The objective of the study was to investigate the optimum conditions for in vitro regeneration of common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) by using indirect organogenesis approach. Throughout the study; callus induction, organogenesis, improved organogenesis and root induction experiments were performed sequentially. It was found that explant position, genotype, gender, treatments and sampling time had significant effects on callus induction rate in common juniper. The results of treatments indicated that IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) at concentration range 0.5-4.0 mg/l combined with MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l BAP (benzylaminopurine), 3 % sucrose and 0.7% agar was the best one among the treatments to induce callus formation from common juniper explants collected as Spring buds. Also, a two-month culture was adequate period for the callus induction of common juniper regardless of position, before transferring the explants into organogenesis media. After a two-month culture in callus induction media, explants were transferred to organogenesis treatments in order to investigate adventitious bud development from callus tissues. There were significant differences among genotypes, treatments and explant-sampling times in initiation of organ development in common juniper. Additionally, it was found that excluding the auxin components while maintaining 1.0-2.0 mg/l BAP concentration in culture media, as refreshing after a month, stimulated the formation and development of adventitious buds and shoots. Among the treatments tested, it was found that 1.0 mg/l BAP plus 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D was the optimum culture media with adventitious bud formation capacity of 37.5% was though ageing of callus significantly affected the frequency of adventitious bud formation. Finally, rooting experiments were performed to investigate rooting efficiency of adventitious shoots. In the

Optimization of selection conditions and agrobacterium mediated transformation of chickpea (cicer arietinum L. cv. Gökçe) Öz, M. Tufan; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2005) The objective of this study was to optimize an efficient selection system and Agrobacterium mediated transformation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Cotyledonary node explants of Turkish chickpea cultivar Gökçe were used to determine the effects of selective agents, two antibiotics (Kanamycin, Hygromycin) and two herbicides (PPT, Glyphosate) as well as four antibiotics (Augmentin, Carbenicillin, Cefotaxime, Timentin) for eliminating Agrobacterium on multiple shoot and root induction. Selective agents and a...
Investigating the anticarcinogenic role of salix aegyptiaca l. in colorectal carcinoma Enayat, Shabnam; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2009) In this study, extracts from bark, leaves and catkins of Salix aegyptiaca L. were investigated for their antioxidant content by 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) free radical quenching assay, total phenolic and total flavonoid assays. The highest antioxidant activity (19 ug/ml IC50 for inhibition of DPPH radical activity), total phenolic content (212 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of dried extract) and total flavonoid (479 mg catechin equivalents/g of dried extract) was observed in the ethanolic ex...
Biochemical monitoring of toxic and carcinogenic organic pollutants along the İzmir Bay after the great canal project and possible health effects Boyuneğmez, Tuğba; Arınç, Emel; Department of Biochemistry (2004) The induction of hepatic cytochrome P4501A1 and its monooxygenase activity 7-ethoxyresorufin O- deethylase, (EROD) in fish by PAHs, PCBs and dioxins has been suggested as an early warning system أmost sensitive biochemical responseؤ for assessing environmental contamination conditions. In this study, the degree of induction of cytochrome P4501A1 protein as determined immunochemically and CYP1A1 associated EROD activity in fish were utilized as biomarkers of exposure to PAHs, PCBs and related organic polluta...
Preliminary approch for the determination of fish exuded kairomone using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Kepenek, Ayşe Özge; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2005) Chemical communication in aquatic organisms has been topic of a large number of studies focusing interactions between organisms via info chemicals. Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) is commonly observed among zooplankton and consists of a single daily ascent with minimum depth reached between sunset and sunrise and a descent with maximum depth attained during the day. DVM was absent or reduced when predators were absent and well developed in their presence. Species of the Daphnia are one of the well investigate...
Optimisation of agrobacterium mediated gene transfer and micrografting systems in lentil (lens culinaris medik) Kamçı, Hamdi; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2004) In this work Agrobacterium (KYRT1::pTJK136) mediated gene transfer to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) embriyo apex and regeneration through micro-grafting in lentil was studied. In micro-grafting two different types root stock stem height and root stock preparations were optimized. According to the results half stem length was found to be more successful then the full. Also lentil root stock was more successful then the chickpea root stock. The types of root stock preparations studied were designated as Z an...
