Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was conducter to determine the effects of time (autumn and spring) and dose (0, 4, 8 and 12 kg N/da) of nitrogen applications on seed yield and yield components of smooth bromegrass. The study was carried out under irrigated condi-tions in Erzurum, in crop seasons of 1986-1992. According to the mean of five years data nitrogen fertilization is recommended for high seed yield. Application of N as 4 kg/da in autumn+8 kg/da N in spring is effective for high seed yield (40.6 kg/da) and straw yield (959.8 kg/da) under irrigated conditions.

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study the obtention of in vitro haploid plants from haploid embryos induced by pollination with irradiated pollen was investigated. The haploid embryos of four cucumber genotypes obtained in different season of the year were cultured on the E20A medium under aseptic condition in 1992-1994. The percentage of embryos that turned into plantlets, duration needed for plant formation, and in situ plantlet development were investigated. Also, the micropropagation possibility with clonning and propagation coefficient of plantlets were determined. The ability of embryos at advanced-stages to form plants was found to be higher (60 % in the first year and …

The Role Of Protein Synthesis On The Adhesionstrength Of Chl Cells, Ali Yildirim, William Jd Whish

Turkish Journal of Biology

Cells require protein synthesis to perform the adhesion function properly. In order to dis-cover the effect of endogenous protein synthesis on CHL cell adhesion; the adhesion strengths of cul-tured Chinese Hamster Lung (CHL) cells that were grown for 24 hours on the glass surface in the pres-ence of 1µgml -1 of cycloheximide or emetine or, both were measured quantitatively using a converg-ing laminar flow chamber. The inhibition of protein synthesis by above drug(s) reduced cell adhesion strength significantly. Hence critical shear stress of detachment of cell were 8.68±1.52 Nm -2 , 8.13±1.48Nm -2 , and 6.57±1.01Nm -2 , respectively. While …


Recent Developments In Molecular Genetics Of Plantdisease Resistance, Hüseyin Basim Jan 1998

Recent Developments In Molecular Genetics Of Plantdisease Resistance, Hüseyin Basim

Turkish Journal of Biology

The field of plant-microbe interactions has seen several recent break-throughs as cloning and characterization of resistance ( R) genes from plants and avirulence ( avr) genes from pathogens. Although genetics, histology, and biochemistry of plant disease resistance are well known at the cellu-lar and population levels, a full understanding of pathogen resistance in plants at molecular level is recently becoming feasible throught cloning and sequencing of several putatively interacting plant and pathogen genes. This knowledge may lead to the establishment of important strategies in plant dis-ease control. The objective of this review is to provide a short and selective overview …


Correlations Between Changes In The Amount Ofendogenous Phytohormones And Flowering In Thesafflower ( Carthamus Tinctoriusl.), Hasan Baydar, Salih Ülger Jan 1998

Correlations Between Changes In The Amount Ofendogenous Phytohormones And Flowering In Thesafflower ( Carthamus Tinctoriusl.), Hasan Baydar, Salih Ülger

Turkish Journal of Biology

Changes in the amounts of endogenous gibberellic acid (GA 3 ), indole-3-acedic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) during different growth periods of the safflower were studied by high-perfor-mance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A correlation was confirmed between low levels of GA 3 , as well as high levels of ABA, and the initia-tion of flowering. IAA reached its maximum level during bud formation, indicating that IAA might play an active role in the differentiation of bud formation. Changes in the amount of endogenous phytohormones in flower buds located in different parts of the plant indicate that ABA in particular plays …


A Study On The Phytoplankton Of Hasan Uğurludam Lake (Samsun-Turkey), Arif Gönülol, Olcay Obali Jan 1998

A Study On The Phytoplankton Of Hasan Uğurludam Lake (Samsun-Turkey), Arif Gönülol, Olcay Obali

Turkish Journal of Biology

The composition and seasonal variations of phytoplankton of Hasan UGURLU Dam Lake were studied using samples collected from two stations between July 1992 to December 1993. 57 taxa were identified belonging to the Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, Dinophyta and Euglenophyta divisions of phytoplankton. In the phytoplankton, Asterionella formosa, Cyclotella planc-tonica, Pediastrum simplex and Ceratium hirundinella caused water blooms in certain months. The light density and temperature affected the composition and seasonal variations in phytoplankton considerably. Nutrient levels in the lake did not limit the seasonal variations in phytoplankton. It was determined that Lake Hasan Ugurlu had mesotrophic characteristics because of the …

Rodent species in 17 selected localities were determined, and these localities were then compared with respect to rodent species composition. It was determined that a total of 27 rodent species are found in these localities, the number in each locality ranging from 6 to 12. Species previ-ously recorded in mixed and decidous forests in northern Asiatic Turkey, such as Glis glis, Muscardinus avellanarius, Microtus subterraneus and Clethrionomys glareolus, were found not to range across forested localities in west and south Asiatic Turkey in the dry summer season. It was also determined that rodents, which live in similar habitats in different …

Decolorization Of Orange Ii Dye With The Crudeculture Filtrate Of White Rot Fungus, Coriolusversi-Color, Özfer Yeşi̇lada, Birgül Özcan

Turkish Journal of Biology

Decolorization of Orange II dye was demonstrated with crude culture filtrate of white rot fungus, Coriolus versicolor. It was determined that the rate and extent of decolorization were depend-ent on the age (growth phase) of the crude culture filtrate (CCF). Dye decolorization abilities of the CCF of Funalia trogii, Pleurotus sajor-caju and Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446, after incubation for 12 days, were also studied. Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was observed to be unable to decolorize any of 4 dyes used. Cyanide and azide, which are known inhibitors of enzyme, inhibited dye decolorization ability of the CCF. Heat treatment terminated decolorization activity of …

Sex Pheromones Of The Cereal Pest Eurygaster Inte-Gricepsputon (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae)- Atheoretical Study, Lemi Türker Jan 1998

Sex Pheromones Of The Cereal Pest Eurygaster Inte-Gricepsputon (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae)- Atheoretical Study, Lemi Türker

Turkish Journal of Biology

AM1-type molecular orbital calculations were performed on the geometry-optimized struc-tures of various 4-(1', 5' - dimethly -4' - heptenylidene) -1- methylcyclohexene isomers. It was found that the major component (4Z, 4'E isomer) of the sex pheromone of Eurygoaster integriceps is very dissimilar in chemical composition to the other isomers, although the stabilities and heats of the for-mation characteristics are comparable. However, some small molecules resembling only a part of the pheromone might exhibit some partial activity.

Turkish Journal of Biology

The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of Carbosulfan (the effective ingredient in Marshal, a carbamate insecticide/nematocide), Ethyl Carbamate (EC=carcinogen and Ethyl Methanesulfonat (EMS=mutagen) separately and in mixtures to induce sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in human lymphocytes and to nivestigate whether the test substances, as a mixture had any syn-ergistic or antogonistic effect. Carbosulfan separately weakly induced SCE during the 48 hour treat-ment. Although EC separately could not induce SCE, EMS separately induced dose-dependently SCE at 24 and 48 hour treatments. EC increased the RI, while Carbosulfan and EMS decreased it during the 48 hour treatment. The …

Drug Yield And Essential Oil Of Thymus Vulgaris L. As In Influenced By Ecological And Ontogenetical Variation, Mensure Özgüven, Sezen Tansi

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Drug yield and volatile oil content and its components of Thymus vulgaris were investigated during the different growing periods under both lowland and mountainous conditions. The highest drug yields were obtained from lowland conditions during the post flowering stage. Also, it has been determined that environmental conditions have significantly influenced the harvest dates. The 17 components were identified in the essential oil of Thyme. Essential oil content and its components were significantly affected by both climatic and ecological conditions and various harvest dates.
