Screening of damage induced by lead (Pb) in rye (Secale cereale L.) – a genetic and physiological approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05-03)
The fields in which lead (Pb) finds application in the modern world have increased dramatically in recent years. As a consequence of this intensive utilization of Pb, its toxicity tends to pose more and more environmental ...
Determination of some heavy metals and mineral nutrients of bay tree (Laurus nobilis L.) in Bartin city, Turkey
(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2012-03)
Concentrations of Al, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb in Laurus nobilis L. were examined for assessment of the impact of heavy metal exposure during winter periods, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. In this study, ...
Mineral element distribution of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings under different salinity levels
(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2012-03)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the world's leading natural fiber and second largest oilseed crop. In addition to textile manufacturing, cotton and cotton-by products are the sources of wealth of consumer based products, ...
Expression of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin in Gordonia amarae enhances biosurfactant production
(Springer, 2006-08)
The gene (vgb) encoding Vitreoscilla (bacterial) hemoglobin (VHb) was electroporated into Gordonia amarae, where it was stably maintained, and expressed at about 4 nmol VHb g -1 of cells. The maximum cell mass (OD 600) of ...
Mineral nutrient acquisition by cotton cultivars grown under salt stress
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)
Physiological responses were investigated in two cotton cultivars grown at various concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) in order to determine the degree of the tolerance of the cultivars to salt stress and understand ...
Assessment of Cd-induced genotoxic damage in Urtica pilulifera L. using RAPD-PCR analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Plants can be used as biological indicators in assessing the damage done by bioaccumulation of heavy metals and their negative impact on the environment. In the present research, Roman nettle (Urtica pilulifera L.) was ...
Influence of aluminum on mineral nutrient uptake and accumulation in urtica Pilulifera L.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-02)
Pollutants can have detrimental effects on living organisms. They can cause toxicity, damaging cells, tissues and organs because of their high concentrations or activities. Plants provide a useful system for screening and ...
In silico analysis of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in chloroplast genomes of Glycine species
(Southern Cross Publishing and Printing, 2015)
Microsatellites, also known as simple sequence repeats, are short (1-6 bp long) repetitive DNA sequences present in chloroplast genomes (cpSSRs). In this work, chloroplast genomes (cpDNA) of eight different species (G. ...
Ecophysiological properties of Turkish endemic Centaurea consanguinea DC.
(Parlar Scientific Publications, 2019)
This physiological and ecological study was performed on Centaurea consanguinea DC. to acquire information about certain characteristics (bioclimatic, edaphic, topographic, biotic etc.) of its habitat and distribution in ...
Analysis of EST-SSRs in silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.)
(Northeast Forestry University, 2016-06)
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) defined as sequence repeat units between 1 and 6 bp occur abundantly in both coding and non-coding regions in eukaryotic genomes and these repeats can affect gene expression. In this study, ...
