Cloning of trees using somatic embryogenesis could have a major impact on tree breeding and commercial plantation forestry. To initiate somatic embryogenesis in Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold. subspecies pallasiana), one-year old cones containing immature seeds were collected from eight trees located in METU campus, Ankara. Embryogenic tissues were derived from immature zygotic embryos excised from the seeds. The zygotic embryos at the time of collection were at the precotyledonary stage of development. For this study, Douglas-fir cotyledon revised medium (DCR) supplemented with 13.6M 2,4-D, 2.2M BAP, 0.5 g/L casein hydrolysate, 0.25 g/L L-glutamine and 3% sucrose was used. The media was solidified with 0.2% gelrite. Embryogenic tissue initiation was calculated for each genotype and collection date. Overall initiation frequencies were recorded as 0.92% for 2004 and 1.96% for 2005. Highest initiation frequency was calculated for 5-July 2005 sampling time (4.06). ANOVA revealed significant differences between trees and collection date for initiation frequencies. Also, ECL (Established cell lines) recorded after five subcultures. Overall, 0.38% and 0.62% of the initial explants were converted into ECLs for 2004 and 2005 respectively.

Development of in vitro micropropagation techniques for saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Yıldırım, Evrim; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2007) In vitro micropropagation of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) by using direct and indirect organogenesis was the aim of this study. Also, the effect of plant growth regulators on growth parameters, such as corm production, sprouting time and germination ratio were investigated in ex vitro conditions. For in vitro regeneration of saffron, the effects of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) were tested initially. It was observed that 0,25 mg/L 2,4-D and 1 mg/L BAP combination was su...
Differential expression of cold resistant related genes in populus nigra l. clones Zeybek, Evrim; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2014) Poplar has been adopted as a model perennial woody species for forest tree genetics to understand molecular processes of growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. In this study, seasonal changes in antioxidant enzymes activities including glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and catalase (CAT) were examined in black poplar (Populus nigra L.) clones. It was found that GR, APX and DHAR activities increased with low air temperatures in win...
Soil and water analysis techniques for agricultural production Maral, Nuh; Gökmen, Gülser İnci; Department of Chemistry (2010) In Turkey, usage of increasing amounts of fertilizers and pesticides by some unconscious farmers cause soil pollution and soil infertility for the crop production. Usage of water in excessive amounts and/or in poor quality for irrigation creates problems during the plant production. So in this study, soil and water samples were analyzed by using simple and reliable techniques for the soil and water quality in laboratories of METU and Soil Fertilizer and Water Resources Central Research Institute Laboratory ...
Inheritance of wood specific gravity and its genetic correlation with growth traits in young pinus brutia progenies Yıldırım, Kubilay; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biotechnology (2008) In long term, to discover the genes responsible for wood production, genetic control of wood specific gravity (WSG) in Pinus brutia Ten. (Turkish red pine) open pollinated Ceyhan progeny trial, which was established with the seeds collected from 168 clones originated from six clonal Turkish red pine seed orchards was studied. Wood samples were taken by destructive sampling during the rouging of this trial at the age of seven. Specifically; (1) to examine the magnitude of family differences and its component...
An appraisal of biodiversity monitoring in Turkey within the framework of essential biodiversity variables Demirbaş Çağlayan , Semiha; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Zeydanlı, Uğur Siyami; Department of Earth System Science (2020-9) The survival of species, habitats, ecosystems and thus the welfare of humankind are increasingly under threat due to adverse effects of land use change, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Monitoring biodiversity, understanding environmental responses and analyzing trends enable us to develop urgent actions for combatting biodiversity decline, and to improve policies to cope with these global challenges. Biodiversity observation has a long history. However the dispersed s...
