The objective of this study was to optimize tissue culture and regeneration parameters of immature inflorescence culture of Triticum aestivum cv. Bezostaja- 01 and Triticum durum cv. Kızıltan-91. The effects of callus age and vernalisation time of explants on regeneration success were evaluated. For determination of optimum vernalisation time of immature inflorescence, plants subjected to 4°C for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks, respectively. Tillers containing immature inflorescences were collected at the same time. Percentage of inflorescence formed tillers over total explants were reached the highest value, 79 %, at 4 weeks cold treated Kızıltan cultivar and, 73 %, at 5 weeks cold treated Bezostaja cultivar. Isolated immature inflorescences were put onto 2mg /L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and picloram containing callus induction medium for Kızıltan and Bezostaja cultures, respectively. Callus induction rate were found to be 100 % for Kızıltan and Bezostaja. These explants were taken to regeneration after 6, 9, 12 and 15 weeks of dark incubation period. The regeneration capacities of calli were determined as shooting percentage and data were collected after 4, 8, 12, and 15 week regeneration period. The highest shooting percentage of 69 %, were obtained from 6 weeks old calli produced from 4 weeks vernalised explants in Kızıltan cultures at the end of 15 weeks regeneration period. However, shooting percentage was 57.2 % for 9 weeks old calli while it decreases to 37.6 % in 12 weeks old calli and 44.2 % in 15 weeks old calli at the end of 15 weeks regeneration period. This showed that prolonged dark incubation period decreased regeneration capacity of the callus. However, there was no significant difference in regeneration capacities of calli produced from Bezostaja immature inflorescence and the highest shooting percentage was obtained from 9 weeks old calli produced

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...
In vitro induction of growth and development of common juniper(Juniperus communis L.) from shoot and bud explants
Koçer, Zeynep Ahsen; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
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...
Examination of the Self-Regulated Learning Processes for Low and High Achievers in Biology
Sungur, Semra (2011-01-01)
This study aimed at comparing high and low achievers with respect to various self-regulated learning processes. For the specified purpose, 252 Turkish high school students were administered the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. Results indicated that there were significant mean differences between high and low achievers with respect to various motivational (i.e., intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, self-efficacy, test anxiety) and cognitive-behavioral (i.e., meta-cognitive...
Optimization of mature embryo based regeneration and genetic transformation of Turkish wheat cultivars
Battal, Abdülhamit; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2010)
The objective of this study was to optimize tissue culture, transformation and regeneration parameters of mature embryo based culture of Triticum durum cv. Mirzabey 2000 and Triticum aestivum cv. Yüreğir 89. The effects of auxin type of hormone at different concentrations and dark incubation periods on regeneration capacity were evaluated. Two different hormone types 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and picloram were used at three different concentrations 2, 4 and 8 mg/l. Mature embryo derived calli were inc...
The effect of gender and reasoning ability on the students’ understanding of ecological concepts and attitude towards science
Soylu, Hacer; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gender and reasoning ability on the 8th grade students’ understanding of ecological concepts and attitude toward science. All 8th grade students from public elementary school in Tosya participated in the study. Students’ understanding, attitude toward science and reasoning ability were also measured by means of the Test of Ecology Concept (TEC), the Attitude Scale toward Science (ASTS) and the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT) respectively. In order t...
