Origin And Tectonic Significance Of The Metamorphic Sole And Isolated Dykes Of The Divriği Ophiolite (Sivas, Turkey): Evidence For Slab Break-Off Prior To Ophiolite Emplacement, Osman Parlak, Hüseyi̇n Yilmaz, Durmuş Boztuğ

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Late Cretaceous Divriği ophiolite of east-central Anatolia comprises, from bottom to top, an ophiolitic mélange, metamorphic sole and remnants of oceanic lithosphere. The ophiolitic mélange has been thrust onto the Lower Carboniferous-Campanian Munzur Limestone (Tauride platform), and is in turn tectonically overlain by the metamorphic sole. The metamorphic-sole rocks are represented by amphibolite, plagioclase amphibolite, plagioclase-amphibole schist, plagioclase-epidote-amphibole schist and calc-schist. The oceanic-lithosphere remnant exhibits a complete section, excluding volcanic rocks, comprising mantle tectonites, ultramafic to mafic cumulates, isotropic gabbros and sheeted dykes. Isolated dykes intrude the metamorphic sole and mantle tectonites at different structural levels. The metamorphic-sole rocks …

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 …

Contact Metamorphism Around The Eocene Saraycık Granodiorite, Eastern Pontides, Turkey, Gülteki̇n Topuz Jan 2006

Contact Metamorphism Around The Eocene Saraycık Granodiorite, Eastern Pontides, Turkey, Gülteki̇n Topuz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Eocene Saraycık granodiorite, eastern Pontides, Turkey, is a small post-tectonic intrusive body (~11 km2), cross-cutting tectonically juxtaposed distinct metamorphic and non-metamorphic lithologies. A ~0.8 to 1-km-wide contact-metamorphic aureole has developed around the intrusion. Disequilibrium is prevalent in all lithologies, even in the inner zones of the contact aureole. Conditions of contact metamorphism are estimated by simple phase equilibria applied to microdomains in the metapelitic lithologies without obvious signs of disequilibrium: Shallow emplacement depths (0.21±0.05 GPa = ~5-8 km) are suggested by contact-metamorphic mineral assemblages (e.g., andalusite + corundum + K-feldspar), by Al-in-hornblende barometry on granodiorite and by partial melting …


Technical Efficiency Analysis Of Tobacco Farming In Southeastern Anatolia, Mustafa Necat Ören, Tuna Alemdar Jan 2006

Technical Efficiency Analysis Of Tobacco Farming In Southeastern Anatolia, Mustafa Necat Ören, Tuna Alemdar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The technical efficiencies of tobacco farms in Southeastern Anatolia were estimated with parametric and non-parametric methods. Data obtained from 149 tobacco farms were used in the empirical analysis. Results obtained with an output oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were compared to those obtained from Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the differences are discussed. According to the results of the DEA model, mean efficiency of tobacco farmers was found to be 0.45 and 0.56 for Constant and Variable Returns to Scale (CRS and VRS) assumptions, respectively. Mean technical efficiency obtained with the SFA model was found to be 0.54. A strong …

Teucrium Chasmophyticum Rech. F. (Lamiaceae): A New Record For The Flora Of Turkey, Ali̇ Arslan Dönmez

Turkish Journal of Botany

An interesting chasmophytic Teucrium specimen was collected from Siirt, SE Turkey. It was identified according to the Flora of Turkey as T. paederotoides but with some doubt about certain characters. It was identified as T. chasmophyticum without any doubt from Flora Iranica. Because of some indistinct points between these 2 taxa, the recently described taxon was re-evaluated. The type specimen of the taxon was examined at W herbarium and its revised description is given here. A photograph of the type specimen and the Turkish material taken from the field is supplied along with a map.
