Production Of Gibberellic Acid And Cytokinin By Phanerochaete Chrysosporiumme446 Immobilized On Polyurethane Foam, Serpi̇l Ünyayar
Production Of Gibberellic Acid And Cytokinin By Phanerochaete Chrysosporiumme446 Immobilized On Polyurethane Foam, Serpi̇l Ünyayar
Turkish Journal of Biology
The fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was entrapped on polyurethane foam to synthesize gibberellic acid (GA 3 equivalent) and Cytokinin (zeatin equivalent). Maximum gibberellic acid was defined on the 6 th day (44.43 µg/mL and 61.22 µg/mL, respectively) in both free and immobilized cells. Maximum cytokinin was defined on the 12 th day (9.61µg/mL and 16.33 µg/mL, respectively) in both free and immobilized cells. An immobilized system of gibberellic acid and cytokinin production resulted in comparatively higher yield than free fungal mycelium.
Effects Of Gibberellic Acid On Male Sterility, Seed Yield And Oil And Fatty Acid Syntheses Of Safflower ( Carthamus Tinctorius L.), Hasan Baydar
Turkish Journal of Biology
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) on male and female sterility, seed yield, oil and fatty acid syntheses, growth and development properties in safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius var. Yenice). GA 3 was applied in five different doses at three different stages, and induced male sterility at a rate of up to 93.0%. This finding has important implications for the practical use of GA 3 in hybrid seed production. GA 3 applications significantly decreased the seed yield per plant both in isolation and non-isolation. Although fatty acid syntheses did not change …
