An introductory study was conducted to investigate the pyrethroid resistance of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) strains in Turkey, collected from cotton fields in the Adana and Antalya provinces, through two different synthetic pyrethroid insecticides: lambda-cyhalothrin and esfenvalerate. In addition, the roles of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in this resistance mechanism were analyzed. It was found that whereas resistance ratios for lambda-cyhalothrin (LD50 levels) were 3- and 98-fold increased in the Adana and Antalya strains, respectively, esfenvalerate ratios were 3.3- and 92.3-fold increased in the Adana and Antalya strains, respectively, with respect to the susceptible strain. Furthermore, Adana and Antalya strains showed 2.4- and 2.9-fold higher GST activities than the susceptible strain, respectively. In the Antalya field strain, the minor increase in GST activity compared with the resistance levels implies that GSTs may be not greatly involved in this resistance. It also provides evidence that they could not be the only metabolic mechanism responsible for resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin and esfenvalerate in H. armigera from Turkey.

Molecular detection of Nosema ceranae and N. apis from Turkish honey bees Whitaker, Justin; Szalanski, Allen L.; Kence, Meral (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-03-01) Polymerase chain reaction specific for the rDNA marker for Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis was conducted on 84 Apis mellifera samples collected from 20 provinces in Turkey. N. ceranae was detected from three samples from the provinces of Artvin, Hatay, and Mugla. N. apis was detected in samples from the provinces of Sivas, Izmir, Bitlis and Gaziantep. All of the positive samples were from honey bees belonging to the 'C' lineage of A. mellifera. DNA sequencing analysis of the N. ceranae samples revealed that ...
Genetic and morphometric variation in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) populations of Turkey Kandemir, I; Kence, M; Kence, Aykut (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-05-01) Six enzyme systems were studied to determine the genetic variability in honeybee populations in Turkey. Ten morphometric characters were also measured to determine the extent of morphometric variation. Out of six enzyme systems, four were found to be polymorphic with 16 allozymes. The average heterozygosity was calculated as 0.072 +/- 0.007. Morphometric and electrophoretic variables were equally effective in discriminating honeybee populations. European and Anatolian honeybees were separated on the first a...
Experimental study of solute transport and extraction by a single root in soil Kim, J; Chang, YS; Corapcioglu, MY; Drew, MC (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-02-01) The fate of C-14-2,4,6-trinitrotoluene ([U-C-14]TNT) in soil/plant systems was studied using onion (Allium cepa L.) plants with only a single root. It was found that the single roots grew exponentially and that the rate of water uptake of the onion plants increased exponentially, as well. The concentration of [U-C-14] in the roots at first increased and then appeared to reach a steady state, while the [U-C-14] concentration in the leaves was found to increase linearly with time. The [U-C-14] concentration i...
ANALYSIS OF PLASMIDS MEDIATING ANT (2'') AND AAC(3)-II BASED GENTAMICIN RESISTANCE IN CLINICAL ISOLATES OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAE Kocabıyık, Semra (Elsevier BV, 1989-07-01) The genetics of ANT(2″) and AAC(3)-II mediated gentamicin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria obtained from Hacettepe University Hospital in Turkey, was studied. The plasmid DNA analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis revealed a heterogeneous plasmid population. Conjugal transfer appeared to be an efficient mechanism for the dissemination of resistance to gentamicin/tobramycin/kanamycin/streptomycin/chloramphenicol/cephalothin, which was the common resistance pattern in the population. Plasmids of 46, 60, ...
A new taxon of the genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) from Turkey CELEP, FERHAT; Kahraman, Ahmet; Doğan, Musa (Botanical Garden Meise, 2011-01-01) Background and aims Turkey is one of the major centers of diversity for Salvia, with 97 species of which 54% are endemic. The aims of this study are to give detailed taxonomical, morphological and ecological accounts of S. cadmica and S. smyrnaea.
