It is crucial to determine genetic diversity and population structure of this species for its conservation measures; therefore, 111 individuals from five natural populations of S. yildirimlii were investigated by using 15 inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) primers. The percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL), Nei’s gene diversity (H), and Shannon’s information index (I) at the species and population-level were determined as 93.9%, 0.183, 0.292 and 56.5%, 0.158, 0.242, respectively. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that there is more genetic variation within populations (84%) than among populations (16%). Nei’s differentiation coefficient (G ST = 0.144) was determined to be moderate, which was confirmed by the level of genetic differentiation among populations. Gene flow (N m = 2.984) showed high genetic exchange among populations. Pairwise genetic distance values among populations ranged from 0.0219 to 0.0512. The Mantel test revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between genetic and geographical distance (r = 0.493, p < 0.001). The Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA) dendrogram and Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) showed similar results. STRUCTURE analysis (ΔK = 3) revealed that the K test yielded maximum peaks for 3 clusters. Based on the findings, measures for genetic conservation and management of this species were presented.","PeriodicalId":23369,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43387348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mokko lactone (ML) belongs to the guaianolide family of sesquiterpenes, which has been separated from C. speciosus . It showed noticeable antiinflammation and antioxidative capacities. The current study explored the ML hepatoprotective potential against FHF (fulminant hepatic failure) in mice. FHF was successfully established using intraperitoneal injection of ᴅ -galactosamine ( ᴅ -GalN, 700 mg/kg)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 µg/kg) in male Swiss-albino mice. The mice were pretreated with ML (20 or 40 mg/kg, orally) daily for five days before ᴅ -GalN/LPS challenge. Eight hours after D-GalN/LPS injection, serum and hepatic tissue were harvested for different biochemical, histologic grading, immunohistochemical, and ELISA analyses. The results have shown that d-GalN/LPS-induced massive hepatic damage that was evident through the tremendous increase in serum biochemical parameters: transaminases, γ-GT, and ALP, as well as deteriorated histopathological architecture of the liver. d-GalN/LPS created a state of oxidative damage in the hepatocytes as there was a significant rise in MDA level concurrently with depressed antioxidants as GSH (reduced glutathione), SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity, and TAC (total antioxidant capacity). Ad-ditionally, d-GalN/LPS activated NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-B), resulting in an increase in the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. Interestingly, all these changes were amended by ML pretreatment, indicating the potent hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory efficacy of ML against d-GalN/LPS-induced FHF. These effects could be mediated through inhibition of NF-κB/downstream cytokine signaling. Hence, ML is suggested as new candidate for the treatment of FHF.","PeriodicalId":23369,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48652336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to effectively screen plants with strong tolerance to metal contamination by analyzing the levels of metals in Barbula rigidula (Hedw.) Mild. (BR), Barbula indica (Hook.) Spreng. (BI), and Barbula vinealis Brid. (BV) and in soils. The contents of metals in mosses obtained from the bauxite tailing area followed the following order: Al > Fe > Zn > Cu. Furthermore, the levels of these metals were highest in BR, followed by BI and BV. However, concentrations of Al (12,220–87,080 mg/kg), Fe (8520–62,690 mg/kg), Cu (98.5–185.4 mg/kg), and Zn (208.2–352.6 mg/kg) in soils greatly exceeded the background values. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) analysis showed that the uptake ability of mosses was 0.44–1.51, with BR having the highest uptake ability, especially for Al and Fe. The metal contamination factor (CF) in soils was 2.04–15.12, indicating that the soil was exposed to moderate to severe contamination. Correlation analyses found that Al and Fe levels in BR and soil were significantly positively correlated ( r = 0.898). PCA also confirmed that BR is a bioindicator and phytoremediation material of polluted soil in an abandoned karst bauxite tailing.","PeriodicalId":23369,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48241082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Solanum torvum is robust to Verticillium and some bacterial wilts and root-knot nematode. It was reported that interspecific hybrid plants originated out of the hybridization of these species were sterile. In our previous studies that have been carried out to overcome this interspecific hybridization barrier, only from Faselis F 1 that was used as the female parent, many interspecific hybrid seeds were obtained and 9.07% of the seeds grew into plants in vitro. The percentage of pollen viability and germination of tetraploid interspecific hybrid (amphidiploid) genotypes that have been produced by in vitro colchicine treatment, were 6.8 and 3.4 fold of its source diploid genotype, respectively. However, the increment was not high enough to overcome the interspecific hybridization barrier between S. torvum and S. melongena . In this study, the changes in pollen fertility of diploid interspecific hybrids and tetraploid plants, which have grafted on Pala or Faselis F 1 , were investigated. Pollen viability and germination percentage in diploid genotypes were not affected by grafting, although they increased significantly (51.54% and 119.73%, respectively) in tetraploid genotypes by grafting. It was determined that the fertile diploid rootstock used for the tetraploid genotypes that produced by chromosome doubling from cultured eggplants could increase the number of seeds per fruit. It was concluded that some fertile diploid varieties can be used as rootstocks in order to increase pollen viability, germination rate and seed yield of tetraploid genotypes with low pollen yield obtained from cultivated eggplant by chromosome doubling.","PeriodicalId":23369,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47181128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to expand our current understanding by cultivating the diatom Cyclotella under controlled process conditions of a bubble column photobioreactor and analyzing CO 2 consumption dynamics in real time using results from an online CO 2 sensor connected to the reactor exhaust. Two sets of experiments were conducted: they served to contrast the influence of silicon and nitrate (Si&N colimitation) and Si limitation, and the light availability, respectively. CO 2 consumption was calculated based on the mass balance around the reactor inlet and outlet gas streams. Biomass samples and lipid extracts were analyzed for carbon (C) content to determine biomass-C and lipid-C concentrations. The outlet CO 2 concentrations varied significantly with cultivation time and process conditions. More than 15% to 65% of the CO 2 introduced left the reactor in the exhaust at any instance based on the set CO 2 transfer rates. The highest average daily capturing efficiency was 60%. Nutrient limitation regimes imposed generated unique CO 2 consumption profiles undiscernible by the biomass-C analysis, i.e. unlike Si limitation, N limitation had more immediate detrimental effects on C consumption. Final biomass-C concentration increased with increasing N and light availability, 275 mg/L vs. 336 mg/L, and 270 mg/L vs. 501 mg/L, respectively. Biomass-C based capturing efficiency approximations resulted in 20% to 40% underestimation. Under Si-limited conditions, the higher light intensity increased the final lipid-C to biomass-C ratio by two times (from 20% to 40%) and the final lipid-C concentration and peak productivity by four times (from 56 mg/L to 216 mg/L, from 7 to 30 mg/L-day, respectively).

This study aimed to investigate phenolic compounds; cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities; total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents of the methanol, ethanol, and water extracts of Padina pavonica (PP) and Zanardinia typus (ZT) . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which ZT was evaluated in terms of phenolic content, antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities. The HPLC analysis allowed the identification of five phenolic compounds containing rutin (0.31 ± 0.04 – 3.00 ± 0.21 ppm) in all extracts and trans - p -coumaric acid (0.15 ± 0.02 – 3.95 ± 0.02 ppm) in MPP, EPP, MZT, EZT, WZT as the major compounds. TPC and TFC of the extracts were calculated as 11.78 ± 0.75 – 76.78 ± 0.54 µg GAEs/mg extract and 6.78 ± 0.17 – 29.50 ± 2.23 µg QEs/mg extract, respectively. The highest cytotoxicity was observed in EZT (CC 50 : 132.3 ± 22.4 µg/mL) against MCF-7 and MZT (CC 50 : 91.4 ± 20.9 µg/mL) against MIA PaCa-2. Among the studied extracts, EPP showed the best antibacterial activity against all test pathogens. Also, EPP indicated superior antibacterial activity against Plesiomonas shigelloides (MIC: 1.25 mg/mL) and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC: 1.25 mg/mL).
