In Vitro Clonal Propagation Of A Multipurpose Tree, Ziziphus Spina-Christi (L.) Desf., C. Sudhersan, J. Hussain

Turkish Journal of Botany

A simple and efficient protocol for the clonal micropropagation of Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf., a multipurpose native tree species highly adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of Kuwait, has been established using shoot tips and stem nodal segments as explants. The explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium with and without growth regulators. The nodal segments and shoot tips isolated from the primary cultures were cultured on hormone-free MS media containing 100 mg/l myo-Inositol, 150 mg/l glutamine and 2.5% sucrose for plant growth and elongation. Shoots for multiplication were maintained on MS media with low concentrations of …

Turkish Journal of Botany

In this study the aspartate aminotransferase (AAT, E.C. 2.6.1.1), phosphoglucomutase (PGM, E.C. 5.4.2.2) and phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, E.C. 5.3.1.9) isozyme patterns of nine different diploid and tetraploid wild wheat species belonging to the Aegilops L. and Triticum L. genera were analysed electrophoretically, using horizontal starch gel and non-denaturating polyacrylamide gel (only for AAT). All species were found to have three AAT isozyme zones (except for the AAT of Aegilops speltoides Tausch on starch gel) on both gels. While the migration distances of AAT-1 isozyme were similar, the AAT-2 and AAT-3 band patterns were different on both gels. A single PGI …

Seasonal Variations In The Biomass Of Macro-Algal Communities From The Gulf Of Antalya (North-Eastern Mediterranean), İsmai̇l İbrahi̇m Turna, Ö. Osman Ertan, Mario Cormaci, Giovanni Furnari Jan 2002

Seasonal Variations In The Biomass Of Macro-Algal Communities From The Gulf Of Antalya (North-Eastern Mediterranean), İsmai̇l İbrahi̇m Turna, Ö. Osman Ertan, Mario Cormaci, Giovanni Furnari

Turkish Journal of Botany

In this study, the seasonal variations in the macro-algal biomass in the Gulf of Antalya (north-eastern Mediterranean) were investigated. The seasonal variations of the macro-algal biomass were found to be related to the biology of the abundant species during less favourable seasons. These variations occurred usually as a result of a significant reduction in algal density [Padina pavonica (L.) J.V.Lamour., Dasycladus vermicularis (Scopoli) Krasser, Chondrophycus papillosus (C.Agardh) Garbay & Harper] or loss of major part of their thallus [Cystoseira spp., Liagora distenta (Mertens ex Roth) J.V.Lamour., Liagora viscida (Forssk.) C.Agardh]. The highest values of biomass were found to be in …


Effect Of Indole-3-Butyric Acid On In Vitro Root Development In Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.), Khalid Mahmood Khawar, Sebahatti̇n Özcan Jan 2002

Effect Of Indole-3-Butyric Acid On In Vitro Root Development In Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.), Khalid Mahmood Khawar, Sebahatti̇n Özcan

Turkish Journal of Botany

Lentil is an important crop of the family Leguminosae and is notoriously recalcitrant to rooting in vitro. Shoots of cultivar \"Ali Dayı\" of lentil obtained after culturing seeds for 10 days on MS medium were isolated and rooted on MS medium containing indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/l. The primary response was obtained after 4 weeks; 0.25 mg/l IBA gave the best results, with a rooting percentage of 25%, mean number of 7.87 roots along with mean root length of 7.13 cm. However, all other concentrations of IBA failed to induce roots.

P-Protein Structure In Functional And Non-Functional Secondary Phloem In Armeniaca Vulgaris Lam. (Rosaceae), Gönül Algan, H. Nurhan Bakar Büyükkartal Jan 2002

P-Protein Structure In Functional And Non-Functional Secondary Phloem In Armeniaca Vulgaris Lam. (Rosaceae), Gönül Algan, H. Nurhan Bakar Büyükkartal

Turkish Journal of Botany

P-proteins (phloem proteins) and their conformational changes in the functional and non-functional sieve elements in secondary phloem of Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. (Rosaceae) were examined with an electron microscope. Scattered throughout the cell, the fibrillar components of p-protein in active sieve elements were much denser sieve plate surfaces. P-proteins in inactive sieve elements, different from those of active ones, were observed to appear as disordered, short, thread-like fibrils with fern-like crystalline structure.


Influence Of The Inorganic Carbon Addition On Photosynthesis Of Algae And Some Macrophytes, Meri̇ç Albay, Jan Pokorny Jan 2002

Influence Of The Inorganic Carbon Addition On Photosynthesis Of Algae And Some Macrophytes, Meri̇ç Albay, Jan Pokorny

Turkish Journal of Botany

A two-step experiment was conducted in order to understand whether natural algal communities (fish-pond water) and selected macrophytes (Potamogeton pectinatus L. Elodea nuttallii (Planch.). St.John. and Utricularia L. sp.) + algae were limited by lack of inorganic carbon (IC). First, 0.6 ml 1 M KHCO_3- was added to the water of Vajgar and Ratmirovsky ponds, South Bohemia, and incubated for 180 minutes under 125 µE m^{-2} s^{-1} light. Then light intensity was increased to 150 µE m^{-2} s^{-1} and 0.6 ml 1 M KHCO_3- was added to selected macrophytes + Vajgar pond waters and incubated for 50 and 180 minutes. …

Growth, Proline Accumulation And Ionic Relations Of Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum L.) As Influenced By Nacl And Na_2so_4 Salinity, Ali̇ İnal Jan 2002

Growth, Proline Accumulation And Ionic Relations Of Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum L.) As Influenced By Nacl And Na_2so_4 Salinity, Ali̇ İnal

Turkish Journal of Botany

Salinity depresses ion activities, decreases the ratios of plant nutrients to Na and Cl ions, and consecutively suppresses plant growth. The objective of the present study was to distinguish the effects of NaCl and Na_2SO_4 salinity on the growth, ionic relations and proline accumulation of tomato plants. Tomato plants were grown for two months. Plant growth was reduced, but proline accumulation was enhanced by salinity. Total N and NO_3-N content of plants were decreased by both NaCl and Na_2SO_4 salinity. Sulphur content was not affected by the salt treatments. Salinity caused nutrient imbalances. The Na and Cl contents of plants …


Changes In Abscisic Acid And Indole-3-Acetic Acid Concentrations In Funalia Trogii (Berk.) Bondartsev & Singer And Phanerochaete Chrysosporium Burds. Me446 Subjected To Salt Stress, Serpi̇l Ünyayar Jan 2002

Changes In Abscisic Acid And Indole-3-Acetic Acid Concentrations In Funalia Trogii (Berk.) Bondartsev & Singer And Phanerochaete Chrysosporium Burds. Me446 Subjected To Salt Stress, Serpi̇l Ünyayar

Turkish Journal of Botany

Variations in abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations were studied in Funalia trogii (Berk.) Bondartsev & Singer and Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds. ME446 subjected to salt stress. The levels of ABA and IAA were determined by gas chromatography (GC) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The levels of hormones vary in the regulation of growth and in response to stress. It was found that ABA concentrations were higher in the salt stressed groups than in the control groups, whereas IAA concentrations were lower. These results show that, in fungi, ABA concentrations are positively and IAA concentrations negatively correlated with salt stress.
