Wheat, like other cereal species, shows a common recalcitrance and strong genotypic variation in tissue culture and Agrobacteriummediated transformation. A variety of explant sources have been used for obtaining wheat plants from in vitro cultures and Agrobacterium- mediated transformation. These are: isolated microspores (Mejza et al., 1993), mature embryos (Özgen et al., 1998; Delporte et al., 2001), immature embryos (Ozias-Akins and Vasil, 1982; Vasil et al., 1990; Pellegrineschi et al., 2004), and immature inflorescences (Ozias-Akins and Vasil,1982; He and Lazzeri, 2001). Also there are different target tissues for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for wheat. Immature inflorescences have been reported as an alternative source of explant for stable transformation of durum wheat (He and Lazzeri, 1998) and bread wheat (Rasco-Gaunt and Barcelo, 1999). This explant has also shown good expression of T-DNA delivered genes after Agrobacterium co-cultivation (Amoah et al., 2001). Advantages of the immature inflorescence system are that they are easier to isolate and are harvested from much younger plants allowing more efficient use of space in donor-plant growth facilities. The objective of the present study was to investigate the influence of vernalization period of donor plant and callus age on regeneration capacity of calli, number of tillers, number of seeds and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation efficiency produced from immature inflorescence cultures of two winter wheat cultivars.

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 ...
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 ...
SSR markers in the genetic relationship studies of Turkish durum wheat varieties
Akkaya, Mahinur; Dograr, N; Incirli, A; Hakki, EE; Buyukunal, EB; Bilgic, H (2000-06-09)
DNA markers are the essential tools for differentiating genotypic characters of varieties and cultivars. Microsatellite or Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are PCR-based molecular markers. SSRs are the type of markers that can be used most efficiently for DNA fingerprinting due to their reproducible and high level of polymorphic features. The variations in the number of nucleotide repeats, SSR length polymorphism, were detected by separating (alpha P-32)-dATP labeled PCR products obtained with locus spe...
Physiological, biochemical and molecular analysis of wheat cultivars under boron treatments
Kayıhan, Ceyhun; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Eyidoğan, Füsun; Department of Biotechnology (2014)
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 ...
Applications of terahertz spectroscopy in biosystems
Plusquellic, David F.; SİEGRİST, Karen; Heilweil, Edwin J.; Esentürk, Okan (Wiley, 2007-12-03)
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopic investigations of condensed-phase biological samples are reviewed ranging from the simple crystalline forms of amino acids, carbohydrates and polypeptides to the more complex aqueous forms of small proteins, DNA and RNA. Vibrationally resolved studies of crystalline samples have revealed the exquisite sensitivity of THz modes to crystalline order, temperature, conformational form, peptide sequence and local solvate environment and have given unprecedented measures of the bindin...
