In vitro culture offers approaches to study cellular responses and to obtain cells tolerant to high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were to select wheat cells that tolerate high temperature stress, study cell line stability and cytogenetic characteristics, and compare protein synthesis in selected and control cell lines after exposure to heat stress. Three of 600 colonies plated were recovered after cells had been exposed to 48-degrees-C. Forty-five percent of the cells of the tolerant cell line, M48 survived when they were returned to a normal temperature (22-degrees-C) for 6 mo and rechallenged with a 48-degrees-C treatment. The control cell line exhibited 0.8% survival under this treatment. Chromosomal elimination and genomic rearrangements were observed extensively for the cell lines before and after heat selection. Heat selection did enhance the occurrence of polytene chromosomes and the frequency of extrachromosomal DNA. When cell viability was evaluated in cell suspension cultures, M48 had a higher percentage of viable cells than the control cell line. Analysis of S-35-methionine in vivo labeled proteins showed that the selected M48 cell line maintained the synthesis of most normal proteins under a heat shock of 40-degrees-C for 4 h, with synthesis of several unique low molecular weight heat-shock proteins (HSPs). A quantitative increase in high molecular weight HSPs was also observed in this cell line. This study demonstrated that a heat-tolerant cell line of wheat can be obtained from in vitro selection, and that this phenomenon was associated with the synthesis of specific proteins under heat stress.

Cell wall uronic acid concentrations of resistant and sensitive cultivars of wheat and barley under boron toxicity
Mahboobi, H; Yucel, M; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Informa UK Limited, 2001-01-01)
In this study, changes in cell wall uronic acid concentrations of boron (B)-tolerant and B-sensitive cultivars; of wheat and barley were analyzed in control (plants that were grown on water and received no B) and B-treated plants. Ten-day-old seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Atay' (B-sensitive) and 'Bolal' (B-tolerant)) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Hamidiye' (B-sensitive) and 'Anadolu' (B-tolerant)) were grown in H3BO3 solution (10 mM final concentration) or water for 3, 5, or 7 days. For determ...
Identification and characterization of hydrolytic enzymes from the midgut of Sunn Pest of wheat (Eurygaster integriceps)
Ogur, E.; YÜCEL, MUSTAFA; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
To help in the development of Sunn Pest-resistant transgenic plants employing protease or alpha-amylase inhibitors, midgut hydrolytic enzymes of Sunn Pest (Eurygaster integriceps, Put.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) were identified and characterized biochemically. We observed levels of very low proteolytic activity of trypsin (3 nmoles/min/mg), elastase (0.66 nmoles/min/mg) and leucine aminopeptidase-like (14.4 nmoles/min/mg) proteases, but no chymotrypsin and papain-like activity. Proteolytic activities wer...
A comparative study on the phenolic composition, antioxidant and enzyme inhibition activities of two endemic Onosma species
Saravanakumar, Kandasamy; Sarikurkcu, Cengiz; Sarikurkcu, Rifat Tayyib; Wang, Myeong-Hyeon (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-15)
The studies on bioactivities of plant extracts are a fundamental requirement for future pharmacological research. Therefore, the present study extracted the phytochemicals from the two endemic species such as Onosma isaurica and O. bracteosa and tested their antioxidant, reducing power and enzyme inhibitory activities followed by scanning of the phytochemicals in the extracts by using liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The results revealed that the antioxidant activi...
Detection of physically interacting proteins with the CC and NB-ARC domains of a putative yellow rust resistance protein, Yr10, in wheat
Yildirim-Ersoy, Figen; Ridout, Christopher J.; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01)
Gene-for-gene (GFG) resistance is a potent defense mechanism in plants, that is mediated by resistance (R) proteins. In GFG resistance, pathogen effector or avirulence (Avr) proteins are recognised by R-proteins which initiate a series of signal transduction events that lead to hypersensitive cell death. In cereals, many R-proteins are comprised of an N-terminal coiled-coiled (CC) domain, a Nucleotide Binding (NB) domain and a Leucine Rich Repeats (LRR) region associated with effector recognition. NB-LRR im...
Ionic liquid pretreatment allows utilization of high substrate loadings in enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass to produce ethanol from cotton stalks
Haykir, Nazife Isik; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
To enhance the enzymatic conversion of cotton stalks to glucose at high substrate loadings and subsequently to produce ethanol, biomass was subjected to ionic liquid and alkaline pretreatments. Ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc), which reduced biomass crystallinity, was effective in improving the conversion of cotton stalks to glucose (82-85%) regardless of the substrate loading used during enzymatic hydrolysis. On the other hand, the glucose yield decreased from 67% to 55% with an i...
