Nematodes are the principal animal parasites of plants, causing annual crop losses of more than US$100 billion worldwide. Conventional control measures against nematode infection include toxic nematicide application to soil, crop rotation practices, and classical breeding approaches. However, due to the limitations of each technique, biotechnology presents itself as an effective alternative in nematode control. To date, several resistance genes against nematodes have been cloned. One such gene, Hs1(pro1), cloned from wild sugar beet, Beta procumbens, shows resistance to the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii. Recent studies showed that Hs1(pro1) has a broad target pathogen range. In this study, we transformed Nicotiana tabacum cultivar Samsun plants with the Hs1(pro1) gene and assayed transgenic plants for nematode resistance. Our analysis suggests that compared to wild-type plants, Hs1(pro1)-carrying transgenic plants are more resistant to 2 different root-knot nematode species, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica. The results in this study support previous findings of the broad host range of Hs1(pro1) and are promising in terms of the genetic engineering of economically important susceptible crop plants such as potato and tomato against nematode and secondary damage from other soil-pathogen damage.

Transgenic potato lines expressing hairpin RNAi construct of molting-associated EcR gene exhibit enhanced resistance against Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Say) Hussain, Tahira; Aksoy, Emre; Çalışkan, Mehmet Emin; Bakhsh, Allah (2019-02-01) © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Most of the commercialized insect resistant transgenic crops express cry gene(s) isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis; however, intensive cultivation of Bt crops over almost two decades has been questioned regarding its sustainability and durability in pest management. The present study focused on silencing of highly specific molting-associated Ecdysone receptor (EcR) gene of Colorado potato beetle (CPB) using RNA interference (RNAi) approach. The partial cDNA of EcR g...
Biosecurity of agricultural product through speciation of pesticides: Ayaş tomato Sifatullah, KM; Tuncel, Semra; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Earth System Science (2014) Speciation of chlorinated pesticides in soil-water-tomato plant is researched in connection with food security. For this purpose 16 soil, 16 tomato and 4 irrigation water samples were collected from selected two fields in Ayaş, Ankara, Turkey and analyzed with GC-MS system. Soil and tomato samples were extracted by using ultrasonic bath. On the other hand, water samples were extracted by using solid phase extraction. The extraction recoveries were determined as %64.88, %42.03, and %53.36 for tomato, water, ...
Molecular adaptations of Helicoverpa armigera midgut tissue under pyrethroid insecticide stress characterized by differential proteome analysis and enzyme activity assays Konus, Metin; Koy, Cornelia; Mikkat, Stefan; Kreutzer, Michael; Zimmermann, Ralf; İşcan, Mesude; Glocker, Michael O. (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Helicoverpa armigera is an insect that causes important economic losses in crops. To reduce this loss, pyrethroids have been commonly used against H. armigera in farming areas. However, excess and continuous usage of pyrethroids cause resistance in H. armigera. Therefore, expressions of midgut proteins of two H. armigera field populations were compared to those of a susceptible strain by 2-D PAGE and MALDI-ToF-MS. Our results indicate that H. armigera reacts to pyrethroid-induced stress mainly by increasing...
The Prevalence of Multidrug Resistance Is Higher among Bovine than Human Salmonella enterica Serotype Newport, Typhimurium, and 4,5,12:i:- Isolates in the United States but Differs by Serotype and Geographic Region Hoelzer, K.; Soyer, Yeşim; Rodriguez-Rivera, L. D.; Cummings, K. J.; McDonough, P. L.; Schoonmaker-Bopp, D. J.; Root, T. P.; Dumas, N. B.; Warnick, L. D.; Groehn, Y. T.; Wiedmann, M.; Baker, K. N. K.; Besser, T. E.; Hancock, D. D.; Davis, M. A. (American Society for Microbiology, 2010-09-01) Salmonella represents an important zoonotic pathogen worldwide, but the transmission dynamics between humans and animals as well as within animal populations are incompletely understood. We characterized Salmonella isolates from cattle and humans in two geographic regions of the United States, the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast, using three common subtyping methods (pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PFGE], multilocus variable number of tandem repeat analysis [MLVA], and multilocus sequence typing [MLST...
Genetic screening of Turkish wheat varieties for the durable resistance gene, Lr34 Boylu, Barış; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Hakkı, Erdoğan Eşref; Department of Biotechnology (2011) Wheat diseases such as rusts and powdery mildews are among the most important and ancient diseases that affect wheat cultivation worldwide. The pathogen race specific resistance genes cannot maintain long lasting resistance. On the other hand, the presence of genes confers the non-race specific resistance last much longer. The durable resistance phenotypes in wheat against various rust and powdery mildew diseases were reported as Lr34, Yr18, and Pm38 separately; nevertheless, they were known to locate very ...
