(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Yiğit, Uğur; Türkkan, Muharrem; İlhan, Hasan; Şimşek, Tuncay; Güler, Ömer; Derviş, Sibel
This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of copper-boron (Cu-B) nanoalloys against a range of Phytophthora species, including P. capsici, P. citrophthora, P. palmivora, P. cinnamomi, P. nicotianae, P. cactorum, P. plurivora, P. inundata, and P. megasperma. The nanoalloys were synthesized via mechanical alloying under an argon atmosphere, resulting in the formation of nanocrystalline Cu-B nanoalloys with irregular morphology and particle sizes ranging from 50 to 240 nm. At a concentration of 250 µg mL−1, the Cu-B nanoalloys demonstrated complete inhibition of mycelial growth, sporangium production, and zoospore germination in all tested Phytophthora species. The EC50 values for mycelial growth ranged from 28.02 to 120.17 µg mL−1, while for sporangium production and zoospore germination, they were below 10 µg mL−1. Furthermore, the nanoalloys exhibited fungicidal activity against specific Phytophthora species, such as P. capsici, P. citrophthora, P. inundata, and P. megasperma, at concentrations of 100, 250, 250, and 250 µg mL−1, respectively. Notably, the Cu-B nanoalloys displayed significant protective and curative effects on tuber rot severity in P. nicotianae-inoculated potatoes, resulting in reductions of 94.13% and 92.61% compared to the control, respectively, at a concentration of 10 µg mL−1 (P < 0.05). These findings highlight the potential of Cu-B nanoalloys as a promising fungicide for the management of plant diseases caused by Phytophthora spp.
Alternaria spp. causing postharvest decay on apple fruit in Nigde province, Turkey
(2022) Tulukoglu Kunt, Keziban Sinem; Derviş, Sibel; Özden, Mustafa
Postharvest rots caused by Alternaria spp. result from infections occurring in the apple orchard at or before harvest and these may remain quiescent during the growing phase and only result in decay during postharvest cold storage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify and characterize Alternaria spp. associated with apple black spot and/ or decay during cold storage in Nigde, Turkey. Isolates of Alternaria spp. were obtained from apple fruit (cvs Fuji, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and Starking Delicious) with dark, dry, spongy lesions. The symptomatic fruits were sampled from 18 commercial cold storages in the Nigde Province, Turkey, during the 2020/21 storage period. Decayed fruits were transferred to the laboratory for isolation of the fungi from the lesions. In total, 75 Alternaria isolates were characterized morphologically and were differentiated into 5 phenotypic groups based on their colony morphology, and characteristics of their conidiophores and conidia. At least 5 representative isolates were randomly chosen from each group for the pathogenicity tests. All Alternaria spp. isolates caused round, dry, dark, spongy lesions on/in the inoculated fruits and re-isolates from the inoculated apples of each phenotypic groups were similar to the initial isolates of each group in morphological characteristics. Molecular characterization of isolates is in progress. Since mycotoxin produced by Alternaria spp. in fruits is of unavoidable risk to human health, special care should be given in regards to the need to reduce widespread postharvest losses caused by Alternaria spp. in the cold storages of Niğde, which is the most important apple producer province of the country.
Antifungal effect of boron compounds against Neoscytalidium dimiatum
(2023) Yildirim, Elif; Türkkan, Muharrem; Yiğit, Abdurrahman; Derviş, Sibel; Özer, Göksel; Erper, İsmail
Neoscytalidium dimidiatum has been recently identified as the agent responsible for canker, dieback, shoot blight, and root rot on different hosts in Türkiye. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of boric acid (H3BO3), three borates [disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (Na2B8O13.4H2O), disodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7.10H2O) and disodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7)] on the mycelial growth, germ tube elongation and conidial germination of N. dimidiatum. The antifungal effects of the boron compounds were investigated at 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% (w/v) concentrations. The differences observed between the inhibitory effects of boron compounds on the parameters were found to be significantly important at P < 0.05. The 0.5% concentration of disodium tetraborate decahydrate and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate completely inhibited the fungus, whereas other salts did not. Disodium tetraborate decahydrate and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate completely inhibited three parameters at 0.5% and higher concentrations. However, boric acid and disodium tetraborate were able to completely inhibit investigated factors of N. dimidiatum at 2.0% and 1.0% concentration, respectively. Disodium tetraborate and boric acid at 0.5% concentration decreased germ tube elongation and conidia germination of the fungus by 94.97%-63.57%, 59.33%-51.26%, respectively. The effectiveness of the 0.5% concentration on conidial germination was also similar in both salts at P < 0.05. However, disodium tetraborate inhibited germ tube elongation more effectively than boric acid. The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values of the four boron compounds also varied between 0.5% and 2.0% concentrations. The boron compounds in this study could be potential agents to manage N. dimidiatum.
Bakırla Kirlenmiş Toprakların Xanthium strumarium L. Bitkisi Kullanılarak Fitoremediasyonu
(Türkiye Tarımsal Araştırmalar Dergisi, 2018) Eren, abdullah
Antropojenik aktivite sonucu çevreye dâhil olan ağır metaller, toprak kirliliğine ve toprak kalitesinin düşmesine neden olmaktadırlar. Ağır metallerin topraktan temizlenmesi için en uygun yöntemlerden biri olan fitoremediasyon yöntemi çevre dostu ve ekonomik bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışma, yapay olarak bakır (Cu) ile kirlenmiş topraktan, Xanthium strumarium L. (pıtrak) bitkisinin, fitoekstraksiyon etkinliğini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Farklı dozlarda (0, 100, 200, 400 ve 800 mg Cu kg-1) Cu uygulanan toprakta 45 gün boyunca sera koşullarında pıtrak (Xanthium strumarium L.) bitkisi yetiştirilmiştir. Bitkilerin başta Cu konsantrasyonu olmak üzere klorofil içeriği, biyokütle üretimi, indirgenmiş glutatyon (GSH), bazı makro [azot (N), fosfor (P), potasyum (K), kalsiyum (Ca) ve magnezyum (Mg)] ve mikro [demir (Fe), çinko (Zn) ve manganez (Mn)] besin elementi konsantrasyonları ölçülmüştür. Bakır uygulanmış bitkiler kontrol (0 mg Cu kg-1) bitkisi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Artan dozda Cu uygulamaları, Cu ve GSH konsantrasyonları hariç diğer ölçülen parametrelerde bir azalmaya neden olmuştur. Sonuçlar, pıtrak bitkisinin, Cu ile kirlenmiş toprakların temizlenmesi için kullanılabileceğini ve fitoremediasyon yöntemine uygun olduğunu göstermiştir.

(2022) Alkan, Mehtap; Bozoğlu, Tuğba; Derviş, Sibel; Paulitz,Timothy C.; Özdemir, Fatih; Morgounov, Alexey; Mumınjanov,Hafiz; Amer, Mohammed; Imren, Mustafa; Dababat, Abdelfattah A.; Özer, Göksel
Wheat (Triticum spp.) is the third most important crop in terms of global production, with an average annual production of almost 219 million ha and yielding 760.9 million tons, after maize and rice. However, A complex of fungi attacking the crown and root tissues of wheat causes a serious problem and significant yield reductions in wheat. Although most prevailing species in this complex can change yearly and regionally in dryland winter wheat production areas, Bipolaris sorokiniana Shoemaker (teleomorph: Cochliobolus sativus) is one of the dominant species and causes spot blotch and common root rot (CRR) on wheat plants, especially in winter wheat varieties. Comprehensive surveys were conducted to identify B. sorokiniana associated with CRR of wheat throughout the main wheat-growing areas of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in 2017 and 2019, respectively. As a result of the classification of species based on morphological and molecular tools, 96 and 547 isolates were identified as B. sorokiniana for Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, respectively. All surveyed regions for these countries were contaminated with this pathogen. Some representative isolates of B. sorokiniana were tested for their ability to cause disease and produced moderate disease severities on cultivar Seri 82 (Triticum aestivum, bread wheat). The percent incidence of B. sorokiniana isolates in all isolates was 15.2% for Azerbaijan, whereas, for Kazakhstan, B. sorokiniana was the most frequently recovered species in the three regions surveyed, with an isolated frequency of 44.80%. The results of the current study provide crucial and helpful information to improve disease management strategies against CRR of wheat in these countries.

THE CADMIUM PHYTOEXTRACTION EFFICIENCY OF SCMTII GENE BEARING TRANSGENIC TOBACCO PLANT
(Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2010) Dağhan, Hatice; Arslan, Mehmet; Uygur, Veli; Köleli, Nurcan; Eren, abdullah
Cadmium pollution is a serious world-wide problem affecting the human health and the environmental quality. Phytoremediation, the use of green plants to remove, sequester or detoxify pollutants offers an environmentally-friendly alternative to engineeringbased methods for remediation. The T2 generations of the ScMTII gene bearing transgenic and non-transgenic tobacco plants were grown hydroponically in Hoagland nutrition solution containing 0, 5 and 10 mg/L Cd in controlled growth room to determine their ability to uptake and accumulate Cd within the shoots and roots. There were no significant shoot and root dry weight differences between transgenic and non-transgenic tobacco plants. The ScMTII gene bearing transgenic tobacco plant accumulated 19.8% higher Cd than the non-transgenic tobacco plant in the above ground parts of the plant during the two weeks exposure period in hydroponic culture. In non-transgenic plant, however, Cd is accumulated mainly in the roots. The results of current study indicate that the use of the ScMTII gene bearing transgenic tobacco plant for Cd phytoremediation is limited. Further studies are needed to test the effectiveness of the ScMTII gene for phytoextraction of other heavy metal ions.
Factors influencing adaptation of innovations in small ruminant production in the TRC3 Region in Turkey
(Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2021)
This study investigated the socio-economic factors affecting the adoption of innovation in small ruminant production in TRC3 region in Turkey. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 366 small ruminant farmers from the region. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect main data for the study. Data collected were analyzed using descritive statistics, t-tests and multiple linear regression analysis. Results of the study showed that the farmers had a mean age of 45,8 years and 97,0% were male. Traditional production was dominant among the small ruminant producers and as the number of animal increases the income increases (p< 0,01). Out of twelve independent variables, eight of them were statistically significant on multiple linear regression analysis. The F-statistics was statistically significant at 1% level on communication behavior and animal health practices; 5% level on age, breeding reasons, milking way, produced products and fold type. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) value was estimated to be 0,470 this implies that 47,0% of total variation in the output of small ruminant production was accounted for by the independent variables that were fitted into the model. The main problems of small ruminant production were high feed prices, high deaths of lamps/goat, insufficient use of pastures because of security problems and lack of shepherd due to young people unwillingness to live in rural areas.

Fungi isolated from cankered tissues of declining apricot trees in Malatya and Elazığ provinces of Turkey
(2017) Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Çiftçi, Osman; Derviş, Sibel
Surveys were carried out in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) production areas of Malatya and Elazığ provinces from April to November in 2015 and 2016. Fungal and oomycetous diseases causing dieback and decline symptoms were investigated and locations where the diseases were prevalent were determined according to the districts in these provinces. Nine and 40 orchards were visited in Elazığ and Malatya during the course of the surveys. A total of 665 out of 5750 apricot trees were checked and the disease incidence was found to be 44% in the surveyed orchards. Out of isolates obtained from root and crown tissues of symptomatic trees, isolates obtained from cankered tissues were characterized according to their morphological characteristics. Genomic DNA was extracted from representative isolates. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA was amplified using the ITS6/ITS4 primer pair and sequenced and submitted to GenBank. NCBI BLAST results showed 98 to 100% similarity with the ITS sequences of many Clonostachys rosea f. rosea (Link : Fr.) Schroers et. al. 1999 (Ascomycetes, Hypocreales), Sarocladium kiliense (Grütz) Summerb. 2011 (Ascomycetes, Incertae sedis) (Syn: Acremonium kiliense), Phoma sp. (Ascomycetes, Pleosporales), Entoleuca spp. (Ascomycetes, Xylariales) strains deposited in NCBI GenBank. The sequences were submitted to GenBank and given accession numbers were MF536537 and MF536538 for C. rosea, MF536539 for S. kiliense, MF536540 and MF536541 for Phoma spp., and MF536542, MF536543, MF536544 and MF536545 for Entoleuca spp. isolates. Moreover, Verticillium dahliae and Macrophomina phaseolina were also isolated from inner tissues of necrotic branches and morphologically identified. However, pathogenicity of these isolates needs further investigations. If some isolates were not pathogenic, their endophytic or hperparasitic characteristics against pathogenic ones should be tested in order to fully exploit their potential for use as biological control agents.
Fusarium spp. associated with crown and root rot in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan
(2022) Bozoğlu, Tuğba; Derviş, Sibel; Paulitz,Timothy C.; Özdemir, Fatih; Morgounov, Alexey; Mumınjanov,Hafiz; Amer, Mohammed; Imren, Mustafa; Dababat, Abdelfattah A.; Özer, Göksel
Little is known about the distribution and prevalence of pathogens of underground parts of winter wheat in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. In this study, a detailed survey study was conducted to assess the distribution of pathogen the country to generate information and understand disease dynamics, as well as to test the pathogenicity of the obtained species on a susceptible wheat cultivar.Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a primary source of calories and protein (Shiferaw et al. 2013), grown on 219 million ha and yielding 760.9 million tons (FAOSTAT 2022). Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (T. durum Desf.) provide a major contribution to the diets of humans and livestock in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, with an average annual production of about 1.82 million tons in a planted area of about 0.59 million ha and with 14.3 million tons produced on 12.1 million ha, respectively. Especially, Kazakhstan’s wheat yield (1182.5 ton/ha) falls far short of the global average (3474.4 ton/ha) due to biotic and abiotic stressors.The complex fungal species attacking the crown and root tissues of wheat causes a serious problem, including damping-off, blight, necrosis, and dry rotting of the root, crown, sub-crown, and lower stem tissues, along with wilting and stunting of seedlings and mature wheat plants (Bockus et al. 2010), resulting in significant yield reductions in the major wheat-producing regions of the world (Gonzalez and Trevathan 2000).Template DNA was extracted from 50–100 mg of fungal powder using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The translation elongation factor 1- alpha (EF1-α) gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA were amplified with EF1/EF2 (O’Donnell et al. 1998) and ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990) primer sets, respectively.
GREEN SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES (AgNPs) FROM MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)
(APPLIED ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 2019) Eren, abdullah; BARAN, Mehmet Fırat
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.

Interregional comparative analysis of farmers’ perceptions and expectations of climate change
(Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2022)
This study looked into the relationship and effects of agricultural activities in different regions of Turkey on climate change. This study aims to determine farmer awareness of climate change and its effects, as well as farmer adaptation capabilities in different regions of Turkey against climate change, and to develop extension and policy tools based on the findings. Data were collected through face-to-face surveys with farmers in the provinces where the research was conducted. In this context, a proportional sampling survey of 418 farmers was conducted. The collected information was subjected to factor analysis and the independent t-test. According to the findings, farmers associate climate change with precipitation, and the effect of precipitation and the risks it poses in increasing or decreasing crop yields are of particular concern. Farmers in the Southeastern Anatolia Region are more concerned about heat and drought than farmers in the Mediterranean Region. Furthermore, producers believe that human-caused factors and economic development have a greater impact on climate change than agricultural activities. Farmers in research areas are concerned that climate change will increase migration from rural areas and the decline of forests and animal species. As a result, raising individual awareness and utilising new technology in rural areas is critical. Farmers’ awareness of new and environmentally friendly agricultural techniques must be raised to increase their use.
ITS and LSU-rDNA nucleotide sequences based confirmation of Cytospora chrysosperma and Chondrostereum purpureum from symptomatic cankered tissues of Populus nigra trees in Turkey
(2017) Derviş, Sibel; Çiftçi, Osman; Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Ulubaş Serçe, Çiğdem
Malatya ili Doğanşehir ilçesinde 2016 yılında yapılan arazi çalışmaları sırasında gövde, dal kanseri ve kuruma belirtileri gösteren kavak (Populus nigra) ağaçlarından alınan örneklerden yapılan laboratuar çalışmaları sonucunda piknidyum içeren kabukların altından ve odun dokularından sırasıyla Cytospora chrysosperma ve Chondrostereum purpureum izole edilmiştir. İlkbaharda, kavak ağaçlarının sürgünlerine, tamamen gelişmiş olan dördüncü yapraklarının koparılması sonucu ortaya çıkan yaralar üzerine, C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum izolatları tarafından kolonize edilmiş agar disklerinin yerleştirilmesiyle inokulasyon yapılmıştır. İnokülasyondan üç ay sonra C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum ile inokulasyon bölgesinde sırasıyla 6,4 ve 3,3 cm uzunluğunda kanserler oluşmuş ve sürgünler büzüşmüştür. Benzer bir şekilde, serada gerçekleştirilen patojenite testlerinde, kabuk dokusunda oluşturulan yaraların bu izolatlar ile inokülasyonundan yaklaşık 14 gün sonra kanser oluşumu gerçekleşmiştir. Hastalanan bitkilerin dokularından yapılan izolasyonlarda C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum’un tekrar izole edilmesi ile hastalık etmenlerinin bu funguslar olduğu doğrulanmıştır. Steril ortam diskleri ile inokule edilen kontrol sürgünlerdeki yaralarda kanser oluşmamıştır. Her fungal türün temsili izolatından tüm DNA’nın izolasyonu yapılmıştır. İzole edilen toplam DNA’lar, rDNA'nın internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ve large subunit (LSU) gen bölgeleri için sırasıyla ITS6/ITS4 ve NL1/NL4 primer çiftleri kullanılarak amplifiye edilmiş ve dizilenmiştir. BLAST analizleri sonucunda, daha önce Gen Bankası’nda kaydedilen birçok C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum ITS ve LSU nükleotid dizisi ile %99 benzerlik göstermiştir. Bu diziler Gen Bankasına kaydedilmiştir. C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum’nın ITS-rDNA için NCBI’dan verilen erişim numaraları sırasıyla MF536529 ve MF536531; LSU-rDNA için veriler erişim numaraları ise sırasıyla MF536530 ve MF536532’dir. Bu fungus etmenlerinin Türkiye'deki varlığı daha önce bildirilmekle birlikte bu çalışma, C. chrysosperma ve C. purpureum'un ITS ve LSU-rDNA nükleotid dizilerine dayanarak moleküler karakterizasyonlarının ilk raporudur.
ITS and LSU-rDNA nucleotide sequences based confirmation of Cytospora chrysosperma and Chondrostereum purpureum from symptomatic cankered tissues of Populus sp. trees in Turkey
(2017) Derviş, Sibel; Çiftçi, Osman; Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Ulubaş Serçe, Çiğdem
The fungi Cytospora chrysosperma and Chondrostereum purpureum were isolated from orange-brown inner bark with pycnidia in the bark surface and underlying wood tissues of infected poplar plants (Populus sp.) with symptoms of stem and branch canker in Doğanşehir, Malatya, in 2016, respectively. Twigs of poplar trees were inoculated during their first season of growth by removing the fourth fully expanded leaves and placing agar plugs colonized by representative isolates of C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum over the resulting wounds. Three months after inoculation, cankers in 6.4 and 3.3 cm length formed by C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum, respectively, and twigs were girdled. Pathogenicity tests in a greenhouse experiment by shallow wounds made into the bark tissue and inoculation with these isolates in a similar manner also resulted in canker formation in and around inoculated wounds 14 days after inoculation. Subsequent re-isolations of C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum confirmed that these fungi were the causal agents of the disease, and no cankers formed in wounds that received only sterile plugs. DNA was extracted from representative isolates of each fungal species. Extracted DNA templates were amplified and sequenced for rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large subunit (LSU) rDNA gene regions using ITS6/ITS4 and NL1/NL4 primer pairs, respectively. NCBI BLAST results showed 99% similarity with the ITS and LSU sequences of C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum in GenBank. The sequences were submitted to GenBank. Given accession numbers of C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum were MF536529 and MF536531 for ITSrDNA; MF536530 and MF536532 for LSU-rDNA, respectively. Existence of these fungi in Turkey was previously reported. However, this is a first report of molecular characterization of C. chrysosperma and C. purpureum based on ITS and LSU-rDNA nucleotide sequences of these fungi in Turkey.
