Genotyping of Turkish grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) germplasm was characterized by use of six highly polymorphic microsatellite loci (VVS2, VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD27, VrZAG62, VrZAG79). In this study we aimed to clarify the relationships between homonymous varieties coming from different regions. Our results showed a large degree of genetic variability among most of the homonymous cultivars. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 10 to 21, and gene diversity (expected heterozygosity) values ranged from 0.85 to 0.93. Cultivars presenting the same names of Sergi karasi (sampled from Sanhurfa and Gaziantep), Yediveren (sampled from Sanhurfa, Gaziantep, and National Germplasm Repository Vineyard in Tekirdag) and Serpenekiran (sampled from Sanhurfa and Gaziantep) were clustered together, or very close to each other, in a phenogram. Moreover, the alleles at the six microsatellite loci analyzed were found to be similar in terms of base pairs within each of these three closely positioned varieties. However, all the other cultivars failed to show a suitable clustering pattern when comparing their DNA profiles and names. Similarly named cultivars were not generally grouped together in the phenogram. On the other hand, we detected a tendency for differently named homonymous grape cultivars to cluster together.

Induction of embryogenic tissue and maturation of somatic embryos in Pinus brutia TEN
Yildirim, Tolga; Kaya, Zeki; Isik, Kani (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-10-01)
Embryogenic tissues (ET) of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia TEN) were initiated from immature precotyledonary zygotic embryos sampled from 15 different plus trees. Seven collections were made weekly from June 10 to July 22, 2003. DCR basal medium supplemented with 13.6 mu M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.2 mu M benzylaminopurine (BAP) was used for initiation and maintenance of ET. Overall initiation frequency of ET in the study was 11.6%, initiation rates ranging between 4.7% and 24.1% per tree...
The effect of hybrid vigor on callus induction and plant regeneration from mature embryo culture of barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Ozgen, M; Birsin, MA; Onde, S (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The influence of hybrid vigor on callus induction, callus weight, regeneration capacity of callus, culture efficiency and number of regenerated plants from mature embryo cultures of winter barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) hybrid was studied. A total of 15 F-1 hybrids and their parents were used for mature embryo culture. The statistical analysis of the results revealed that positive heterosis was noticed for all these characters except for callus weight. Plants regenerated in vitro were successfully established...
Virus induced gene silencing in Brachypodium distachyon, a model organism for cereals
Demircan, Turan; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01)
Brachypodium distachyon is emerging as a model organism for crops as a better alternative to Oryzae sativa. It shares common characteristics of a model plant with its small genome, small physical plant size, a short lifecycle, and less demanding growth requirements similar to Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we are reporting for the first time, an implementation of virus induced gene silencing (VIGS), a powerful method allowing rapid and effective means of loss of gene function through RNA interference....
Reciprocal effects in anther cultures of wheat hybrids
YILDIRIM, MEHMET; Bahar, B.; Genc, I.; HATİPOĞLU, RÜŞTÜ; Altintas, S. (Institute of Experimental Botany, 2008-12-01)
This study was conducted to determine the reciprocal effects for anther culture response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using a set of 4 x 4 full diallel crosses. Both reciprocal and nuclear genetic effects were highly significant for anther culture response and useful for selection and breeding purposes. General combining ability (GCA) effects were predominant for all investigated anther culture traits. Also, significant differences for specific combining ability (SCA) effects were detected between recipr...
Genetic variability among Turkish pop, flint and dent corn (Zea mays L. spp. mays) races: Morphological and agronomic traits
Ilarslan, R; Kaya, Zeki; KANDEMİR, İRFAN; Bretting, Peter K (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-01-01)
32 Turkish corn accessions representing different climatic, geographic and topographic areas in Turkey were identified. Genetic variation and its pattern in three corn races (pop, flint and dent) included 32 accessions were investigated using 25 morphological and agronomic traits. Vegetative, ear and kernel related traits were significantly varied both among races and accessions within races. Variance component due to races and accessions within race were statistically significant, but the variance componen...
