The efficiency of AM fungi as bio-control agents in commercial organic agriculture is gaining significance in recent decades. However, little information is available regarding beneficial role of AM symbiosis in organic manure amended soil. In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the growth performance of Chili (Capsicum frutescens L.) inoculated with AM fungi in soil amended with different dosages of organic manure. The experiment was conducted in a randomized design with four levels of organic manure (0, 50, 100 and 150%) and inoculation with five different AM Fungi species (Acaulospora denticulata, Gigaspora albida, Glomus geosporum, Scutellospora corolloidea and Scutellospora scutata). Plants were harvested after 3 months from the date of planting and plant growth was recorded. The inoculation with AM fungi at different levels of organic manure showed significantly more shoot and root dry weight than the non-mycorrhizal plants. The nitrogen content in shoot showed mixed response, resulting into significantly more nitrogen in G. geosporum, S. corolloidea and S. scutata inoculated plants in comparison to the non-mycorrhizal plants as well as plants inoculated with A. denticulata and G. albida. The Phosphorus content in the shoot was highest at 150% of organic manure application with AM plants recording significantly more phosphorus content than the non-mycorrhizal plants. Percent root infection by all AM fungi increased significantly due to amendment of soil with organic manure. Maximum root infection was caused at 100% of organic manure application in soil.

In the river basin, 16 USEPA PAHs were measured in a total of 192 samples consisting of soil, lichen, pine needle and total deposition samples for 1 year to represent the four seasons at a total of 12 points in 4 different regions which were determined as intensive industrial area, industrial + residential area, agricultural area and background. According to the results obtained, the total PAH values, in all sampling points, varied between 69.6 and 1277.7 ng/g (dry wt) for soil, lichen and pine needle samples and between 0 and 937.8 ng/m 2 -day for the total deposition samples. The highest values were determined in the fall season for the lichen samples and ind...

In addition to these, we performed hierarchical clustering analysis to determine similarities of stations according to the macrophyte diversity and physicochemical variables. The IBMR values ranged between 6 and 12. Consequently, we found that the basin is at the mesotrophic-eutrophic level. The high levels of biological oxygen demand, total phosphorus, and suspended solids associated with organic and physical pollution in most stations and the frequency of the emergent taxa support the IBMR results and trophic level of rivers. Also, we found that water bodies chemically similar are relatively floristically similar.

(SO) leaf's nutritive value, collected at four phenological stages, pre-flowering (PF), flowering (FL), seed linkage (SL), and fruiting (FR) by in situ and in vitro experiments. The ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) and in vitro gas production (GP) of SO leaves were measured using three rumen fistulated mature Saanen goats. Significant differences between chemical compositions of the SO leaves collected at different phenological stages were observed (P<0.001). The DM, CP, ether extract (EE), and ash values of SO leaves ranged between 29.16 to 45.63%, 10.11 to 19.79%, 3.40 to 5.85%, and 4.71 to 6.49% during the different phenological stages (PF, FL, SL and FR, respectively). Cell wall components of SO leaves showed a cubic trend due to their capability to form new shoots after grazing. The effective DM and CP degradability of SO leaves ranged between 66.91 to 77.93% and 64.92 to 84.57%, which means an average value for animals fed at approximately maintenance level when rumen outflow rate (r) is equal to 0.02 h −1. Significant differences between the SO leaves collected at different phenological stages were observed in GP at all incubation times (P<0.05 and P<0.001). After 96 h incubation, the gas produced ranged between 20.68 to 27.53 mL/200 mg DM of the substrate. The research findings clearly indicate that degradability of DM, CP, and ME content of SO leaves ranged between moderate to high and significantly affected by phenological stages, however, they could be utilized until the end of the FL stage as forage sources.

In this research 'Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1' cultivars and Hoagland nutrient solution as a hydroponic growing system were used. Salt applications have been started from the period which plants have 4-5 true leaves and continued to harvested time. The salinity of the nutrient solution in the containers has been set up as EC = Control (1.4), 6, 8 and 10 dS m-1. Trial coincidence plots were established with 3 replications and at each repetition including 2 cultivars ('Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1') and 4 different salt concentrations (EC = control, 6, 8 and 10 dS m-1) were applied. A total of 24 experimental plots in all, a total of 384 plants were grown in 16 plants in each plot and the entire trial. Spinach leaf color measurements were performed using the Hunter Lab D25LT instrument. Color parameters measured with the instrument; color (darkness-aperture) brightness (L*) and color coordinates (a* and b*). The measurements were carried out in 3 replicates using 3 different plants in each plot and choosing the most advanced leaf from each plant. According to obtained results; while the differences between the values of brightness (L*) and b values of leaves of the 'Meridian F1' and 'San Moreno F1' cultivars against salt stress were found to be significant with respect to 1%, a* values were statistically insignificant. It was determined that the mean L* value (24,37) of the 'Meridien F1' leaves was closer to the dark than the one of 'San Moreno F1' (24,99). Leaf color of the cultivars was determined as green (-a). 'Meridien F1' (-5,82) was found to be greener than 'San Moreno F1' (-5,71). The leaf color b* value of the cultivars was measured as yellow (b+) and the b + (yellow) values (6.20) of the leaves of the 'San Moreno F1' cultivars were higher. The color brightness (L*) and color coordinates (a* and b*) were statistically significant at 1% level against increasing salt addition to the control application. According to this, with respect to the control application (1.4 dS m-1), the increase of the salt concentration and the brightness values of the leaves (L*) were found to be colored. With salt application, green color values (-a) of leaves were lower than control, while yellow color value (b+) was increased.

In study which were used the 'Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1' as plant material, plants were grown in hydroponic system including Hoagland nutrient solutions under controlled conditions. For this purpose, the cultivars were grown in a climate chamber at 22/18°C (day/night) temperature, 70% relative humidity, 10/14 h (light/night) photoperiod and under 400 µmol m-2 s-1 light intensity conditions. Salt applications have been started at the period which plants had 4-5 true leaves and continued until harvest. The salinity of the nutrient solution in the pot was set up with NaCl. Trial were established as randomized plots design with 3 replications and at each replication consisted of two varieties and ('Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1') cultivars and 4 different salt concentrations [(EC = control (2), 6, 8 and 10 dS m-1)] were applied. Imaging studies were performed with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computed tomography). MRI images were obtained by taking coronal and axial reference planes of the leaves using T1 weighted (T1W) C + and proton weighted (PDW) sequences in GE Healthcare Brand (General Electric, UK) 1.5 Tesla MR device. In CT imaging, General Electric (UK) the Bright Speed Model with 16 detectors device was used. Sections taken at 0.625 mm diameter, 80 kV and 10 mA values following the angio protocol were examined and then with the help of postprocess multiplanar and volume rendering observations, the images were obtained. The most developed leaves of 3 plants at harvesting period were chosen and examined for the study. According to the observations of MRI and CT images, it was determined that the leaf texture of 'Meridian F1' against salt stress was less deformed than the leaf texture of 'San Moreno F1' and at the same time, the water transmission of 'Meridian F1' was better than 'San Moreno'. By this research, it was shown that the damage caused due to salt stress could be determined in the early period by using MRI and CT imaging.

Buna ilave olarak bu türlerde polyploidi çok yaygındır ve aynı türün dahi farklı kromozom sayılarına sahip formları mevcuttur. Bundan dolayı çok yıllık buğdaygil türlerine ait genetik kaynakların bilimsel araştırma ve ıslah çalışmalarında kullanılmadan önce tür teşhislerinin doğru bir şekilde yapılarak ploidi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi zorunludur. Aksi taktirde yapılacak olan melezlemelerde ortaya çıkabilecek genetik uyuşmazlık ve kısırlık gibi sorunlar araştırıcıların zaten kıt olan emek, zaman ve maddi kaynaklarının heba olmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ıslah programlarında kullanmak amacıyla Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi dağlık bölgelerinden toplanmış olan 169 buğdaygil yem bitkisi popülasyonunun (Festuca sp., Koeleria sp. ve Agropyron sp.) çekirdek DNA içerikleri flow sitometri yöntemi ile ilk defa belirlenmiş ve popülasyonların ploidi düzeyi ile safiyetlerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılmıştır. Yapılan çekirdek DNA analizi sonuçlarına göre Festuca popülasyonlarında ploidy düzeyi diploid ile octoploid (2n=14, 28, 42, ve 56) arasında değişirken Koeleria popülasyonlarında diploid (2n=14) ile tetraploid (2n=28) arasında değiştiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte bazı popülasyonların ise saf olmayıp farklı ploidy düzeyine sahip bitkilerden oluştuğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmada incelenen tüm Agropyron popülasyonlarının ise diploid (2n=14) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan tüm popülasyonlar çekirdek DNA analiz sonuçlarınında yardımıyla taksonomik olarak teşhis edilmiş ve isimlendirilmiştir.

Diploid and tetraploid species, as well as two basic chromosome numbers, x = 7 and x = 8, were observed among analysed taxa. The chromosomal distribution of rDNA loci was presented here for the first time using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with 5S and 35S rDNA probes. Onobrychis species showed a high polymorphism in the number and localisation of rDNA loci among diploids, whereas the rDNA loci pattern was very similar in polyploids. Phylogenetic relationships among the species, inferred from nrITS sequences, were used as a framework to reconstruct the patterns of basic chromosome number and rDNA loci evolution. Analysis of the evolution of the basic chromosome numbers allowed the inference of x = 8 as the ancestral number and the descending dysploidy and polyploidisation as the major mechanisms of the chromosome number evolution. Analyses of chromoso...

Avrupa-Sibirya fitocoğrafik bölgesine ait olan, Türkiye'nin nadir bitkilerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada türün, Kırklareli ilinde tespit edilen 12 farklı lokasyondaki popülasyonlarının, toprak özellikleri ile dağılım gösterdiği alanın topografik ve iklimsel özellikleri incelenmiştir. İncelenen veriler ışığında, V. bugulufolium türünün kireç ve magnezyum değerleri açısından düşük seviyede, pH, tuzluluk, potasyum ve kalsiyum değerleri açısından orta seviyede, organik madde, toplam azot, fosfor, demir, bakır, çinko ve mangan bakımından yüksek seviyede olan topraklarda yetiştiği görülür. Türün genellikle eğimin düşük olduğu (x= %4,16), deniz seviyesine yakın alanlarda (x= 70,5 m) yayılış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. İklimsel özellikler bakımından incelendiğinde ise daha çok ılıman iklimin hakim olduğu, neredeyse her mevsim yağış alan bölgelerde hakim olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca türün yaşam alanları olarak orman altı açıklıkları, kuru fundalık ve asit karakterli kayalıkları özellikle meşe türlerinin baskın olduğu orman açıklıklarını tercih ettiği gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde nadir bir bitki olan V. bugulifolium türünün, izlenmesi, korunması (in-situ ve ex-situ) ve sürdürülebilirliği için yapılacak olan çalışmalara temel oluşturması amaçlanmaktadır.

The leaf color b* value of the cultivars was measured as yellow (b+) and the b + (yellow) values (6.20) of the leaves of the 'San Moreno F1' cultivars were higher. The color brightness (L*) and color coordinates (a* and b*) were statistically significant at 1% level against increasing salt addition to the control application. According to this, with respect to the control application (1.4 dS m-1), the increase of the salt concentration and the brightness values of the leaves (L*) were found to be colored. With salt application, green color values (-a) of leaves were lower than control, while yellow color value (b+) was increased.

In study which were used the 'Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1' as plant material, plants were grown in hydroponic system including Hoagland nutrient solutions under controlled conditions. For this purpose, the cultivars were grown in a climate chamber at 22/18°C (day/night) temperature, 70% relative humidity, 10/14 h (light/night) photoperiod and under 400 µmol m-2 s-1 light intensity conditions. Salt applications have been started at the period which plants had 4-5 true leaves and continued until harvest. The salinity of the nutrient solution in the pot was set up with NaCl. Trial were established as randomized plots design with 3 replications and at each replication consisted of two varieties and ('Meridien F1' and 'San Moreno F1') cultivars and 4 different salt concentrations [(EC = control (2), 6, 8 and 10 dS m-1)] were applied. Imaging studies were performed with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computed tomography). MRI images were obtained by taking coronal and axial reference planes of the leaves using T1 weighted (T1W) C + and proton weighted (PDW) sequences in GE Healthcare Brand (General Electric, UK) 1.5 Tesla MR device. In CT imaging, General Electric (UK) the Bright Speed Model with 16 detectors device was used. Sections taken at 0.625 mm diameter, 80 kV and 10 mA values following the angio protocol were examined and then with the help of postprocess multiplanar and volume rendering observations, the images were obtained. The most developed leaves of 3 plants at harvesting period were chosen and examined for the study. According to the observations of MRI and CT images, it was determined that the leaf texture of 'Meridian F1' against salt stress was less deformed than the leaf texture of 'San Moreno F1' and at the same time, the water transmission of 'Meridian F1' was better than 'San Moreno'. By this research, it was shown that the damage caused due to salt stress could be determined in the early period by using MRI and CT imaging.

Buna ilave olarak bu türlerde polyploidi çok yaygındır ve aynı türün dahi farklı kromozom sayılarına sahip formları mevcuttur. Bundan dolayı çok yıllık buğdaygil türlerine ait genetik kaynakların bilimsel araştırma ve ıslah çalışmalarında kullanılmadan önce tür teşhislerinin doğru bir şekilde yapılarak ploidi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi zorunludur. Aksi taktirde yapılacak olan melezlemelerde ortaya çıkabilecek genetik uyuşmazlık ve kısırlık gibi sorunlar araştırıcıların zaten kıt olan emek, zaman ve maddi kaynaklarının heba olmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ıslah programlarında kullanmak amacıyla Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi dağlık bölgelerinden toplanmış olan 169 buğdaygil yem bitkisi popülasyonunun (Festuca sp., Koeleria sp. ve Agropyron sp.) çekirdek DNA içerikleri flow sitometri yöntemi ile ilk defa belirlenmiş ve popülasyonların ploidi düzeyi ile safiyetlerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılmıştır. Yapılan çekirdek DNA analizi sonuçlarına göre Festuca popülasyonlarında ploidy düzeyi diploid ile octoploid (2n=14, 28, 42, ve 56) arasında değişirken Koeleria popülasyonlarında diploid (2n=14) ile tetraploid (2n=28) arasında değiştiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte bazı popülasyonların ise saf olmayıp farklı ploidy düzeyine sahip bitkilerden oluştuğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmada incelenen tüm Agropyron popülasyonlarının ise diploid (2n=14) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan tüm popülasyonlar çekirdek DNA analiz sonuçlarınında yardımıyla taksonomik olarak teşhis edilmiş ve isimlendirilmiştir.

Diploid and tetraploid species, as well as two basic chromosome numbers, x = 7 and x = 8, were observed among analysed taxa. The chromosomal distribution of rDNA loci was presented here for the first time using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with 5S and 35S rDNA probes. Onobrychis species showed a high polymorphism in the number and localisation of rDNA loci among diploids, whereas the rDNA loci pattern was very similar in polyploids. Phylogenetic relationships among the species, inferred from nrITS sequences, were used as a framework to reconstruct the patterns of basic chromosome number and rDNA loci evolution. Analysis of the evolution of the basic chromosome numbers allowed the inference of x = 8 as the ancestral number and the descending dysploidy and polyploidisation as the major mechanisms of the chromosome number evolution. Analyses of chromoso...

Avrupa-Sibirya fitocoğrafik bölgesine ait olan, Türkiye'nin nadir bitkilerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada türün, Kırklareli ilinde tespit edilen 12 farklı lokasyondaki popülasyonlarının, toprak özellikleri ile dağılım gösterdiği alanın topografik ve iklimsel özellikleri incelenmiştir. İncelenen veriler ışığında, V. bugulufolium türünün kireç ve magnezyum değerleri açısından düşük seviyede, pH, tuzluluk, potasyum ve kalsiyum değerleri açısından orta seviyede, organik madde, toplam azot, fosfor, demir, bakır, çinko ve mangan bakımından yüksek seviyede olan topraklarda yetiştiği görülür. Türün genellikle eğimin düşük olduğu (x= %4,16), deniz seviyesine yakın alanlarda (x= 70,5 m) yayılış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. İklimsel özellikler bakımından incelendiğinde ise daha çok ılıman iklimin hakim olduğu, neredeyse her mevsim yağış alan bölgelerde hakim olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca türün yaşam alanları olarak orman altı açıklıkları, kuru fundalık ve asit karakterli kayalıkları özellikle meşe türlerinin baskın olduğu orman açıklıklarını tercih ettiği gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde nadir bir bitki olan V. bugulifolium türünün, izlenmesi, korunması (in-situ ve ex-situ) ve sürdürülebilirliği için yapılacak olan çalışmalara temel oluşturması amaçlanmaktadır.

Even though there are different genotypes and breeds in our country, the most common recurring genotype and bred almost all of our regions is Hair Goat. In addition increasing levels of education and living standards in recent years have led to increased animal food consumption and increased importance of consumers to the quality concept, leading to the entry of organic livestock into our lives. Ulus and Akdağ Mountains, located in Balikesir and Kütahya, has a very rich plant diversity and different mountain ecosystems due to the intersection area of Europe - Siberia, Mediterranean and Iran - Turan flora regions. Over 24 thousand hectares of meadow-pasture area of Bigadiç, Dursunbey, Sindirgi and Simav districts with the significant coverage of woodland pasture and shrublands of this zone, makes this region an important for goat breeding. The main objective of this study is to review current status and future aspects of organic goat farming in Ulus and Akdag Mountain areas.

It is native to Southern Europe and the Middle East, and mostly found in Mediterranean region, America and Mexico. Styrax leaves are rich of some useful mineral elements such as Na, K, Fe, Zn and Cu. The concentration of these mineral elements in Styrax vary acording to region and phenological stages. In this study Styrax leaves were collected from 4 different districts in Balikesir, South Marmara of Turkey, at 3 different phenological stages (early vegetative, flowering and discernible seed). Total concentration of Na, K, Fe, Zn and Cu elements were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Zn, Cu and Fe concentration ranged from 15.4-39.3, 6.2-11.3, 294.8-392.8 mg/kg on DM basis while Na and K concentraiton varied from 0.11-0.71 and 6.59-20.91 g/kg on DM basis during phenological stages. Only Fe and K levels were in substantial amounts in all phenological stages to meet adult goat requirements, while Zn and Cu levels were moderate. With the exception of early vegetative phenological stage Styrax leaves had extremely low Na concentrations. The grazing livestock in the area, intense in Styrax shrub, should be provided with mineral supplements due to low levels of both macro and micro minerals especially after flowering period. =Acknowledgement: This study was funded by Tubitak (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), Scientific Research Project # 218O159
