M factors, which determine maleness in Musca domestica, were found on the second, third, fourth and fifth linkage groups in housefly populations of Turkey. As in European populations, the male-determining factor was more frequently located on linkage group III (M-III). Some males homozygous or double heterozygous for M factors were identified. Deviations from a 1:1 sex ratio in favour of males, as well as mosaics for somatic marker mutations and sexual mosaics (gynandromorphs), were also observed. The results reveal an extensive polymorphism in the sex-determining system.

GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF LINKAGE BETWEEN MALATHION RESISTANCE AND AN AUTOSOMAL MALE-DETERMINING FACTOR IN HOUSE-FLY (DIPTERA, MUSCIDAE) KENCE, M; Kence, Aykut (1992-10-01) The pattern of inheritance of genes conferring resistance to malathion and genetic consequences of linkage between an autosomal male-determining factor and resistance genes on the second chromosome were investigated in a strain of house fly, Musca domestica L., selected for malathion resistance. The second and fifth chromosomes contribute significantly to malathion resistance. The presence of a male-determining factor linked with the resistance genes on the second chromosome resulted in a strong sexual dimo...
Phylogenetic relationships among native Oxytropis species in Turkey using the trnL intron, trnL-F IGS, and trnV intron cpDNA regions Tekpinar, Ayten; KARAMAN ERKUL, SEHER; AYTAÇ, ZEKİ; Kaya, Zeki (2016-01-01) We tested the phylogenetic utility of three chloroplast DNA loci, i.e. the trnL((UAA)) intron,trnL((UAA))-F-(GAA) intergenic spacer (IGS), and trnV((UAC)) intron, across thirteen native Oxytropis species. Our objective was to determine whether any of these chloroplast DNA markers could be beneficial to figure out phylogenetic relationships among Oxytropis species. To increase the interspecific sampling, nine sequences of the trnL intron and trnL-F regions were retrieved from GenBank and included in the anal...
Genetic structure of modern and ancient swordfish populations from coasts of Turkey Yüncü, Eren; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2017) In this study, partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and 8 microsatellite loci of swordfish collected from Northern Levantine Sea and Northern Aegean Sea were analyzed. Also same mtDNA region of ancient swordfish samples unearthed from Yenikapı excavation were sequenced. Obtained sequences were evaluated comparatively with the sequences from Balearic Sea, Ligurian Sea, Ionian Sea and Southern Aegean Sea, available in databases. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed a significant differentiation between We...
CONTROL OF INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN LABORATORY POPULATIONS OF HOUSE-FLY (DIPTERA, MUSCIDAE) BY INTRODUCTION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY GENES KENCE, M; Kence, Aykut (1993-04-01) We investigated the effects of immigration of individuals carrying susceptibility alleles on the level of resistance in populations of the house fly, Musca domestica L., selected for malathion resistance. Two types of males, WHO/IN males (homozygous for susceptibility genes) and A14-WHO males (heterozygous for the second chromosome) were released into the resistant populations in 1:9, 1:1, and 9:1 ratios of immigrant/resident males. In both experiments, we observed that increasing the ratio of immigrant to ...
Karyomorphological studies in seven taxa of the genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) in Turkey MARTİN, ESRA; Altinordu, Fahim; Celep, Ferhat; KAHRAMAN, AHMET; Doğan, Musa (2015-03-01) In this study, the karyotypes of mitotic chromosomes were determined of seven taxa of Salvia (Lamiaceae) collected from their natural habitats in Turkey: S. viridis (2n = 16), S. candidissima subsp. occidentalis (2n = 20), S. sclarea, S. ceratophylla, S. chionantha (2n = 22), S. viscosa and S. verticillata subsp. amasiaca (2n = 32). The karyotype formulae were 5m+3sm in S. viridis, 2M+5m+3sm in S. candidissima subsp. occidentalis, 1M+10m in S. sclarea, 8m+3sm in S. ceratophylla, 7m+4sm in S. chionantha, 9m+...
