Lentil cotyledonary nodes are some of the most regenerative tissues in legumes. Attempts to transform them by vacuum filtration have been Limitedly successful. This report describes a rapid and convenient transient expression protocol based on vacuum infiltration of Agrobacterium cells into lentil cotyledonary nodes. Vacuum-infiltrated tissues had significantly (P < .05) higher transient GUS expression than did noninfiltrated tissues. Under optimal conditions (infiltration at 200 mmHg for 20 min), 95% of the Agrobacterium-infiltrated explants exhibited an average of 16 blue foci. We believe this to be the first report of this technique for transient gene expression in lentil cotyledonary nodes.

Transformation of nicotiana tabacum plants with na+/h+ antiporter (atnhx1) gene isolated from arabidopsis thaliana for evaluation of salt tolerance
Aysin, Ferhunde; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2007)
Large, membrane-bound vacuoles of plant cells are suitable organelles for the compartmentation of ions. These vacuoles contain Na+/H+ antiporters for movement of Na+ within the organelle in exchange for H+. They provide an efficient mechanism to prevent the occurance of detrimental outcomes of Na+ accumulation in the cytosol. Identification of AtNHX1 gene that confers resistance to salinity by expressing a Na+/H+ antiport pump facilitates the understanding of the salt stress tolerance mechanisms of plants. ...
Optimization of an integrated bombardment and agrobacterium infiltration based transformation system for lentil
Çelikkol, Ufuk; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Küsmenoğlu, İsmail; Department of Biotechnology (2002)
In this study, the effect of microwounding by particle bombardment and the coupling of vacuum infiltration to Agrobacteritim-mediated transformation, on the efficiency of transient GUS expression of cotyledonary node tissues were investigated. In each experimental set with any Agrobacterium/pia&mid couple, five different treatments were applied to compare the efficiency of integrated bombardment-infiltration system to reference treatments. Throughout the study also the efficiencies of four strains, LBA4404,...
Investigation of the effect of sodium butyrate on the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in colon cancer cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29
Ülgen, Doğukan Hazar; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2015)
Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that is available in the colon through the commensal microbiota-mediated fermentation of dietary fibers. It is the main source of energy for colonocytes, and is regarded to have tumor suppressive effects, most prominently in colorectal cancer (CRC). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a gene important in the inflammatory response due to its ability to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Overexpression and ov...
Peroxidation of membrane lipids in minimally processed cucumbers packaged under modified atmospheres
Karakaş, Barçın; Yıldız, Fatih; Department of Food Engineering (2002)
Peroxidation of membrane lipids is an inherent feature of ripening and senescence of plant tissues. Increased lipid peroxidation has also been observed in the development of chilling injury in susceptible tissues. In this study, the effect of storage conditions and physical tissue damage on membrane peroxidation of minimally processed cucumber (Cucumis sativus, L.) was investigated. Model modified atmospheres were achieved passively by storage of the minimally processed cucumbers at 4°C and 20°C in hermetic...
Optimization of a regeneration and transformation system for lentil (lens culinaris M., cv. Sultan-I) cotyledonary petioles and epicotyls
Bayraç, Abdullah Tahir; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
In this study, optimization of a transformation and regeneration system via indirect organogenesis in cotyledonary petiole tissue of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) was investigated. Eight different medium types differing in their plant growth regulator compositions were employed to examine the callus induction potency of cotyledonary petiole. Except two, all other tested medium yielded more than 80% callus induction. Nine different medium types were studied to test the potencies of callus structures for sho...
