P>The initial stages of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (the causal agent of yellow rust in wheat) infection triggered a hypersensitive cell death (HCD) response in both compatible and Yr1-mediated incompatible interactions, although the response was earlier and more extensive in the incompatible interaction. Later stages of fungal development were only associated with an HCD response in the incompatible interaction, the HCD response being effectively suppressed in the compatible interaction. Cell autofluorescence was seen in mesophyll cells in direct contact with fungal infection hyphae (primary HCD) and in adjacent mesophyll cells (secondary HCD), indicating the activation of cell-to-cell signalling. Microarray analysis identified a number of defence-related transcripts implicated in Yr1-mediated resistance, including classical pathogenesis-related (PR) transcripts and genes involved in plant cell defence responses, such as the oxidative burst and cell wall fortification. A quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction time course analysis identified a number of defence-related genes, including PR2, PR4, PR9, PR10 and WIR1 transcripts, associated with the latter stages of Yr1-mediated resistance. A meta-analysis comparison of the Yr1-regulated transcriptome with the resistance transcriptomes of the race-specific resistance gene Yr5 and the race-nonspecific adult plant resistance gene Yr39 indicated limited transcript commonality. Common transcripts were largely confined to classic PR and defence-related genes.

STATISTICAL PARAMETERS CHARACTERIZING THE SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF SELECTED SOIL HYDRAULIC-PROPERTIES
Ünlü, Kahraman; BIGGAR, JW; MORKOC, F (Wiley, 1990-11-01)
The knowledge of the statistical parameters of the variance, sigma-2, and the correlation scale, lambda, characterizing the spatial structures of the log of the saturated hydraulic conductivity, lnK(s), pore size distribution parameter alpha, and the specific water capacity, C, is required in stochastic modeling in order to understand the overall response of large-scale heterogenous unsaturated flow systems. These parameters are estimated assuming second-order stationarity and an exponential semivariogram ...
Synthesis and structure elucidation of bromination products from dibromohomobenzonorbornadienes: high temperature bromination - Part 17
Kazaz, C; Dastan, A; Balcı, Metin (Wiley, 2005-01-01)
The electrophilic addition of bromine to dibromohomobenzonorbornadiene derivatives at -45 +/- 5degreesC led to the formation of the rearranged and non-rearranged tetrabromides in a ratio of 6:4. However, high-temperature bromination of the same system in CCl4 at 77degreesC produced only non-rearranged products. The formation mechanism of the isomers and the role of the substituent on the rearrangement is discussed. The structure elucidation of the isomeric tetrabromides was achieved from NMR spectral data. ...
Structural and thermochemical properties, and energetics of C-8(NO2)(8) and C-20(NO2)(4n) (n=0-4)
Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)
Density-functional-theory calculations, at the B3LYP level with the 6-31 G basis set, have been performed to investigate the structural and electronic properties of octanitrocubane, C-8(NO2)(8), and polynitrofullerenes of type C-20(NO2)(4n) with n = 0-4, in their ground states. Having determined their energetically optimized geometric structures, energetics, and vibrational frequencies, we have calculated the enthalpies of combustion and decomposition of these molecules. Extrapolating from the so-obtained d...
Theoretical and experimental considerations on poly(dihalophenylene oxide)s
Kisakürek, Duygu (Wiley, 1988)
The decomposition of copper(II) trihalophenoxides in acetonitrile yields poly(dihalophenylene oxide)s. A 1H n.m.r. study has shown that a bromine atom in the 4‐position of the trihalophenoxides results in polymers having higher linearity. Various dynamic and static methods, within the framework of Hückel molecular orbital theory, have been used to explain the product distribution.
Synthesis of a New 2,3-Diaminoconduritol with Conduritol F Structure
Ekmekci, Zeynep; Balcı, Metin (2012-09-01)
A new 2,3-diaminoconduritol derivative with the conduritol F structure was prepared starting from cyclohexa-1,4-diene. Initially, a lactam, prepared by the cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) to cyclohexa-1,4-diene, was converted into an amino acid. The conversion of the acid functionality into an isocyanate resulted in the formation of an imidazolidinone derivative, formed by an intramolecular cyclization. In the second part of this work, the known anhydride, 3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-...
