© 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.Background: Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an agronomic crop belonging to the legume family, and is the top second plant species with the highest iron (Fe) content. When exposed to Fe-deficiency during growth in the field, soybean yields are negatively affected from impaired chlorophyll biosynthesis, which is called as Fe-deficiency chlorosis (IDC). Although IDC in soybeans has been observed for years, the molecular studies to develop IDC-tolerant soybean cultivars were slower compared to the studies of other plant species. Scope: Recently, there are efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms behind IDC tolerance and use them to develop IDC-tolerant soybeans via molecular breeding and transgenic approaches. Genetic transformation of soybean is relatively easy, and loss-of-function mutant collections are readily available. There is a divergence in IDC tolerance among soybean cultivars, suggesting a potential improvement of soybean tolerance to IDC via molecular breeding. This mini review covers the latest developments in the field of soybean research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of IDC tolerance. Conclusion: Soybean should be used a new model plant in understanding the Fe-deficiency tolerance mechanisms especially because of its high potential to be used as a bio-fortified crop to treat the iron deficiency in humans in the future.

Taxonomic revision of six Astragalus sections that native to Turkey based on non-coding trn regions of cpDNA Ateş, Mevlüde Alev; Karaman Erkul, Seher; Önde, Sertaç; Aytaç, Zeki; Kaya, Zeki (null; 2018-01-08) Astragalus, belonging to the legume family Fabaceae, is a large genus with about 3,000 species of herbs and small shrubs in Northern Hemisphere.The aim of this study is to revise Macrophyllium, Hymenostegis, Poterion, Megalocystis, Halicacabus and Hymenocoleus sections of genus Astragalus naturally found in Turkey by using three noncoding trn regions from chroloplast DNA.
Genetic transformation of lentil ( Lens culinaris m. cv.Sultan.1) with a transcription factor regulator (MBF1c) and analysis of transgenic plants Kamçı, Hamdi; Çelikkol Akçay, Ufuk; Kamçı, Hamdi; Department of Biotechnology (2011) Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation of lentil Sultan 1 cultivar with MBF1c and evaluation of transgenic plants was aimed. The study was initially based on optimized protocol with Agrobacterium tumefaciens KYRT1 strain and pTJK136 binary plasmid. Based on this protocol and transient marker gene expression in embryo apex, 15% stable transformation efficiency was aimed. However limited knowledge about pTJK136 and problem with curing KYRT1 leaded us to use Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58C1 strain and al...
Feeding strategy development for benzaldehyde lyase production by recombinant escherichia coli bl21 Levent, Hande; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008) This study focuses on the molasses based complex medium design for benzaldehyde lyase production by recombinant E. coli BL21 and development of a feeding strategy based on the designed complex medium. For this purpose, firstly, the effects of molasses were investigated in laboratory scale bioreactors. As E. coli BL21 was not able to utilize sucrose, molasses was pretreated and hydrolyzed to fructose and glucose. Thereafter, effect of pretreated molasses concentration was investigated in the range of 16 to 5...
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope (LM) studies on the seed morphology of Verbascum taxa (Scrophulariaceae) and their systematic implications Cabi, Evren; Baser, Birol; Yavru, Ahter; Polat, Filiz; Toprak, Umut; KARAVELİOĞULLARI, FAİK AHMET (2011-06-01) Verbascum L. is the largest genus of the family Scrophulariceae and includes several species are of medicinal importance. In this study, external seed morphologies of 30 taxa included in Group A belonging to genus Verbascum L. (Scrophulariaceae) in Turkey, have been investigated using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and LM (Light Microscopy). Light microscope observations showed that seed size ranges from 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm in length and 0.1 to 0.6 in width. Seeds vary from oblong, oblong prismatic, trigon...
DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION OF PNCES A4 IN POPULUS NIGRA Akkad, Raitha; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-5-27) Populus nigra L. owes to be the most critical pioneer tree species in riparian ecosystems and is considered an ecologically and economically-wise imperative fast-growing species. Moreover, it is a great tree species for biomass and bioenergy utilization and cellulose content manipulation. The limited energy resources from fossil fuels demand an alternative efficient biomass crop, where Populus nigra shows to be a great candidate. In this study, the CesA (cellulose synthase) secondary cell wall-related CesA4...
