A genetic linkage map was constructed for Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A series of optimization experiments were conducted to develop a highly repeatable protocol for Pacific yew. In these experiments, a high MgCl2 concentration (5.5 mM) together with a low primer concentration (0.2 mu m) in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture yielded the best amplification products. PCR amplification products were further improved by treating the template DNAs with RNase. Experiments showed that bovine serum albumine had the same effect as RNase on PCR amplification. The segregating mapping population consisted of 39 haploid megagametophytes from a single mother tree. DNA extracted from a subset of 6 megagametophytes was screened with 345 ten-base oligonucleotide primers of arbitrary sequence. Of the screened primers, 28% revealed at least one polymorphic locus. Eighty-six of these primers revealed at least one polymorphic locus and were used with the entire set of megagametophyte DNAs. One-hundred-two loci were scored and segregated in the expected 1.1 ratio (1.19 locus per primer). Linkage analysis was conducted using MAPMAKER. Forty-one of 102 markers were distributed into 17 linkage groups and covered 305.8 centimorgans. The remaining 61 unlinked markers should be assigned to linkage groups as more markers are added to the map.

Development of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in 150 F-6-inbred durum wheat (Triticum durum) lines derived from Kunduru-1149 x Cham-1 cross
Göçmen, Birşen; Kaya, Zeki (2003-01-01)
Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were developed in a specific durum wheat population (150 lines) derived from Kunduru-1149 x Chain-1 cross. Of 284 RAPD primers screened against parent DNAs, 83 revealed at least one polymorphic locus. The most polymorphic and clear bands producing 13 primers were selected and screened with the DNAs of 150 lines. These 13 primers revealed a total number of 33 segregating loci. The preliminary results of this study could be used as a base for mapping economicall...
Developing an integrated system for semi-automated segmentation of remotely sensed imagery
Kök, Emre Hamit; Türker, Mustafa; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2005)
Classification of the agricultural fields using remote sensing images is one of the most popular methods used for crop mapping. Most recent classification techniques are based on per-field approach that works as assigning a crop label for each field. Commonly, the spatial vector data is used for the boundaries of the fields for applying the classification within them. However, crop variation within the fields is a very common problem. In this case, the existing field boundaries may be insufficient for perfo...
Potential impact of forest management and tree improvement on genetic diversity of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) plantations in Turkey
Icgen, Y; Kaya, Zeki; Cengel, B; Velioglu, E; Ozturk, H; Onde, S (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-15)
Genetic diversity was determined and compared by using 86 random amplified polymorphic DNA loci in 450 families originated from 18 Pinus brutia Ten. (Turkish red pine) seed sources. These seed sources were sampled at three different categories and included six seed stands from six different breeding zones and six seed orchards, and six plantations which were originated from the respective seed stands. Genetic diversity parameters among the plantations, seed orchards and seed stands were compared. There was ...
Application Of Esterase Polymorphism to Specıyf Population Genetic Structure of Engraulis Encrasicolus ( Pisces Engraulidae) in the Black and Azov Seas

Genetic structure of anchovy populations was studied using genetic-biochemical markers. Anchovy samples collected between 1980 and 2006 from different Black Sea regions (off the Bulgarian, Turkish, Ukraine, and Georgian coasts) as well as from the Sea of Azov were analyzed. Three methods of electrophoresis were applied: starch gel electrophoresis, vertical polyacrylamide electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing on thin polyacrylamide ampholine gel plates. On the base of long-term monitoring of allelic freq...
Evaluation of the NDVI in plant community composition mapping: a case study of Tersakan Valley, Amasya County, Turkey
DOĞAN, Hakan Mete; Celep, Ferhat; Karaer, Fergan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
Mapping the composition of plant community types requires reliable spatial data obtained from field surveys and satellite-derived indices. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is the simplest and most frequently used index in plant applications. If relationships between the NDVI and plant cover abundance are determined, this information can be used in the mapping process. In this study, we investigated these possible connections for mapping the plant community composition of Tersakan Valley in ...
