Bread wheat genotypes, Tosunbey, Alpu 01, ES26, Reis, Nacibey, Altay2000, Bayraktar 2000 and Rumeli, were used. Chemical compositions of whole seeds and seed lipids were investigated. Mean rate of components in lipids to total amount of while seed almost ranges between 53-68%. This mean that rate in minerals, amino acids, fatty acids-enzymes-vitamins was about 53%, 63 and 68%, respectively. Besides, except Ca and the rate of linoleic acid/linolenic acid, differences between whole seeds and lipids in genotypes for the other components were determined as significant at 1%. Differences for Ca and the rate of linoleic acid/linolenic acid were insignificant and significant at 5%, respectively. A substantial amount of components is present in wheat lipid. The ratio of these amounts to the whole seed is approximately one third. Lipid amount and its content composition are important for bread quality. Therefore, consuming whole wheat flour containing embryo and bran provides a better quality nutrition. This rich content of wheat lipid makes it a valuable substance for the cosmetic industry. The results showed that Tosunbey-G1, Alpu 01-G2, ES26-G3 and Nacibey-G5 had the highest nutritional values and better activity. Mn, tryptophan, Na, N and Ca were found as effective components in the shaping and activity of lysine. SOD, Ca, Mg, N, Fe, Na and K were concluded as significant components in Zn activity. Significant components were found in whole seed and lipid as linoleic, glutamine, N, Na and K for B6. In linoleic/linolenic rate, linolenic, N, Na were important components. \u0000Key Words: Bread wheat, genotype, minerals, amino acids, whole seeds lipid, extracted lipid, enzymes, vitamins, biplot, decision tree, lysine, Zn, B6 vitamin, rate of linoleic acid/linolenic acid","PeriodicalId":127990,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity and Conservation","volume":"11 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seeds, which were surface sterilized in petri plates, were subjected to different applications, including exposure to various magnetic fields and control (without exposure). Germination was assessed by observing the radicular protrusion. The number of germinated seeds was recorded over 20 days. In all 3 magnetic field applications, exposure to magnetic field for 1 hr caused the highest number of seed germination (36%, 52% and 50% for 50 mT, 100 mT and 150 mT, respectively) comparing to control (28%). The onset of seed germination was earlier with magnetic field application (day 7) compared to control (day 11).

Hoffm. (Apiaceae) is an annual, herbaceous weed that naturally growing in Türkiye. It is known as “karaheci, pitrak, broad-leaved pitrak, pitrak thistle, water pitrak” in local population. Knowing that there are few studies on this plant and its usage in folk medicine is quite limited. In the present study crude extracts were prepared from the fruits, roots and the aerial parts of the plant collected from its natural habitat. The essential oil was obtained by microdistillation method and its full composition was determined by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) simultaneously. 57, 52 and 42 different compounds were determined, representing 96.3%, 99.7% and 99.3% of the oils of aerial parts, fruits and roots respectively. Total phenolic content, antioxidant (DPPH• and ABTS•+), lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory, anticandidal and antibacterial activities of the extracts were also studied. Furthermore, mode of action of the herbal extract on Candida albicans and C. tropicalis was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy analysis.
