The Efficacy Of Spinosad On Different Strains Of Spodoptera Littoralis (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Hi̇lal Aydin, M. Oktay Gürkan

Turkish Journal of Biology

The cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval), was collected from commercial cotton production fields in Adana, Turkey, and tested for susceptibility to the insecticide spinosad. The susceptibility of the field strain was also compared to the susceptible strain (S) of S. littoralis. Lethal dose bioassays were performed with third instar larvae using the leaf dip method. The LC50 values for field and susceptible strains were 43.691 and 10.037 ppm, respectively. When LC50 values and 95% confidence intervals were compared with a susceptible laboratory reference strain, the field strain was approximately 4.4-fold less sensitive than the susceptible strain. The present study suggests …

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.

Turkish Journal of Biology

Specimens of Silene multifida (Adams) Rohrb. were collected in the vicinity of Yomra, Trabzon, Turkey. The fresh plants were air-dried and chopped. This material was extracted with cold chloroform (CHCl3). The chloroform extract was dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), and, following column chromatography, 6 fractions were obtained. The serial dilutions (0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 10 mg/ml) of these fractions were prepared in 5% Tween 20. The fractions were tested for antimicrobial activity using the agar diffusion technique against 6 bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Esherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus vulgaris, and 1 fungus, Candida albicans.

Isolation And Characterization Of Four Isoinhibitors From Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Seeds, Reda Helmy Ahmed Sammour

Turkish Journal of Biology

Four isoinhibitors of trypsin have been isolated from the cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., in a highly purified state, as indicated by Urea-SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, equilibrium chromatography, and amino acid analysis. The amino acid composition was characterized by the absence of free -SH groups, high half-cysteine, and the absence of tryptophan and methionine in isoinhibitors II and III. Isoinhibitor II contained 96 amino acid residues, whereas isoinhibitor III contained 80. Isoinhibitor II had lysine in the reactive site, while isoinhibitor III had arginine. Isoinhibitor IA inhibited trypsin only, while isoinhibitors IB, II, and III inhibited both trypsin and \alpha-chymotrypsin, indicating …

The Effect Of Acid Digestion On The Recoveries Of Trace Elements: Recommended Policies For The Elimination Of Losses, Güler Somer, Arzu Nakişci Ünlü Jan 2006

The Effect Of Acid Digestion On The Recoveries Of Trace Elements: Recommended Policies For The Elimination Of Losses, Güler Somer, Arzu Nakişci Ünlü

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Digestion of biological materials is very important for trace element determinations. Although the microwave technique is mostly used, there are cases where open wet digestion is needed. This study examined the optimum conditions for the minimum loss of trace elements during the wet digestion of a sample. The effect of acid composition and digestion time for about 21 ions was investigated. The trace element concentrations were determined by differential pulse polarography. For the digestion procedure, a HClO_4-HNO_3 mixture was used for the first step and, after its evaporation (60 min), HCl was added as the second step, since in some …

On The Taxonomy Of Plantaginaceae Juss. Sensu Lato: Evidence From Sem Of The Seed Coat, Azza Ahmed Shehata, Mohamed Hesham A. Loutfy Jan 2006

On The Taxonomy Of Plantaginaceae Juss. Sensu Lato: Evidence From Sem Of The Seed Coat, Azza Ahmed Shehata, Mohamed Hesham A. Loutfy

Turkish Journal of Botany

SEM of the seed coat was studied in 41 taxa of the Plantaginaceae sensu lato. The study included 31 taxa of Plantago L. and 10 taxa that were formerly assigned to the Scrophulariaceae, representing the genera Antirrhinum L., Digitalis L., Linaria Mill. and Veronica L. The obtained data were analysed by the NT sys-PC program package using the UPGMA clustering method. The study showed that Veronica possessed certain affinities to Plantago species, thus giving extra support to earlier views that Plantaginaceae sensu stricto and Scrophulariaceae sensu lato are allied through Veronica. The study also favoured the paraphyly of Plantago subgenus …

The Feeding Biology Of Ophisops Elegans Menetries, 1832 (Reptilia: Lacertidae) Populations Of The Bursa Region, Abdulmüttali̇p Akkaya, İsmai̇l Hakki Uğurtaş

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The feeding biology of Ophisops elegans inhabiting Bursa was investigated. Stomach contents of 66 adult (28 males, 38 females) specimens collected from 3 localities were investigated by numerical analysis. Most of the foods of the Ophisops elegans specimens were insects (64.58%), the majority of which were of larval form (19.44%). Two specimens that were collected from Gürsu were maintained in a terrarium to observe their feeding behaviors. During observations, Ophisops elegans exhibited various feeding behaviors depending on the type of prey and sometimes bit and ate pieces of its prey (legs, wings, etc.).

Secure Digital Communication Using Chaotic Symbolic Dynamics, Ajeesh P. Kurian, Sadasivan Puthusserypady Jan 2006

Secure Digital Communication Using Chaotic Symbolic Dynamics, Ajeesh P. Kurian, Sadasivan Puthusserypady

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the major hurdles in implementing chaotic communication schemes is the synchronization of chaotic systems. For the last two decades, numerous contributions of varying successes have been made by researchers from different disciplines for the synchronization of chaotic systems. Symbolic dynamics based synchronization method is shown to be capable of providing high quality synchronization (HQS), which is essential for reliable communication. In this work, using this method, a secure digital communication system is proposed. The well known piece-wise linear 1-D map such as tent map and Bernoulli shift map are used for this study. Since the information is dynamically …
