Various sampling and culture studies are carried out for different benthic organisms. Developing and applying methodologies suitable for the targeted group provides a basis for enabling extensive and more detailed studies. Botryllid ascidians, which our study group focused on, are a critical benthic group that should be studied considering their evolutionary and ecological characteristics. They are the closest relatives of higher vertebrates (Craniata), which are capable of whole-body regeneration, and therefore, they can be used in phylogenetic/phylogenomic studies involving ancestral lineage studies of vertebrates; as well as being used as organisms in the study of complex processes, including the evolution of the immune system, developmental biology, and whole-body regeneration. In addition, these filter-feeding organisms in seawater are in a critical position for protecting and sustaining marine ecosystems. They are used as potential water quality indicators because they are sensitive to anthropogenic pollution and eutrophication in their natural spread areas. Moreover, the organism and its symbionts contain bioactive molecules that can be used in biotechnology, pharmacology and medicine. However, studies on botryllid ascidians on our coasts are limited. This study aims to explain the optimised methods for field sampling and aquaculture of botryllid ascidian species. Depending on the following research questions, both live and fixed sampling methods will be described, and the factors to be considered in the cultivation will be detailed with photographs. Designated and explained methods contributed to future studies on botryllid ascidians by being the guidance; hence, it can help to increase the studies focusing on botryllid ascidians and their unique features.

DNA fingerprinting and genetic characterization of Anatolian Triticum spp. using AFLP markers Yildirim, Figen; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-08-01) In this study, genetic analysis of Triticum spp. was carried out using AFLP markers. Six AFLP selective combinations were scored as presence and absence of bands for all the individual samples obtained from a single seed of each accession (70 accessions); T. baeoticum (21), T. monococcum (5), T. urartu (16), T. araraticum (7), T. dicoccoides (16) and T. dicoccon (5), resulting in 506 polymorphic AFLP bands. The phylogenetic tree showed two major clusters; one was composed of T. monococcum (AA) and T. baeoti...
Abiotic stress tolerance and growth responses of transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) plants expressing rice Osmyb4 gene AYDIN, GÜLSÜM; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-23) MYB transcription factors are involved in diverse biochemical and physiological processes such as regulation of secondary metabolism, meristem formation, cell morphogenesis and floral and seed development. They are also involved in certain defence and stress responses and in hormone signalling. In the present study, we developed transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) expressing Oryza sativa myb4 gene, encoding MYB4 transcription factor, driven by either CaMV35S constitutive promoter or cold i...
Life History Strategies of Non-Indigenous Por’s Goatfish (Upeneus pori) and Confamilial Red Mullet (Mullus barbatus) in The Northeastern Mediterranean Ok, Meltem; Gücü, Ali Cemal (2013-11-01) In this study, allocation of energy and time for growth and reproduction of M. barbatus and U. pori were investigated to understand life history strategies adapted by a native and non-indigenous confamilial species based on multidisciplinary survey data collected in three successive years in the NE Mediterranean. The results indicated that the species seem to fulfill their biological activities within a short period of time when the highest productivity is reached in the area. The native fish exhibits fast ...
Immune modulatory effects of pediococcus pentosaceus derived membrane vesicles: mechanism of action and therapeutic applications Alpdündar Bulut, Esin; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2018) In our previous studies, we characterized 5 different human gram positive commensal bacteria derived membrane vesicles (MVs) and compared their activity with non-pathogenic E.coli derived membrane vesicles. Results showed that commensal bacteria derived MVs had immunomodulatory properties whereas non-pathogenic E.coli derived membrane vesicles had immune stimulatory properties. In this thesis, we aimed to focus our attention to Pediococcus pentosaceus-derived MVs that displayed the highest immunomodulatory ...
Taxonomic Relationships in Turkish Verbascum L. Group A (Scrophulariaceae): Evidence from SDS-PAGE of Seed Proteins and a Numerical Taxonomic Study ÇELEBİ KESKİN, AYTEN; Karaveliogullari, Faik Ahmet; AÇIK, LEYLA; Celep, Ferhat (2009-01-01) Objective: The aim of this study is to clarify the taxonomic relationships of Turkish Verbascum species in Group A by means of seed protein profiles and numerical taxonomic study.
