyses were also performed to determine the activity of the GUS gene. Segregation of progenies on kanamycin-resistance trait was also shown as evidence …


A Palynological Survey Of Aquatic Flora Of Karachi-Pakistan, Anjum Perveen Jan 1999

A Palynological Survey Of Aquatic Flora Of Karachi-Pakistan, Anjum Perveen

Turkish Journal of Botany

The pollen morphology of 16 species of aquatic angiosperms, distributed in 14 families from Karachi was examined by light and scanning microscope. Pollen grains are usually free, rarely united, mostly radially symmetrical, isopolar-apolar, occasionally-heteropolar. Simple aperturate (porate or colpate) pollen are more frequently found. Number of apertures varies from 1-3 or more than 30, rarely compound aperture as in Enhydra fluctuans Lour. Tectum of the families also is quite variable, ranging from reticulate to rugulate, striate, fossulate, echinate or scabrate/areolate. The pollen morphology of the families is significantly useful for characterizing the species. Apertural types and tectum types are the …

Marker Gene Delivery To Mature Wheat Embryos Via Particle Bombardment, Hüseyi̇n Avni̇ Öktem, Füsun İnci̇ Eyi̇doğan, Fahri̇ye Setenci̇ Ertuğrul, Meral Yücel, Barnabas Jenes, Otto Toldi

Turkish Journal of Botany

The possibility of transferring genes to mature wheat embryos ( Triticum aestivumL. and T. durum Desf.) via accelerated and DNA-coated tungsten particles was investigated. Mature embryos isolated from bread (cv. Atay) and durum (cv. Çakmak) wheat were utilised as targets for bombardment. DNA in the form of circular plasmid (pBSGUSINT) was precipitated on tungsten particles (ca. 2 \mum diameter) using the calcium nitrate method. Mature embryos were bombarded by a microprocessor-controlled particle delivery instrument (GENEBOOSTER TM ) driven by compressed nitrogen gas. Bombardment was carried out at various gas pressure and in a chamber vacuum. The target material was subjected …

Turkish Journal of Botany

An optimized regeneration protocol and a suitable transformation technique is a necessity in obtaining transgenic plants in a given plant species. This work summarizes a simple culture method to obtain rooted plants from leaf pieces of two tomato cul-tivars (ES58 and WC156) within 3-4 months. Here, we also present our preliminary results on transformation experiments carried out with 8-day-old cotyledon explants and Agrobacterium tumefaciensEHA105 strain.

Agrobacterium Rhizogenes-Mediated Hairy Root Formation In Some Rubia Tinctorum L. Populations Grown In Turkey, A. Gülhan Ercan, Kemal Meli̇h Taşkin, Kenan Turgut, Süer Yüce

Turkish Journal of Botany

Rubia tinctorumL. seeds were collected from 4 different regions of Turkey. Plants were grown in greenhouse and cotyle-dons were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains 15834, 2628, R1000 and 9365. Rubia tinctorum plants were also grown in the field for comparative analysis of root anthraquinone content. Agrobacterium rhizogenesstrain 2628 induced only callus formation on the cut surface of cotyledon explants while strains 15834, R1000 and 9365 produced hairy roots on the same explants. Anthraquinone content was identified in the extracts of the plant roots grown in the field and in the extracts of the Agrobacterium rhizogenes-induced hairy roots. The percentage of …
