Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for annual height- and diameter-increment growth were estimated in each of two three-generation loblolly pine pedigrees. Annual height-increment was measured in three consecutive years in the BASE pedigree and in four consecutive years in the QTL pedigree. Annual diameter-increment was measured only in the QTL pedigree for two consecutive years. An interval mapping-approach was used to estimate the number of QTLs, the magnitude of QTL effects, and their position on genetic linkage maps. Thirteen different height-increment and eight different diameter-increment QTLs were detected. suggesting that the these traits are, at least in part, controlled by a few genes of large effect. Little evidence was found for the expression of individual QTLs in multiple years or in multiple genetic backgrounds. These results were discussed in terms of the power of the experiment and their consequences for marker-assisted breeding.

Genetic and physiology of cold and drought resistance in Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia, Ten.) populations from southern Turkey Kandemir, Gaye Eren; Kaya, Zeki; Önde, Sertaç; Department of Biology (2002) The purpose of the study was to determine the pattern of genetic variation in morphological and physiological traits associated with cold and drought stress using seedling from over-exploited and natural populations of Pinus brutia Ten. (Turkish red pine) from southern Turkey. To determine the pattern of genetic variation existing in over-exploited and natural populations, seedlings from 6 populations each with 40 families were raised in Ankara forest nursery from 1998-2000. Three of the populations (Yaylaa...
Determination of esterase enzyme polymorphism in house fly (Musca domestica L.) populations in Turkey TAŞKIN, VATAN; Taskin, Belgin Gocmen; KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ, KÖKSAL; Kence, Meral (2011-01-01) The objective of this study was to determine esterase enzyme polymorphism in 16 natural Musca domestica L. populations from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey by using the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique. The high level of genetic variation among populations and species make esterase enzymes an important tool for analyzing genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships in insects. In the present study, 22 a-esterase bands were detected by using a-naphthylacetat...
Characterization of bacteriocins from two Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis isolates Akcelik, O; Tukel, C; Özcengiz, Gülay; Akcelik, M (Wiley, 2006-03-01) In this study, bacteriocins from two Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis isolates from raw milk samples in Turkey designated OC1 and OC2, respectively, were characterized and identified. The activity spectra of the bacteriocins were determined by using different indicator bacteria including Listeria, Bacillus and Staphylococcus spp. Bacteriocins were tested for their sensitivity to different enzymes, heat treatments and pH values. Loss of bacteriocin activities after alpha-amylase treatment suggested that they...
Identification and Characterization of 33 Bacillus cereus sensu lato Isolates from Agricultural Fields from Eleven Widely Distributed Countries by Whole Genome Sequencing Zervas, Athanasios; Aggerbeck, Marie Ronne; Allaga, Henrietta; GÜZEL, MUSTAFA; Hendriks, Marc; Jonuskiene, IIona; Kedves, Orsolya; Kupeli, Ayse; Lamovsek, Janja; Muelner, Pascal; Munday, Denise; Namlı, Şahin; Samut, Hilal; Tomicic, Ruzica; Tomicic, Zorica; Yeni, Filiz; Zghal, Raida Zribi; Zhao, Xingchen; Sanchis-Borja, Vincent; Hendriksen, Niels Bohse (2020-12-01) The phylogeny, identification, and characterization of 33 B. cereus sensu lato isolates originating from 17 agricultural soils from 11 countries were analyzed on the basis of whole genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analyses revealed all isolates are divided into six groups, which follows the generally accepted phylogenetic division of B. cereus sensu lato isolates. Four different identification methods resulted in a variation in the identity of the isolates, as none of the isolates were identified as the same...
COMPARISON OF FIELD GROWTH AMONG LOBLOLLY-PINE SEEDLINGS AND 3 PLANT TYPES PRODUCED INVITRO FRAMPTON, LJ; ISIK, K (1987-07-01) To study differences in field performance between tissue culture plantlets and seedlings of loblolly pine, two field plantings containing four plant types (seedlings, excised embryos, rooted hypocotyls, and tissue culture plantlets) were established. After 3.5 growing seasons, the plantlets were 80% the height of the seedlings and appeared more mature than seedlings for other characteristics. Despite their smaller initial planting size, by 1.5 years, the two additional plant types performed as well as the s...
