Many studies have described the physiological, biochemical and molecular responses to boron (B) toxicity and deficiency individually in plants. However, overall pattern of gene expression changes and their physiological and biochemical signiﬁcances after high B, low B and supplementing artificial B-enriched fertilizer (Tarımbor) application have not been proposed up till now. In the present study, we assessed global changes in gene expression of two wheat cultivars Bolal-2973 and Atay-85 differing in their B responses by using Affymetrix wheat GeneChip under B-toxicity, deficiency and Tarımbor applications. Another objective of this study was to clarify physiological and biochemical changes that are mainly related to growth, photosynthesis, antioxidants, antioxidant enzymes, water status and oxidative damage under same conditions. The visual symptoms of B-toxicity, regarding chlorosis and necrosis, were only seen in leaf tips of Atay. Coordinately, B accumulates higher in Atay leaves than Bolal at the end of the B-toxicity. However, all B conditions did not cause a cessation of vegetative growth in leaf and root of both wheat cultivars. Genes for oxidative stress and detoxiﬁcation of ROS were not significantly regulated after all B conditions. This result was in accordance with the measurements of antioxidant enzyme activities. Genes related protein degradation were induced more under all B conditions in Atay than Bolal. These results considering programmed cell death in senescing leaves were confirmed by the visual phenotype of the plants. Our findings may introduce new targets for breeding researches aimed at improving B tolerance of crop plants.

Physiological, Biochemical, and Transcriptomic Responses to Boron Toxicity in Leaf and Root Tissues of Contrasting Wheat Cultivars Kayihan, Ceyhun; Oz, Mehmet Tufan; EYİDOĞAN, FÜSUN; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2017-02-01) In this study, we examined physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic responses to toxic boron (B) treatment in leaves and roots of two wheat cultivars in order to gain better insight into B response or tolerance mechanisms. Delayed development and reduced vigor caused by high B were not observed in leaves and roots of both cultivars. Length, wet weight, and dry weight were not markedly changed under B toxicity. In leaves, when compared to control, 995 and 892 genes were significantly expressed at least...
Investigation of neutron sensitivity of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 for thermoluminescence applications Iflazoglu, Sera; Yılmaz, Ayşen; KAFADAR, VURAL EMİR; YAZICI, AHMET NECMEDDİN (2018-09-01) In this study, thermoluminescence characteristics of un-doped and Dy-doped calcium tetraborate (CaB4O7) compounds are reported. The polycrystalline powder samples of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 were prepared by a solid-state reaction at high-temperature method. The identification and characteristics of the obtained compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared analysis, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The glow curves ...
Bioactive thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives Rouf, Abdul; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2015-06-05) The heterocycles are the versatile compounds existing in almost all natural products and synthetic organic compounds, usually associated with one or the other biological activity. Among the heterocycles the thiazoles and benzothiazoles occupy a prominent position. They possess a broad range of biological activities and are found in many potent biologically active molecules and drugs such as vitamin thiamine, sulfathiazol (antimicrobial drug), ritonavir (antiretroviral drug), abafungin (antifungal drug) and ...
Biological effects of tolerable level chronic boron intake on transcription factors BOYACIOĞLU, SEDA ÖRENAY; KORKMAZ, MEHMET; Kahraman, Erkan; Yildirim, Hatice; Bora, Selin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2017-01-01) The mechanism of boron effect on human transcription and translation has not been fully understood. In the current study it was aimed to reveal the role of boron on the expression of certain transcription factors that play key roles in many cellular pathways on human subjects chronically exposed to low amounts of boron. The boron concentrations in drinking water samples were 1.57 +/- 0.06 mg/l for boron group while the corresponding value for the control group was 0.016 +/- 0.002 mg/l. RNA isolation was per...
Trehalose metabolism in wheat and identification of trehalose metabolizing enzymes under abiotic stress conditions El-Bashiti, Tarek; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Biotechnology (2003) Trehalose (a-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-a-D-glucopyranoside) is a non reducing disaccharide of glucose that occurs in a large variety of organisms, ranging from bacteria to invertebrate animals, where it serves as an energy source or stress protectant. Until recently, only few plant species, mainly desiccation tolerant ءresurrection̕ plants, were considered to synthesize trehalose. Although most plant species do not appear to accumulate easily detectable amounts of trehalose, the discovery of genes for trehalose ...
