Stem rust and Yellow rust diseases are the two major wheat fungal diseases causing considerable yield losses in Turkey and all around the world. There are studies which are carried out to identify and utilize resistance sources in order to obtain resistant lines of wheat. However, virulent pathotypes are continuously being important threats to wheat production and yield. For that reason, new approaches for rapid identification are needed. The aim of this study was to investigate and to understand the structural and functional differences between the resistant and sensitive durum wheat cultivars to the plant fungal diseases of stem and yellow (stripe) rusts. To aim this, forty durum wheat recombinant inbred lines (RILs), which were previously determined to be resistant or sensitive to stem and yellow rust diseases, were investigated by the noninvasive Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy. Also, classification of the resistant and sensitive lines depending on the structural and functional differences has been attempted. The FTIR spectra for stem rust disease showed that, resistant durum wheat lines had a significant increase in the population of unsaturation in acyl chains of lipid molecules, an increase in lipid and in total protein content and also an increase in carboxylic acids and alcohols. For yellow rust disease, resistant lines had a significant increase in hydrogen bonding and they had also a more ordered membrane structure. In Principal Component Analysis for stem rust disease, according to 3700-650 cm-1 region, amide III band (1213-1273 cm-1 region) and C-H stretching region (3020- 2800 cm-1), the resistant and sensitive groups were separated successfully. For yellow rust disease, according to 3700-650 cm-1 region, Amide A and Amide III bands, the resistant and sensitive lines were grouped distinctly. FTIR spectroscopy provides a useful approach to determine the differences in molecular structure of durum wheat RILs regarding resistance of lines to fungal diseases. However, further research is still needed to ensure if the structural and functional differences in biomolecules of the samples could be used as molecular markers for discrimination of rust resistant materials from rust sensitive ones.

Transfer of stripe rust resistance gene Yr26 to Turkish wheats using microsatellite markers
Yildirim, A; Karadag, Y; Sakin, MA; Gokmen, S; Kandemir, N; Akkaya, Mahinur; Yildirim, F (2004-01-01)
Stripe rust (yellow rust) is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat worldwide. The most effective control method of stripe rust is the use of resistance genes. A very effective stripe rust resistance gene, Yr26, originating from Triticum turgidum L., was transferred into two common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars of Turkey through backcrossing using closely linked microsatellite markers. A 6VS/6AL translocation line (92R149) was used as the source of Yr26 because this gene was originally thoug...
Detection of differentially expressed genes upon compatible and incompatible inoculation of wheat with yellow rust using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)
Çelik, İlay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2007)
Yellow rust disease is one of the most important problems in wheat production. It causes substantial yield losses throughout the world. There are resistant and susceptible wheat varieties to various yellow rust pathotypes. In this thesis genes that are induced in wheat, in virulence and avirulence conditions upon yellow rust inoculations were investigated. Consequently, it was aimed to identify genes that may be playing critical roles in the disease resistance mechanism. The strategy was to construct subtra...
Identification of the genes involved in phytosiderophore" synthesis and metal ion uptake in wheat using RT-PCR
Aktaş, Yasemin; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biotechnology (2003)
Soils in many agricultural areas have high pH, resulting in low availability of zinc and iron. Plants grown on such soils suffer from either Zn or Fe deficiency or both. The efficient plant genotypes grown normally in calcerous soils were found to evolve some strategies to acquire the iron which is in insoluble form. Iron efficient graminaceous monocots release iron chelating substances, mugineic acid family phytosiderophores (MAs), in response to iron deficiency stress. Several researchers have suggested t...
In Turkish wheat cultivars the resistance allele of LR34 is ineffective against leaf rust
Yildirim, Kubilay; Boylu, Baris; Atici, Elif; Kahraman, Turhan; Akkaya, Mahinur (2012-10-01)
Rust and powdery mildew diseases of wheat are among the oldest and most harmful diseases confining the yield of wheat worldwide. Development of resistant wheat cultivars with durable or race-nonspecific resistance genes is the main objective for many breeding programs. One of these genes, Lr34/Yr18/Pm38, was found to confer partial and durable resistance against rust pathogens as well as powdery mildew. This multiple disease resistant locus was recently found to comprise a single gene, which encodes an aden...
Identification and expression profiling of toxic boron-responsive microRNAs and their targets in sensitive and tolerant wheat cultivars
Kayihan, Doga Selin; Aksoy, Emre; Kayihan, Ceyhun (2021-01-01)
Post transcriptional gene regulation in wheat cultivars caused by boron (B) toxicity has not been reported to date. In this study, two wheat cultivars Bolal-2973 (B-tolerant) and Atay-85 (B-sensitive) were compared with regard to the transcriptional regulation of miR319, miR172 and miR398 and their plausible target genes in order to address differences in their performances under high B levels. The expression levels of Cu/ZnSOD gene were found to be greater in Atay exposed to toxic B compared to Bolal, as v...
