(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2019) Eren, Abdullah; Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü
Nowadays the environmental pollution caused by heavy metals is spreading all over the world, especially where the industry is developing rapidly, and soils are polluted very dramatically and hazardously at a high level. In this study, cocklebur-(Xanthium strumarium L.) plants were grown in nickel (Ni) contaminated soil (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg Ni kg(-1)) under greenhouse conditions for 6 weeks to study the ability of Ni uptake and accumulation of the plants. The Ni treated plants were compared with the control (0 mg Ni kg(-1)) plant. As a result of that comparison, chlorophyll levels of old and young leaves, dry weights, reduced glutathione (GSH), macronutrient concentrations, such as nitrogen (N), phosphor (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)) and micronutrient concentrations, such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) nutrient concentrations of the plants were decreased, whilst the concentrations of Ni and of copper (Cu) increased with increasing dose of Ni application. The results show that the studied plant (Xanthium strumarium L.) can be used for the cleaning up of Ni-contaminated soils and is suitable for phytoremediation.

(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2019) Doğaroğlu, Z.G.; Eren, Abdullah; Eren, A.; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü
The release of nanoparticles and biodegradable chelating agents into the environment may cause toxicological and ecotoxicological effects. The aim of this study is to determine the ecotoxic effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) on most cultured four plants. The durum wheat, bread wheat, barley, and rye are exposed to 5 mL 10 mg L−1 ZnO nanoparticles and 10 mg L−1 EDDS in the seed germination stage. Results show that these different plant species have different responses to ZnO nanoparticles and EDDS. The germination percentage of bread wheat and rye decreases in the application of ZnO nanoparticles while the germination of durum wheat and barley increases as much as in radicle elongation and seedling vigor. While ZnO treatment causes a decrease in bread wheat and rye germinated rat in the range of 33–14.3%, respectively, there is no change in germination rate of these plants at EDDS treatment. In addition, EDDS treatment positively affects barley germination rate. In conclusion, it is clear that ZnO nanoparticles have more toxic effects on bread wheat and rye than EDDS, while barley is positively affected by ZnO nanoparticles and EDDS. © 2019 The Authors.

Green Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles (AGNPS) From Maize (Zea Mays L)
(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2019) Eren, Abdullah; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü
In recent years, the biosynthesis (green synthesis) of metal nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become one of the safest, most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approaches. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized using maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. For the characterization of synthesized AgNPs different techniques were used, such as X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Thermal gravimetric and Differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA). The XRD results showed that AgNPs had a mean diameter of 12.63 nm and a crystal-like appearance. In addition, antimicrobial activities of synthesized AgNPs were evaluated using 3 different antibiotics against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans yeast. Antifungal activity of AgNPs with antibiotics has been observed to be better than the antibiotics against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations were found to be 0.084, 0.337 and 0.021 mg mL(-1) for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, respectively. The results revealed that AgNPs synthesized from maize leaf extract have antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal activity against Candida albicans yeast, and that the produced AgNPs could be used in the production of biomedical products and in the pharmaceutical industry.

(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2019) Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Eren, Abdullah; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
In this study, a direct approach to fabricating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) via the leaf extract of common grape (Vitis vinifera) has been demonstrated. The produced particles were found with a maximum wavelength of 452.47 nm, spherical shape and the crystal size of 18.53 nm through UV-Visible spectrophotometry, XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) characterization methods. Furthermore, the functional groups involved in the reduction were specified with FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), the elemental compounds were identified with EDX (Energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy) and the degradation points were determined with TGA-DTA (Thermal gravimetric analysis) methods. AgNPs were found to be effective against hospital pathogens, namely Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Candida albicans fungus at the concentrations of 0.314, 0.078 and 0.334 mu g mL(-1), respectively.

(Corvinus Univ Budapest, 2019) Kendal, E.; Eren, A.; Dogan, Y.; Oral, E.; Koyuncu, M.; Doğan, Yusuf; Eren, Abdullah; Kendal, Enver; Oral, Erol; Department of Plant Protection / Bitki Koruma Bölümü; Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü; Department of Seed Production / Tohumculuk Teknolojisi Bölümü
The study was conducted to evaluate the quality of durum wheat grain. For this reason, genetic resources are crucial for the identification of parents and the enrichment of the gene pool that can be used in the development of new varieties for better nutrition of people. For this purpose, 131 populations of landraces, 9 promising line and 5 new varieties were used. The experiment was set up in randomized blocks with 7 replications, according to the augmented (increased) experimental design in 2015-2016 growing season. In the study, we examined total nitrogen content, protein ratio, CIE (Commission Internationale Eclairage) wheat color analysis (L* brightness, b* jaundice, a* redness) of 145 genotypes of durum wheat seeds. According to analysis of variance, highly significant differences (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) were determined for total nitrogen, protein content and CIE L* value, while differences were not significant for b* value and a* value. The superiority of the genotypes was determined by the first two principal components (IPC1 (principle component) and IPC2) in order to create a two-dimensional GT biplot. The sum squares of the first two components were accounted by 45.34% (PC1) and 40.03% (PC2) for genotypes. The GT (genotype x trait) biplot indicated that 9 (nine) sectors occurred among genotypes and quality parameters. On the other hand, three groups occurred among the quality parameters based on the genotypes. The scatter plot demonstrated that there is a high correlation between b* jaundice, and a* redness. The results showed that cultivars and more landraces have general adaptability for all quality parameters, while some genotypes (G79, G78), (G22, G102), (G3) and (G121, G5) showed specific adaptation for N (nitrogen), PC (protein content) and L*, a* and b* values, respectively. According to the biplot techniques, G36 came forward with the N, P and a* value and desirable landraces, G5 for b* value, G30 stable line for all quality parameters, while (G128, G61) and the majority of promising lines (L4, L6) did not come forward with any quality parameters. The results of the study indicated that the majority of landraces can be used as parents to improve the quality of durum wheat varieties. The study indicated that GT biplot can be used to evaluate the genotypes graphically to select the best genotypes for parents to use in breeding programs.

Rhizobacterial application is efficient approach and process focusing less chemical fertilizers for increasing soil fertility and nutritional value of grains for different crops. This study investigated the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens rhizobacterial application on the yield, yield components, grain quality and content of nutrition elements in wheat and in soil. Experiments were designed according to randomized complete block design with four replications in environmental conditions of Diyarbakir province, Turkey, during 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Four treatments of Pseudomonas fluorescens rhizobacteria (control, seed inoculation, foliar application, seed + foliar) were used to investigate their effects on various aspects of wheat crop. Results of present study indicated that P. fluorescens rhizobacteria applications significantly (P=0.05) affected grain yield, Al, K, Mg, and Zn content in grain, total N, and available P, K, Fe, and Mn elements in soil. The maximum grain yield was obtained from the combined application of seed inoculation + foliar application and showed 7% higher yield than in the control. Study indicated that application of rhizobacteria has positive effect on soil productivity, yield and nutritional quality of grains.
