Wheat and wheat products are more important sources of energy and nutrients in diets of people in many cultures compared to other foods. The daily consumption of wheat is about 200 g/d/person in Western Europe and North America. On the other hand, 400-450 g of wheat and wheat products are consumed daily by average Turkish people. Wheat samples collected from the Iskenderun region in 1995 and 1996 and Ankara and Istanbul regions in 1995 were analyzed for their trace element content by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). In addition, 13 soil samples were collected from the Iskenderun region in 1996. Total soil samples were analyzed by INAA and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), EDTA-extractable elements by INAA, and DTPA-extractable elements by AAS. Correlation analysis and enrichment factor calculations were applied to the trace element results. In wheat samples, a strong correlation was found between the elements such as Sc, La, Sm, Rb, and K whose main source is soil. The concentration of Se appeared to show larger variations among different regions. No significant correlation was observed for elements such as As and Se whose main sources in the atmosphere are anthropogenic activities.

Identification of proteins interacting with tagged-pathogen effector protein in agro-delivered planta Dagvadorj, Bayantes; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Günel, Aslıhan; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Wheat is one of the most essential food sources in the world. However, there has been serious yield loss of wheat production due to stripe rust disease caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. The cost-effective and long-lasting defense to the disease can be achieved by generating genetically resistant crops against the disease forming pathogens. To accomplish this, first step is to acquire knowledge in the plant pathogen interactions of the crop and the pathogen of interests at th...
Changes in the chemical composition of an acidic soil treated with marble quarry and marble cutting wastes TOZSİN, Gülşen; ÖZTAŞ, Taşkın; Arol, Ali İhsan; KALKAN, Ekrem (Elsevier BV, 2015-11-01) Soil acidity greatly affects the availability of plant nutrients. The level of soil acidity can be adjusted by treating the soil with certain additives. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of marble quarry waste (MQW) and marble cutting waste (MCW) on the chemical composition and the acidity of a soil. Marble wastes at different rates were applied to an acid soil. Their effectiveness in neutralizing the soil pH was compared with that of agricultural lime. The changes in the chemical comp...
Effects of legume flours on batter rheology and cake physical quality Aydoğdu, Ayça; ÖZKAHRAMAN, Canan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2016-08-25) Legumes are good sources of proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fibers and minerals. Therefore, legume flours can be a good choice to obtain functional foods. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of legume flours (lentil, chickpea and pea) on rheological properties of cake batter and quality of legume cakes. Wheat flour was replaced partially (20 and 30%) by lentil, chickpea and pea flour to develop legume cake formulations. As quality parameters, weight loss, specific volume, hardness and color were...
The expression of gst genes in diabetic rat liver tissues İrtem Kartal, Deniz; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biochemistry (2008) Free radicals which have critical roles in living systems through their beneficial and detrimental effects play an important role in medical revolution in health. Radicals are produced in the cells and tissues of our bodies by various processes and reactions. Diabetes mellitus is an extremely common disease in the world which seems to be accompanied by a shortage of antioxidants and an increase in free radicals, the end result of oxidative stress. Glutathione S-Transferases (GST; EC 2.5.1.18) are found in e...
The Effect of Boron-Containing Nano-Hydroxyapatite on Bone Cells Gizer, Merve; Kose, Sevil; KARAOSMANOĞLU, BEREN; Taskiran, Ekim Z.; BERKKAN, AYSEL; Timucin, Muharrem; Korkusuz, Feza; KORKUSUZ, PETEK (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-01) Metabolic diseases or injuries damage bone structure and self-renewal capacity. Trace elements and hydroxyapatite crystals are important in the development of biomaterials to support the renewal of bone extracellular matrix. In this study, it was assumed that the boron-loaded nanometer-sized hydroxyapatite composite supports the construction of extracellular matrix by controlled boron release in order to prevent its toxic effect. In this context, boron release from nanometer-sized hydroxyapatite was calcula...
