Common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) is a valuable tree species in forestry and source of many natural products. However, natural regeneration of common juniper is difficult. To develop micropropagation procedures for this species callus induction and organogenesis experiments were carried out. It was found that genotype, gender, sampling time and different growth regulator-combinations had significant effects on callus induction in common juniper. Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with Benzylaminopurine 0.1 mg l(-1) and indole-3-butyric acid at concentrations ranging between 0.5-4.0 mg l(-1) were the best among the treatments to induce callus formation when spring buds were used as explant sources. In organogenesis experiments, the combination of 2 mg l(-1) Benzylaminopurine and 1 mg l(-1) 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was found to be essential to bring about adventitious bud and shoot development from calli. Genotype, gender and sampling times had significant effects on promoting adventitious bud and shoot development. Although several experimental trials with 0.005, 0.03 and 0.05 mg l(-1) indole-3-butyric acid and varying media compositions produced adventitious root like structures, none of these structures further developed into a true root system. However, the results of this pioneering study provide a foundation for further experiments concerning the in vitro regeneration of common juniper.

DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION OF PNCES A4 IN POPULUS NIGRA Akkad, Raitha; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-5-27) Populus nigra L. owes to be the most critical pioneer tree species in riparian ecosystems and is considered an ecologically and economically-wise imperative fast-growing species. Moreover, it is a great tree species for biomass and bioenergy utilization and cellulose content manipulation. The limited energy resources from fossil fuels demand an alternative efficient biomass crop, where Populus nigra shows to be a great candidate. In this study, the CesA (cellulose synthase) secondary cell wall-related CesA4...
Genetic differentiation between clone collections and natural populations of European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) in turkey Çiftçi, Asiye; Kucukosmanoglu, Filiz; Karahan, Alptekin; Kaya, Zeki (2017-06-01) The European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is an ecologically and economically important tree species for Turkey. The important and major genetic resources of species for future breeding and ex situ conservation purposes have been archived in a clone bank in Ankara by selecting clones from natural populations and old plantations throughout Turkey. There is no study to date assessing genetic composition these materials. Two-hundred-thirty-three P. nigra clones from six geographic region of Turkey (clone co...
DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS OF HABITAT FRAGMENTATION ON GENETIC STRUCTURE OF TWO IMPORTANT RIPARIAN SPECIES (SALIX ALBA & POPULUS NIGRA) Durgut, Bilge; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-2-23) Salix alba and Populus nigra are two important tree species of riparian ecosystems. With a great ecologic and economic significance, they are naturally distributed in almost all river basins of Turkey. The genetic structures of these species in two river basins in Turkey were studied using eight common microsatellite markers to both species to reveal the impacts of habitat fragmentation. Therefore, the studied rivers were selected to represent a highly fragmented river, and a protected river from habitat fr...
In Vivo effect of Epilobium Hirsutum L. and Viscum Album L. on protein and mRNA expressions of rat liver vitamin D₃ metabolizing CYP24A1 and CYP27B1 enzymes Sever, Melike; Adalı, Orhan; Şen, Alaattin; Department of Biochemistry (2012) Epilobium hirsutum L. (Onagraceae) is a flowering, tall and perennial plant and native to Eurasia. It shows analgesic, anti-microbial and anti-proliferative activity, and it is used in our country as an alternative medicine. The pharmacological effect of Epilobium hirsutum L. could be explained by the presence of polyphenolics including steroids, tannins and flavonoids in the aerial parts. Viscum album L. (Loranthaceae) is a shrub that grows as an epiphyte on the branches of deciduous trees. It involves in ...
Genetic diversity of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.: Hymenoptera: Apidae) populations in Turkey revealed by RAPD markers TUNCA, RAHŞAN İVGİN; Kence, Meral (2011-12-05) The honeybee, Apis mellifera L. is an ecologically and economically important insect species. Recent honey bee losses causing decline of bee diversity is found alarming for the pollination of both wild plant biodiversity and crop production. Therefore, determination of genetic diversity of honey bee populations is essential and will provide a valuable resource for conservation purposes. Twenty Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers were used to assess the genetic diversity in 720 worker bees collec...
