Three New Records For Myxomycetes Of Turkey, Dursun Yağiz, Ahmet Afyon Jan 2007

Three New Records For Myxomycetes Of Turkey, Dursun Yağiz, Ahmet Afyon

Turkish Journal of Botany

This study was conducted to identify the biodiversity of Myxomycetes growing in Derebucak (Konya) and Akseki (Antalya) districts. The specimens have been collected periodically during field trips in 2002 and 2004. While 2 samples were treated with the moist chamber cultures method in the laboratory, 1 taxon was determined naturally. The samples grown were observed using stereo and light microscopes. The 3 new records for the Myxomycetes in Turkey are as follows: Cribraria languescens Rex, Arcyodes incarnata (Alb. & Schwein.) O.F.Cook., and Macbrideola macrospora (Nann.-Bremek.) Ing.

The Effect Of Air Pollution On Microsporogenesis, Pollen Development And Soluble Pollen Proteins In Spartium Junceum L. (Fabaceae), Farkhondeh Rezanejad Jan 2007

The Effect Of Air Pollution On Microsporogenesis, Pollen Development And Soluble Pollen Proteins In Spartium Junceum L. (Fabaceae), Farkhondeh Rezanejad

Turkish Journal of Botany

Air pollution induces abnormality in anthers, reduction of pollen grains´ umbers and male sterility. Anthers of Spartium junceum L. (Spanish broom) were collected at different stages of development from control (less polluted) and polluted areas (mainly SO_2, NO_2, CO, hydrocarbons (HCs) and airborne particulate material (APM)). Structure and development of anther walls and pollen grains were studied and compared. Groups of the control pollen grains were exposed to the polluted air of Tehran for 10 and 20 days. Under pollution stress some anthers became abnormal and shrunken. The tapetum layer had a precocious growth in the microspore mother cell stage …

The Influence Of Certain Physical And Chemical Variables On The Seasonal Dynamics Of Phytoplankton Assemblages Of A Source Inlet And The Outlet Of The Shallow Hypertrophic Lake Manyas, Turkey, Kemal Çeli̇k, Tuğba Ongun

Turkish Journal of Botany

The relationships between water discharge, temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate and the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton assemblages of one of the inlets, which is a source of waste for the lake, and the sole outlet of the shallow hypertrophic Lake Manyas, Turkey, were studied from January 2003 to August 2005. Conductivity, ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate concentrations were higher at the inlet than at the outlet. Diatoms and cyanobacteria were the dominant phytoplankton groups at both stations. Achnantes microcephala (Kütz.) Cleve was dominant throughout the year and Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz. was dominant in summer at both stations. Planktothrix rubescens …

Genetic Diversity Among Nile Delta Isolates Of Rhizoctonia Solani Kühn Based On Pathogenicity, Compatibility, Isozyme Analysis And Total Protein Pattern, Yehia A.G. Mahmoud, Reda M. Gaafar, H. M. Mubarak

Turkish Journal of Botany

The present study obtained 12 isolates from Rhizoctonia solani Kühn isolated from Cotton L., Trifolium L. and Vicia faba L. from different localities in the Nile Delta of Egypt. All strains were pathogenic and caused seed rot, wilt, stunting, and pre-emergence and post-emergence damping-off. The isolated strains produced different forms of infection cushions that ensure the pathogenicity of these strains. SDS-PAGE of the 12 R. solani isolates showed that although the R. solani isolates were isolated from very divergent host plants, the total soluble protein patterns among them were similar. Isozyme analysis revealed higher polymorphism among R. solani isolates using …

The Effect Of Seed Mass On Germination, Seedling Survival And Growth In Prunus Jenkinsii Hook.F. & Thoms., Krishna Upadhaya, Harendra Nath Pandey, Pynsakhiat Law

Turkish Journal of Botany

The effect of seed mass on germination, seedling survival and growth was investigated in Prunus jenkinsii Hook.f. & Thoms. (Rosaceae), an evergreen tree species. Seed mass varied from a minimum of 0.5 g to a maximum of 2.72 g. Seed mass had a significant effect on the percentage of seeds that germinated: 28%, 41% and 42%, respectively, of light- (1.5 g), intermediate- (> 1.5 to 2 g) and heavy-weight (> 2 g) seeds germinated. After 1 year of germination, the seedlings that arose from heavy-, intermediate- and light-weight seeds showed 80%, 63% and 42% survival, respectively. Seedling vigour, expressed in …

Effects Of Salinity: Calcium Interaction On Growth And Nucleic Acid Metabolism In Five Species Of Chenopodiaceae, Essam E. M. Abo-Kassem Jan 2007

Effects Of Salinity: Calcium Interaction On Growth And Nucleic Acid Metabolism In Five Species Of Chenopodiaceae, Essam E. M. Abo-Kassem

Turkish Journal of Botany

Seed germination, seedling growth, and some enzyme activity of nucleic acid metabolism were studied in 5 members of Chenopodiaceae [Beta vulgaris L., Chenopodium quinoa Willd., Spinacea oleracea L., Allenrolfia occidentalis (S.Watson) Kuntze, Atriplex hortensis L.] under NaCl salinity alone or combined with 0.5 mM CaSO_4. High salinity delayed radical emergence and decreased germination percentage in all plants. Combined CaSO_4 reduced inhibition of seed germination in B. vulgaris, S. oleracea, and A. hortensis, but increased it in C. quinoa and A. occidentalis. CaSO_4 reduced plant growth to a greater degree than high salinity did. High salinity decreased total nucleic acid content …

Effect Of Ozone On Induction Of Resistance In Rhinacanthus Nasutus (L.) Kurz. Against Acute Ozone Exposure, Nadesan Sudhakar, D. Nagendra Prasad, N. Mohan, K. Murugesan

Turkish Journal of Botany

Studies were undertaken for induction of resistance against acute ozone exposure in Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz. plants using ozone. Callus induced from Rhinacanthus nasutus leaf explants on Murashige & Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 3.40 µM of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) were treated with different concentrations of ozone (T_1 = 1.0 µmol mol^{-1} (±0.2), T_2 = 1.5 µmol mol^{-1} (±0.2), T_3 = 2.0 µmol mol^{-1} (±0.2)), and for the control (C) filtered air was supplied. Regeneration of shoots was obtained by culturing ozone-treated calli on MS medium supplemented with 5.57 µM of kinetin (KIN) and 1.30 µM of gibberellic acid …


Evaluation Of Karyotype Status Of Musa L. Somaclonal Variants (Musaceae: Zingiberales), Gordian C. Obute, Philip C. Aziagba Jan 2007

Evaluation Of Karyotype Status Of Musa L. Somaclonal Variants (Musaceae: Zingiberales), Gordian C. Obute, Philip C. Aziagba

Turkish Journal of Botany

Tissue culture regenerated materials of Musa L. spp. (banana and plantain) along with their somaclonal variants were assessed for karyotype abnormalities to be used as indicators for rapid cytological marking. The results show that although slight variations were noted in karyomorphometric characters, like chromosome number, arm length, total chromosome length, and total chromosome volume, these were not significant (P £ 0.05). Therefore, chromosomal abnormalities may not be accurate markers for somaclonal variation in these species. The need to not overemphasise chromosomal instability resulting from culture techniques was highlighted. Other possible causes of somaclonal variations were proposed to explain this phenomenon …

Seb. & Mauri var. crocea (Boiss & Heldr.) Baker and var. leichtliniana (Heldr. ex Hal.) Bég., growing sporadically in south-western Turkey, the existence of pollen type variability (monosulcate, disulcate, trisulcate, trisynsulcate, tetrasulcate, penta-aperturate (with longer and shorter sulci), and monoporate) from single pollen sacs was recorded for the first time.
