Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei is an obligate biotrophic parasite causing powdery mildew disease in several cereals, including barley. Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a widely used powerful tool in plant functional-genomic studies to determine the functions of genes in disease resistance. In this thesis study, the function of RAD23 gene in barley in plant resistance was investigated. The RAD23 is a ubiquitin (Ub) binding protein involved in programmed protein degradation by transferring of ubiquitylated substrates to the proteasome. It was identified as an induced protein responding to compatible powdery mildew-barley interaction in a previous proteomics study performed in our laboratory. Pallas-01 and Pallas-03 barley line seedlings were inoculated with Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei race (Bgh103). Curiously, RAD23 was v observed in compatible interaction (Pallas-03/Bgh103) with 4 fold induction at 12 dpi, while in incompatible interaction RAD23 was absent. Thus, it is thought that RAD23 may play a role in disease resistance as a negative regulator. In order to confirm this hypothesis, BSMV mediated virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) was performed. To determine the effects of the silencing of HvRAD23 gene in disease resistance mechanism, BSMV:HvRAD23 treated (silenced group) and BSMV:00 treated (control group) Pallas-03 seedlings were inoculated with a virulent (Bgh103) and avirulent (Bgh95) pathogen races. The pathogen growth levels at 3 and 5-days post inoculation were analyzed under light microscope and then, hyphae lengths were measured to detect the difference in pathogen development between silenced and control groups. As a result, 21 % difference in primary hyphae lengths, 22 % difference in secondary hyphae lengths and 16 % difference in the longest hyphae lengths between two groups were observed. Then, quantitative real time PCR was performed to determine the HvRAD23 gene silencing level. The HvRAD23 silencing was only seen in 3 of the 6 samples. The average silencing of the samples is 17 %. Despite of low silencing level, microscopic analyses indicated significant difference in pathogen growth between silenced and control groups. Therefore, the results of the initial studies support that the RAD23 is a negative regulator of plant disease resistance.

Rediscovery of Scorzonera amasiana Hausskn. and Bornm. - A threatened endemic species in turkey
Karaer, Fergan; Celep, Ferhat (2007-12-01)
Scorzonera amasiana Hausskn. and Bornm. was described from type specimens collected by J.F.N. Bornmueller in 1889 but it was not collected again until 1993, when it was found near Amasya, Turkey. Populations of S. amasiana were quite small at that limited locations and were vulnerable to human impacts. Therefore, suitable conservation strategies should be developed immediately in order to protect the species from probable extinction. Here, an additional three small populations are reported. Brief history, m...
Proteome analysis of blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei inoculated barley
Özgazi, Neşe; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei is a biotroph pathogen that causes powdery mildew disease in barley. In this study, Pallas01 and Pallas03 barley lines having Mla1, Ml (Al2) and Mla6, Mla14 R-genes were inoculated with Bgh103(64/01) race of the Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei having avirulence and virulence to Pallas01 and Pallas03, respectively. The proteins were isolated from the three biological replicates of 12, 24, and 48 hpi samples following the method in Rampitsch et al., 2006. These there biological...
Synthesis and characterization of fluorine-substituted polyanilines
Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2001-09-01)
Poly(2-fluoroaniline), P2FAN, poly(3-fluoroaniline). P3FAN. and poly(4-fluoroaniline), P4FAN, have been synthesized from fluorine substituted aniline monomers in aqueous acidic medium using potassium dichromate as oxidizing agent. Characterization of polymer products has been carried out using FTIR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Thermal analysis of polyfluoroaniline powders was also investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. To compare the structural properties ...

In situ monitoring of vancomycin resistance genes in surface waters by oligonucleotide probes
Nakipoğlu, Mustafa; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2015-09-13)
Vancomycin and teicoplanin resistance is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. It is caused by various van genes located on either chromosome or transposons such as Tn1549 and its homologues. They encode proteins responsible of the moiety change on terminal pentapeptide bridge in peptidoglycan layer that eventually hinders the effectiveness of vancomycin up-to 1000 times. Although van genes are mostly found on enterococci, their homologues with high sim...
