It is important to find alternative solutions for the sustainability of agricultural production to feed the increasing population. Salt stress is one of the most devastating abiotic stress factors and tomato production is also affected by salt stress since it needs extensive irrigation for high yield. The exogenous application of some plant inducers showed promising results in the induction and improvement of plant tolerance to stress factors. Chitosan (2-amino-2-deoxy-b-D-glucosamine), one of the organic compounds, is getting significant attention in agriculture with its potential. Here, we evaluated the potential of chitosan application for salt stress tolerance on tomato. 0.03% and 0.05% chitosan solutions were applied as a foliar spray to the plant and salt tolerance improvement were investigated under untreated (0 mM NaCl) and 100 mM NaCl conditions. The growth-related (root and shoot diameters, above and below-ground biomass, number of leaves and branches, and plant height), photosynthetic parameters (chlorophyll a, b, total carotenoid content), and ion leakage were investigated. According to the results, chitosan application improves plant development in both untreated and salt-stress conditions and improved plant growth. Also, photosynthetic parameters showed that the application of chitosan increased chlorophyll contents under untreated conditions. Our result suggests that the application of chitosan may have a promising effect on salt stress tolerance and further research may shed light on its molecular mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":32452,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Tarimsal Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48786864","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}

XO purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography was obtained with an 11.5 % yield and 694.04 degrees of purity. The purity of XO was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and a single band of around 150 kDa was observed. Kinetic constants (KM and VMax) of the enzyme were determined 1.67x10-4 M and 0.56 U/mL.min respectively by using xanthine compound as a substrate. The in vitro effects of NH4F, NH4Cl, CaCl2, ZnCl2, HgCl2, Hg(NO3)2.H2O compounds and commercially named colchicum dispert, commonly used in the treatment of gout disease in the clinic, were investigated. The IC50 values of compounds showing inhibition effect were determined. Afterward XO was immobilized on glutaraldehyde, which was used as a solid support material. The highest XO activity was observed in the sample of the immobilized enzyme at a rate of 6 % glutaraldehyde. The kinetic constants (KM and VMax) of the immobilized enzyme were determined as 5.18x10-4 M and 0.73 U/mL.min respectively. These values revealed that the catalytic activity of the free enzyme was higher than the immobilized enzyme.","PeriodicalId":32452,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Tarimsal Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67783362","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}

A number of six Langstroth hives containing honeybee colonies of equal strength from the species of hybrid Carniolan are divided into two groups as follows: a control group (untreated hive), and modified beehives that have been treated with the solar energy storage system. The solar energy storage system consists of an insulated wooden drawer located under the beehive's bottom board, containing sealed water bags, and is covered with polyethylene sheet. Solar energy stored in water is used to reduce the variation of inside air temperatures between daylight and night time. The highest values of the honey area, pollen area, sealed brood area, and the number of occupied frames (916 cm2, 842 cm2, 3688 cm2, and 9 frames, respectively) were shown for the modified beehives at the end of March, while the lowest values (98 cm2, 219 cm2, 911 cm2, and 3 frames, respectively) were recorded for the control groups of beehives at January, respectively. In modified beehives treated with a solar energy storage system, there was a significant rise in hive temperature, honey area, pollen area, sealed brood area, and bee population.

This research investigated resistance sources to angular leaf spot on 64 bean varieties widely grown in Turkey using SN02, SH13, and g2303 molecular markers. The findings revealed that the most common gene among the varieties was Phg-2, followed by Phg-ON and Phg-1 genes, respectively. Concerning different gene combinations, it was determined that 17 cultivars had 1 gene, 41 cultivars had 2 genes, and 5 cultivars (Yalova-17, Boncuk, Aslan, Helda, Akman-98) had all three resistance genes.

It is involved in seedling de-etiolation, phototropism, shadow escaping, seed germination, circadian rhythms, and blooming timing, among other reactions in the plant life cycle (collectively termed photomorphogenesis). These light responses are controlled by phytochromes, which interact with a variety of partner proteins. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe members of the phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) gene family including the basic helix loop helix (bHLH) binding site in Phaseolus vulgaris plants, as well as to investigate their responses to salt and drought stress. Various tools in silico approaches were used to identify five Pvul-PIF gene families in the P. vulgaris genome. This gene family contained 324 to 726 amino acids and has molecular weights ranging from 35.11 kDa to 77.67 kDa. The theoretical isoelectric points range from 6.03 (Pvul-PIF-3.3) to 8.30 (Pvul-PIF-3.2). Pvul-PIF proteins were shown to be clustered in three main groups with Arabidopsis thaliana, Populus trichocarpa, Solanum lycopersicum, Zea mays, Arachis hypogaea L., Oryza sativa, Vitis vinifera, Glycine max, and Phaseolus vulgaris species as a result of the phylogenetic study. Segmental duplication was detected between Pvul-PIF-3.2, Pvul-PIF-3.3 and Pvul-PIF-3.1 genes, Pvul-PIF-4.1 and Pvul-PIF-4.2 genes and Pvul-PIF-3.3 and Pvul-PIF-3.1 genes. When the expression patterns of the Pvul-PIF genes were examined, it was observed that they had different levels of expression under salt and drought stress and that they may be involved in specific biological and molecular processes in response to different abiotic and biotic stresses. The results of this research, which were established for the first time in the response to salt and drought stress in P. vulgaris of the PIF gene family, will be a valuable source of knowledge and additional information in the fields of plant biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology, and molecular biology.","PeriodicalId":32452,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Tarimsal Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67784513","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}
