An efficient selection system and Agrobacterium mediated transformation for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cotyledonary nodes were investigated. Effect of selective agents and antibiotics on multiple shoot and root induction of cotyledonary nodes and effects of mechanical injury and vacuum infiltration on transformation efficiency were evaluated. Selective agents and antibiotics were applied to explants at different concentrations for one month and numbers of regenerated shoots and roots were recorded. Kanamycin at 100 mg dm(-3), hygromycin at 20 mg dm(-3), phosphinotricin at 3 mg dm(-3) and glyphosate at 5 mg dm(-3) were found to be appropriate to select chickpea transformants. Lowest concentrations of all selective agents (50 mg dm-3 kanamycin, 10 mg dm(-3) hygromycin, 3 mg dm(-3) phosphinotricin, 1 mg dm(-3) glyphosate) totally inhibited rooting of the regenerated shoots. Among the Agrobacterium-eliminating-antibiotics, timentin significantly increased and carbenicillin significantly decreased shoot induction after 4 weeks of culture. On the other hand, cefotaxime at all concentrations significantly decreased root induction. Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, in combination with carbenicillin and cefotaxime displayed effective inhibition of Agrobacterium tumefaciens growth. Furthermore, selection procedure formulated in this study was used in chickpea transformation studies. Histochemical GUS staining was performed 4 and 16 days after transformation to analyze putative transgenics. On the other hand, efforts were exerted on transformation to increase the efficiency. Mechanical injury prior to transformation and vacuum infiltration at 200 mm Hg for 40 min., during bacterial inoculation might be employed to increase the efficiency of chickpea transformation.

Highly efficient and selective olefination of acyl phosphonates with ethyl diazoacetate catalyzed by a cobalt(II) porphyrin complex
Erturk, Erkan; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-04)
The cobalt(II) porphyrin complex (CoTPP) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Wittig type olefination of acyl phosphonates with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) in the presence of triphenylphosphine (Ph(3)P). By using this one pot methodology under mild conditions, densely functionalized vinyl phosphonates were obtained in high yields and high E/Z selectivities in relatively short reaction times. A rather broad substrate spectrum and steric influence on the reaction rate were observed.
Dimethyl ether, diethyl ether & ethylene from alcohols over tungstophosphoric acid based mesoporous catalysts
Ciftci, Aysegul; VARIŞLI, DİLEK; Tokay, Kenan Cem; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur (2012-10-01)
Tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) incorporated silicate structured new mesoporous catalysts were synthesized following one-pot hydrothermal and impregnation procedures. Surface area of TPA@MCM-41, which was prepared by impregnating TPA into MCM-41, was two orders of magnitude higher than the surface area of pure TPA and this catalyst showed very high activity in dehydration reactions of both ethanol and methanol. Ethanol fractional conversion values reaching to 1.0 was obtained at 300 degrees C at a space time o...
Optimization of selection conditions and agrobacterium mediated transformation of chickpea (cicer arietinum L. cv. Gökçe)
Öz, M. Tufan; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
The objective of this study was to optimize an efficient selection system and Agrobacterium mediated transformation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Cotyledonary node explants of Turkish chickpea cultivar Gökçe were used to determine the effects of selective agents, two antibiotics (Kanamycin, Hygromycin) and two herbicides (PPT, Glyphosate) as well as four antibiotics (Augmentin, Carbenicillin, Cefotaxime, Timentin) for eliminating Agrobacterium on multiple shoot and root induction. Selective agents and a...
Optimal conditions for enhanced beta-mannanase production by recombinant Aspergillus sojae
Ozturk, Bengu; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Ogel, Zumrut Begum (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01)
Optimization of the growth conditions for maximum P-mannanase production in shake flasks by using recombinant Aspergillus sojae ATCC11906 (AsT1) was carried out by Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. The highest beta-mannanase activity on the fourth day of cultivation at 30 degrees C was obtained as 363 U/ml in the optimized medium consisting of 7% sugar beet molasses, 0.43% NH(4)NO(3), 0.1% K(2)HPO(4) and 0.05% MgSO(4) (by weight per volume) at 207 rpm. On the sixth day of cultivation under...
EXACTLY SOLVABLE EFFECTIVE MASS D-DIMENSIONAL SCHRODINGER EQUATION FOR PSEUDOHARMONIC AND MODIFIED KRATZER PROBLEMS
IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2009-03-01)
The point canonical transformation (PCT) approach is used to solve the Schrodinger equation for an arbitrary dimension D with a power-law position-dependent effective mass (PDEM) distribution function for the pseudoharmonic and modified Kratzer (Mie-type) diatomic molecular potentials. In mapping the transformed exactly solvable D-dimensional (D >= 2) Schrodinger equation with constant mass into the effective mass equation by using a proper transformation, the exact bound state solutions including the energ...
