Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The presence of a Raphidascarid parasitic nematode Hysterothylacium aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) in the sparid fish Sparus aurata and Diplodus vulgaris was investigated in this study. A total of 471 individuals (208 Sparus aurata and 263 Diplodus vulgaris) collected for this purpose from the Gulf of Mersin between May 2003 and April 2004 were examined. Seasonal variation in the intensity (MI: mean ± SD) and prevalence (P: %) of the parasite were also determined and the highest P and MI values were found in June 2003 (3.5 ± 0.71 and 8.70%) for S. aurata and March 2004 (4.0 ± 0 and …

Identification And Characterization Of Hydrolytic Enzymes From The Midgut Of The Cotton Bollworm, Helicoverpa Armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Ebru Özgür, Meral Yücel, Hüseyi̇n Avni̇ Öktem Jan 2009

Identification And Characterization Of Hydrolytic Enzymes From The Midgut Of The Cotton Bollworm, Helicoverpa Armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Ebru Özgür, Meral Yücel, Hüseyi̇n Avni̇ Öktem

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Midgut hydrolytic enzymes of Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were identified and partially characterized. K_m, V_{max}, optimum pH, and specific activity were determined for proteolytic enzymes and \alpha-amylases. All hydrolytic enzyme activity had an optimum pH value in the alkaline pH range. We observed major serine protease activity, together with minor cysteine-like activity, the former being significantly inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) and aprotinin. Moreover, different degrees of inhibition were observed with synthetic protease inhibitors. Electrophoretic methods revealed 3 isozymes of \alpha-amylases, of which 2 had higher molecular weight and were more active than the other. Inhibition of amylolytic …

Putative Agents Of Fig Mosaic Disease In Turkey, Kadri̇ye Çağlayan, Vicente Medina, Mona Gazel, Çi̇ğdem U. Serçe, Luis Serrano, Angeles Achon, Soner Soylu, Oğuzhan Çalişkan, Mustafa Gümüş

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Leaves from 58 fig tree accessions showing different severity of mosaic and necrotic symptoms were collected in 2 different regions of Turkey and analysed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and RT-PCR to determine putative causal agents of fig mosaic disease (FMD). Ultrastructural studies showed that double membrane-bound bodies (DMBs) were mainly observed in the parenchyma and mesophyll cells of infected leaves of the cultivars Göklop and Morgüz and some seedlings showing only mosaic symptoms. These bodies were surrounded by a fibrillar matrix in most of the infected cells. Long, flexuous rod-shaped virus-like particles (LFPs) were also observed in vascular tissues …


Production And Characterization Of Multifunctional Endoxylanase By Bacillus Sp. X13, Ashabil Aygan, Burhan Arikan Jan 2009

Production And Characterization Of Multifunctional Endoxylanase By Bacillus Sp. X13, Ashabil Aygan, Burhan Arikan

Turkish Journal of Biology

A multifunctional endoxylanase producing Bacillus sp. was isolated from soil. Enzyme synthesis occurred at temperatures between 20 °C and 60 °C with an optimum 37 °C. Analysis of the enzyme by SDS-PAGE revealed 4 active enzyme bands, which were estimated to be 66.5 kDa, 80.6 kDa, 95.5 kDa, and 108.4 kDa. The enzyme has a broad temperature range, between 20 and 90 °C, with an optimum at 40 °C; and maximum activity was at pH 6.0. The enzyme showed a gradual decrease in the remaining activity as the pre-incubation temperature increase. Thermostability was not also increased in the presence of …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new tetraoxime, (H_4L), was prepared in EtOH by reacting biphenyl-3,3´,4,4´-tetramine with butane-2,3-dione oxime. The tetraoxime ligand was characterized by elemental analyses, H-NMR and ^{13}C-NMR, IR, and mass spectral studies. Dinuclear copper(II), nickel(II) and tetranuclear copper(II) complexes of tetraoxime ligand were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moments, IR, and mass spectral studies. In the dinuclear metal complexes, metal:ligand ratio was found as 2:1. Elemental analyses and stoichiometric and spectroscopic data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal ions were coordinated to the nitrogen atoms of oxime groups (C=N). In addition, total energy and heat formation for ligand …

Turkish Journal of Biology

A plaque-purified genotypic variant, derived from a field isolate of the Malacosoma neustria nucleopolyhedrovirus (ManeNPV) from Turkey was characterized based on in vitro replication properties in a cell line, Md203 derived from Malacosoma disstria. The life cycle of ManeNPV was studied based on the cytopathic effects (CPEs), polyhedral inclusion body (PIB) formation, budded virus (BV) production, viral DNA replication and polyhedrin protein expression in ManeNPV-infected Md203 cells. Infection of Md203 cells with ManeNPV resulted in cytopathic effects within 24 and 36 h post infection and most cells detachted from the bottom of the culture plate on the fourth day. Typical …

Genetic Repairing Through Storage Of Gamma Irradiated Seeds In Inbred Maize (Zea Mays L.), Girjesh Kumar, Prashant Kumar Rai Jan 2009

Genetic Repairing Through Storage Of Gamma Irradiated Seeds In Inbred Maize (Zea Mays L.), Girjesh Kumar, Prashant Kumar Rai

Turkish Journal of Biology

Gamma irradiation can induce beneficial as well as deleterious impacts on chromosome behavior in crop plants. The cytogenetic changes occurring due to the storage of inbred seeds after gamma irradiation in the somatic and gametic cells of Zea mays L. were investigated in this study. A wide spectrum of chromosomal anomalies was encountered in somatic and gametic cells of maize that are gamma irradiated, stored (aged), and treated with a combination of both of these treatments. Gamma rays and ageing treatments induced a number of chromosomal anomalies independently, but a combination of the 2 treatments suppressed the frequency of chromosomal …

Turkish Journal of Biology

Free radicals and other active derivatives of oxygen inactivate enzymes and important plant cellular components. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been identified as essential components in an organism´s defence mechanism. This study was devoted to the investigation of SOD activity in 13 durum wheat landraces from Iran and Azerbaijan under 2 (drought and normal) conditions. The effect of drought stress on SOD, chlorophyll content index (CCI), and chlorophyll degradation were studied. Significant differences between genotypes and the genotype × environment interaction among SOD and CCI content were identified. The mean comparison showed that the contents of SOD and CCI decreased in …

Turkish Journal of Botany

Cyclamen trochopteranthum O.Schwarz has a confusing history, having been identified in the last part of the 19^{th} century and described as Cyclamen alpinum Sprenger. It remained known as C. alpinum until 1975, when it was described as C. trochopteranthum by Otto Schwarz. Cyclamen trochopteranthum is a species distributed in the south-western part of Turkey, but the C. trochopteranthum described in 1975 is today describe again as Cyclamen alpinum. The seeds of this species were collected from red pine forests in the Gökbel-Dalyan area on May 3-7 and stored with and without capsules in incubators at 20 °C. Among the seeds …

Diversity Of Endophytic Fungi From Various Aegean And Mediterranean Orchids (Saleps), Yüksel Gezgi̇n, Rengi̇n Eltem

Turkish Journal of Botany

The diversity and host specificity of endophytic and Rhizoctonia-like fungi were investigated in orchids from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions. Endophytic fungi from various Aegean and Mediterranean orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis (L.) L.C.M.Richard, Orchis sancta L., Ophrys fusca Link., and Serapias vomeracea subsp. orientalis Greuter) were isolated and identified partially. Surface sterilisation of roots and tubers was carried out in laminar airflow under aseptic conditions. Several modified methods for the isolation of symbiotic fungi from orchid roots and tubers were used. Most of the orchid endophytes isolated was found to be Fusarium Link ex Fr. spp. A total of 47 isolates, …
