Embryogenic cultures (EC) of Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica (Loudon) Businsky) were initiated from immature pre-cotyledonary zygotic embryos sampled weekly from 16 different trees in 2 consecutive years. Douglas-fir cotyledon revised (DCR) medium supplemented with 13.6 μM of 2,4-D and 2.2 μM of BAP was used for initiation and maintenance of EC. Overall initiation frequencies of EC in the study were 0.92% in 2004 and 1.96% in 2005: tree values ranged from 0.0% to 7.32%. Overall, 0.38% and 0.62% of the initial explants were converted into established cell lines in 2004 and 2005, respectively. © TÜBİTAK.

Genetic differentiation of European black poplar (Populus Nigra L.) clones and populations with respect to some enzymes involved in biosynthesis of cellulose and lignin
Taşkıran, Bircan; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2020)
The European black poplar, (Populus nigra L.) is ecologically and economically important fast-growing trees. Its wide distribution range in northern hemisphere, easy vegetative propagation, rapid growth rate and hybridization ability, and also its biomass source potential make European black poplar a perfect candidate for lignocellulosic biomass production. In this study, specific activities of two important cellulose related (SuSy and UGPase) and three lignin pathway related (PAL, 4CL, and CAD) enzymes, we...
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 evolutionary divergence of Pinus nigra subsp pallasiana and its varieties based on noncoding trn regions of chloroplast genome
Gulsoy, Aysun Demet; Gulsoy, Ali Murat; Cengel, Burcu; Kaya, Zeki (2014-01-01)
The Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe var. pallasiana] is one of the subspecies of European black pine, growing naturally as a widespread mid-elevation species in the southern, western, and northern Anatolian Mountains of Turkey. Three well-recognized varieties [var. pallasiana, var. fastigiata Businsky with pyramidal form, and var. seneriana (Saatcioglu) Yalt. with globular-shaped crown with multiple stems] occur naturally, but the studies on them are very limited. ...
Identification of differentially expressed transcripts from leaves of the boron tolerant plant Gypsophila perfoliata L.
Unver, Turgay; Bozkurt, Osman; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-08-01)
Very recently some of the species of Gypsophila genus collected from the boron rich soils in Turkey were shown to be remarkably tolerant to high levels of boron. A limited amount of boron is necessary for the normal development of plants; however, a high level of boron in soil is generally toxic. Nevertheless, the adaptability of plant species allows them to withstand the presence of extreme amounts of metal ion by various strategies. This study is conducted on highly boron tolerant Gypsophila perfoliata L....
In vitro regeneration of Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] from excised embryos
Kaya, Zeki (1997-12-01)
Adventitious buds and shoots were regenerated in vitro from the excised embryos of Anatolian black pine (Pinus niqra subsp. pallasiana) on Schenk and Hildebrand (SH), Gresshoff and Doy (GD), White, Gamborg (G), White (W) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM) containing 22.4-44.4 μM benzyladenin (BA) and 0.054 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). BA concentrations ranging from 8.9 μM to 44.4 μM were adequate for growth and development of adventitious shoots. For root development, 2.7 μM NAA was the best. Among the tes...
