Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31Analysis of Promising Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Lines Performance by AMMI and GGE Biplot in Multiple Traits and Environment(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2019) Tekdal, S.; Dogan, S.; Kendal, E.; Karaman, M.The development of stable and adaptable new cultivars are based only on positive results obtained from the interaction between the genotype and the environment. Therefore, the study aimed to test the stability and general adaptability of promising barley lines in terms of grain yield and traits in multi -environments. For this purpose, twelve barley genotypes were used in the study. The trials were carried out with four replications in a random design at seven environments in years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The superior and stable genotypes were identified with GGE biplot and AMMI (Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) models. The AMMI analysis showed that the major treatment sum of squares was affected by environments (80.6%), GE (14.0%) and genotypes (5.4%), respectively. On the other hand, the first two principal component axes (PCA 1 and PCA 2) contributed to the complete interaction with 88.1%, whereas, PCA 3 and PCA 4 axes only with 12.0%. The GGE biplot indicated that G4 is adaptable for all environments, while Altikat, G2 and G3 showed specific adaptation to El, E3 and E5, G6, G7 and G8 to E6, respectively. According to both techniques, G2, G3, G6, G7, G8 and Altikat were the best genotypes with high yield, whereas G4 was the best with high yield, and stable and general adaptation. The results of biplot indicated that G4 (ARUPO /K8755//MORA/3/CERISE/SHYRIHALEL I/4/CANELA/5/HART-BAR) was recommended for release and it was released as HEVSEL in 2017. On the other hand; G7 and G6 were protected as genetic material to use as parent in breeding programs for yield stability and quality respectively.Article THE CADMIUM PHYTOEXTRACTION EFFICIENCY OF SCMTII GENE BEARING TRANSGENIC TOBACCO PLANT(Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2010) Dağhan, Hatice; Arslan, Mehmet; Uygur, Veli; Köleli, Nurcan; Eren, abdullahCadmium 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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Clonostachys rosea Strain ST1140: An Endophytic Plant-Growth-Promoting Fungus, and Its Potential Use in Seedbeds with Wheat-Grain Substrate(SpringerLink, 2023) Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Özer, Göksel; Derviş, SibelIn this study, Clonostachys rosea strain ST1140, a naturally occurring endophyte in healthy roots of a pistachio tree, was identifed morphologically and molecularly through DNA sequencing, and its endophytic ability and growth efect in/on three solanaceous plant species were tested. Three diferent organic substrates (bread wheat-grain, sawdust, and leonardite) were also investigated for their utility in cultivating and multiplying the strain. In-tray and pot experiments, the rates of seed germination and vegetative development of pepper, tomato, and eggplant inoculated with C. rosea at planting were compared to those of non-inoculated controls. In pot experiments, inoculating seedbeds with increasing doses of C. rosea strain ST1140 with wheat-grain substrate resulted in higher plant height values for all plant species, and the strain endophytically colonized the roots of all plant species. In-tray experiments revealed that ST1140 inoculation resulted in 2–4 days earlier and 10% higher germination rates for all plant species, as well as more vigorous and accelerated seedling growth (10–13 days earlier for seedlings at the 4–5 true leaf stage) on all inoculated plant species. Among three diferent organic substrates, wheat-grain was found to be the most efective for long-term cultivation and multiplication of the fungus, which could be of interest for its development as a commercial product. These results promised the strain ST1140’s use as a biofertilizer in seedbeds with a wheat-grain substrate.Article Comparıson Of Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Lınes Wıth Regıstered Cultıvars In Terms Of Yıeld And Qualıty Characterıstıcs(Applied Ecology And Environmental Research, 2020) Karaman, Mehmet; Aktaş , HüsnüThe study was carried out under rainfall conditions during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 growing seasons in Diyarbakir province of Turkey. The experiment had designed as a randomized block design with 3 replications. The aim of the study was to determine the lines that were superior in terms of yield and quality to the varieties.

Also, grain hardness (GH) (PSI: Particle size index) had significant negative relationship with TW, and a significant positive relationship with plant height (PH) and heading time (HT). 4 lines in grain yield, 3 lines in test weight, 1 line in protein content, 4 lines in zeleny sedimentation and 1 line in wet gluten showed superior performance than all standards. It is concluded that the G19 and G24 lines may be candidates for registration.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Determination of The Effect of Salicylic Acid Application on Salinity Stress at Germination Stage of Bread Wheat(Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi, 2022) Yılmaz, Melikşah; Kızılgecı, Ferhat; Tazebay Asan, Nihan; Asan, Ufuk; Iqbal, Asif; Iqbal, Muhammad AamirUnder changing climate, abiotic stresses especially salinity have posed serious threats to modern crop production systems of staple crops and chemo-priming with salicylic acid offers a promising remedy. The present study aimed at ameliorating the adverse effects of salt stress through optimization of salicylic acid (SA) for two bread wheat genotypes (DZ17-1 and Empire Plus). The trial was comprised of chemo-priming with different SA levels including 0, 0.5, and 1 mM applied to the seeds of bread wheat genotypes exposed to different salinity levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mM NaCl). The response variables included germination indices, roots length, and weight along with seedling traits. The results revealed that increasing the level of salinity had a negative effect on both genotypes of wheat and all traits studied. The DZ17-7 genotype was found to be more tolerant to salt stress. Among SA concentrations, 1 mM imparted a significant influence on germination, root traits, and seedling parameters. Although SA showed positive effects in salt stress conditions in the study, further studies are needed to clarify the role of SA in providing stress tolerance of plants.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Determining Irrigation Scheduling and Different Manure Sources of Yield and Nutrition Content on Maize (Zea Mays L.) Cultivation(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2019) Dogan, Y.; Togay, N.; Togay, Y.The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable irrigation schedules and sources of manure for maize under Mardin ecological conditions. For this purpose, four sources of fertilizer and three irrigation schedules were applied in hybrid maize cultivar to find out their effects on the yield and yield factors in the years of 2014 and 2015. The study used a randomized complete block with split block design with 3 replications. In the study, significant differences were determined on traits at the level of 1% and 5%. The plant height, first cob height, cob length, number of seeds per cob, cob yield, 1000 seed weight, seed yield per unit, hectoliter, protein and oil ratio in seed, Mg, K, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, Na, Ca content of seeds were significantly influenced by irrigation schedules and sources of fertilizer for two years. The highest values were obtained from chicken manure with 9646 kg ha(-1) in the first year and 11019 kg ha(-1 )in the second year, whereas the lowest values were obtained from control with 6363 and 6662 kg ha(-1) for the first year and the second, respectively. But the difference between 180-80 kg N-P(2)0(5) ha(-1) and chicken manure was not statistically significant in the second year. According to the irrigation schedules, the grain yield ranged between 6386-10678 kg/ha in the first year and 7575-12133 kg ha(-1) in the second year. The lowest grain yield per area was from the four-irrigation application, whereas the highest values were obtained from the six-irrigation application. The results of the study showed that grain yield and nutrient level of corn seeds increased, depending on irrigation time and number.Article DROUGHT TOLERANCE INDICES OF SELECTED LANDRACES AND BREAD WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) GENOTYPES DERIVED FROM SYNTHETIC WHEATS(APPLIED ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 2016) Aktaş , HüsnüThe present study was performed to determine performance of selected four synthetic derived bread wheat genotypes, four bread wheat landraces and four modern wheat genotypes under rain-fed and supplemented irrigation experiments based on randomized complete block design with four replications at GAP International Agricultural Research and Training Center, Diyarbakır, Turkey in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. According to results of pairwise correlation and biplot analysis, significant and positive correlation was observed between grain yield in stress condition (Ys) and stress tolerant index (STI), geometric mean productivity (GMP), mean productivity (MP), harmonic productivity (HM), yield stability index (YSI), yield index (YI), drought resistance index (DI) and stress non-stress production index (SNPI) indicating these indices can be used as parameters for evaluating drought tolerant genotypes. Negative correlation between grain yield in stress (Ys) with SSI and no correlation with TOL indicated that these indices should be used in severe drought conditions for screening genotypes. Number seed in spike (NSS), plant height (PH) and thousand kernel weight (TKW) correlated with grain yield in stress conditions (Ys) according to biplot analysis, also genotypes with lower reduction relating to these traits had higher yield in stress conditions. According to results SEN-DER genotypes G7, G10, landrace group genotype G11 (Sorık) were determined as the most tolerant genotypes to be used to improve drought tolerant varieties, while modern wheat genotypes G4 (Ceyhan-99) and G2 (Tekin) were high productive in irrigation conditions and low productive in rain-fed conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Different Harvest Dates to Essential Oil Components of Oil-Bearing Rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) in Mardin(Taylor & Francis Online, 2022) İzgi, Mehmet NecatRosa damascena Mill. is the most prominent rose source for the manufacturing of rose oil, rose water, concrete, and absolute from flower petals. The purpose of this study was to see how different harvest dates affected the essential oil components and rates obtained from flowers in oil rose planted for the first time in Turkey's Mardin Province. Blossoms were taken five times with three replications, at around one-week intervals, from a garden in the Yaylabaşı district at 6:00 a.m. (4, 11, 18, 24, and 31 May). Animal manure and leonardite were used instead of chemical fertilizers for plants. No chemical pesticides have been applied. Essential oil components of the oils obtained by a water distillation system (Clevenger apparatus) were determined by GC/MS. The citronellol ratio, which is the most important component for the quality of the essential oil in the plant, was found to be highest (35.90%) in the first harvest period and lowest in the last harvest period (17.57%). Geraniol levels decreased in the first three harvests, with the greatest level (27.16%) coming in the last harvest. The percentages of citronellol/geraniol varied between 1.51 and 0.65 depending on the different harvest dates. Nerol rates peaked at 15.44% on the first harvest, progressively declined until the fourth harvest (7.92%), then slightly increased on the fifth harvest. Nonadecane continuously increased from the first to the last harvest (4.10%-11.66%). No methyl eugenol was detected. Mardin is a promising location for oil-bearing rose cultivation, given the essential oil components and their ratios.Article Citation - Scopus: 1The Effect of Different Phosphorus Doses on Agronomic and Quality Characteristics of Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum L.)(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2020) Izgi, M. N.In a two-year study, under the environmental conditions of the plains of Mardin province in Turkey, the effects of different doses of phosphorus (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg ha(-1)) on the yield and quality characteristics of the coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were examined. Plant characteristics such as plant height, number of branches, number of umbels, thousand seed weight and seed yield were examined, besides quality characteristics such as essential oil rate and composition. The essential oil was isolated with a Clevenger apparatus from mature fruits. Essential oil components were determined with Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results revealed that phosphorus doses affect the plant characteristics of coriander including plant height, number of branches, number of umbels and thousand fruit weight with positive significance. Fruit yield was not affected significantly. Phosphorus doses had a significant positive effect on essential oil rate. Increasing phosphorus doses affected rates of alpha-pinene, geranyl acetate and camphor positively. However, Linalool and gamma-terpinene were not affected by phosphorus doses significantly. The application of 120 kg phosphorus per hectare, which had the highest essential oil rate in both years, can be recommended in coriander farming.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum L.): Yield and Quality Characteristics(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2020) Izgi, M. N.Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is a spice plant belonging to the Apiaceae family. In this study, the aim was to specify the effects of different nitrogen doses on the yield and quality properties of coriander. In this research; plant height, number of branches, number of umbels, thousand seed weight, seed yield, oil content, fatty acid composition, essential oil rate and essential oil composition were examined. The essential oil contents in coriander fruits was determined by Clevenger apparatus. Fatty oil was isolated by cold press. Essential oil and fatty oil compositions were determined by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS-QP2020) device. While nitrogen doses did not positively affect fruit yield, they had a significantly positive effect on the herbal characteristics of coriander (plant height, number of umbels and thousand fruit weight). It was revealed that nitrogen doses had positive significant effect essential oil rate. Increasing nitrogen doses affected rate of linalool. Nitrogen doses had a significant effect only on butyric acid, and for fatty oil rate and other major fatty acids their effect was not significant. It has been determined that high fruit yields are obtained at 60 and 80 kg ha(-1) nitrogen applications and that the rate of essential oil and linalool is the highest at 100 kg ha(-1) nitrogen doses especially in the second year.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Evaluating Short Stature and High Yielding Maize Hybrids in Multiple Environments Using GGE Biplot and AMMIModels(Soc Field Crop Sci, 2020) Ahmed, Asgar; Hossain, Akbar; Amiruzzaman, Md; Alam, Md Ashraful; Farooq, Muhammad; El Sabagh, Ayman; Kizilgeci, FerhatIn Bangladesh, maize stands second place after rice; since it faces diverse natural calamities during its highest growing season (rabi/winter), particularly strong storm during the reproductive stage. Sometimes in some regions, this crop is completely damaged by natural disasters. Considering the burning issue, thirteen hybrids, including 10 previously selected short stature hybrids were evaluated against three local and standard checks: 'BHM-9', '981' and 'Sunshine' in two consecutive years in seven locations of Bangladesh. Combined analysis over locations and seasons instigated that genotypes 'Sunshine', '981' and 'G10' were the top-high yielders, while genotypes 'G1', 'G2', 'BHM-9' and 'Sunshine' were found the most stable. On the other hand, five genotypes such as 'G3', 'G4', 'G6', 'G8' and 'G9' had the below-average mean yield and the genotypes 'G6' and 'G9' were the most unstable. Among the seven environments, Jamalpur, Joydebpur and Dinajpur were most discriminating and Ishwardi was the least discriminating; whereas Joydebpur was more representative and Borishal was the least representative of other test environments. In the case of plant and ear height, most of the genotypes showed a lower value than all the checks, which was desirable. But among the top three high yielders, local cross-genotype, the 'G10' had the lowest and more stable value for both plant height and ear height. Therefore, considering the plant and ear height, grain yield, and yield stability, the genotype 'G10' has been recommended for release as commercial variety and has been released as new maize variety in Bangladesh with the local name of 'BARI Hybrid Maize-16' (BHM-16).Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Evaluation of the Antioxidant Potency of Seseli L.

With this screening study performed in Seseli L. species growing in Turkey, in the future, it is planned to isolate antioxidant compounds from the most active strains of Seseli L.Article Evaluatıon Of Yıeld And Some Qualıty Characters Of Wınter Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Genotypes Usıng Bıplot Analysıs(Agriculture & Forestry, 2018) Kılıç, Hasan; Kendal, Enver; Aktaş , HüsnüIn this study, it was used 19 winter barley advanced lines which are selected from regional yield trials and 5 cultivars (TARM-92, Aydanhanım, Sladoran, Karatay-94 and Kalaycı-97) in order to determine grain yield and some quality traits under ecological condition of Diyarbakır. The experiment was conducted in 2004-2005 growing seasons in Diyarbakır under rainfed conditions, with randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Grain yield and different quality traits were considered: test weight (HLT), thousand kernel weight (TKW), grain protein content (PC), starch value (STR) and 2.5-2.8 mm sieve ratio (SV). According to the results; the highest grain yield obtained from G16 (5269 kg ha-1), G17 (4930 kg ha-1) and Karatay-94 (4868 kg ha-1) genotypes, the lowest grain yield obtained from G6 (2625 kg ha-1), G21 (3186 kg ha-1) and G11 (3428 kg ha-1) genotypes. According to biplot analysis that based on the visual correlation between traits, HLT, SV, GY and STR were involved in the same group, while TKW and PC were involved individually in separate groups genotypes located in corner of the polygon, G11 and G21 had highest values or desirable traits for protein content, G8 was the best for TKW while G7, Kalaycı97 and Sladoran were the best for HLT and SV. The results also showed that genotypes with appropriate combination in terms of examined traits were selected for national winter wheat breeding programs.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Exploring genetic diversity and Population structure of five Aegilops species with inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers(SpringerLink, 2022) Kızılgeçi, Ferhat; Bayhan, Bora; Türkoğlu, Aras; Haliloğlu, Kamil; Yıldırım, MehmetBackground: Turkey is not only a center of origin for wheat, but also contains wild forms of various cereals. Turkey, located in the Fertile Crescent, has conserved its genetic richness to the present day. The aim of the study was to investigate the genetic diversity of 70 wild wheat species, to evaluate the structure of diversity in germplasm and to generate useful data for further breeding programs. Methods and results: Genetic diversity and population structure of 70 wild wheat species (Ae. cylindrica, Ae. geniculata, Ae. triuncialis, T. dicocoides, Ae. columnaris) collected from Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions of Turkey were investigated in this study with the use of inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers. Of 35 iPBS primers used, 11 yielded a total of 61 alleles. Number of alleles per marker varied between 2 (iPBS-2085) and 9 (iPBS-2394) with an average value of 5.55. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values varied between 0.22 and 0.47, with an average value of 0.35. Average number of effective alleles (Ne) was identified as 1.9488, Nei's genetic diversity (H) as 0,4861 and Shannon's information index (I) as 0.6791. Cluster analysis through unweighted pair-group mean average (UPGMA) method revealed that 70 wild wheats were divided into three main clusters. Genetic similarity between the genotypes, calculated with the use of NTSYS-pc software, varied between 19% (YB2 and YB70) and 98% (YB66 and YB67). Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) revealed that three principal coordinates explained 62.33% of total variation. Moreover, population structure analysis showed that all genotypes formed three sub-populations. Expected heterozygosity values varied between 0.2666 (the first sub-population) and 0.2330 (third sub-population), with an average value of 0.2500. Average population differentiation measurement (Fst) was identified as 0.3716 for the first sub-population, 0.3930 for the second subpopulation and 0.4804 for the third sub-population. Conclusions: Based on present findings population structure of 70 wild wheat genotypes collected from Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions of Turkey were successfully characterized with the use of iPBS markers. Present findings suggested that iPBS-retrotransposon markers could reliably be used to elucidate genetic diversity of Aegilops genotypes.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7First report of Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae on common sage (Salvia officinalis)(Springer link, 2021) Dervis, Sibel; Guney, Inci Guler; Kosar, Islim; Bozoglu, Tugba; Ozer, GokselIn June 2020, many plants exhibited symptoms of root rot and foliar blight in the experimental field of common sage in Sanliurfa province, Turkey. The pathogen was identified as Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of partial sequence of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha gene and the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by successful re-isolation of the pathogen from inoculated plants in the pathogenicity assay. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of N. novaehollandiae causing root rot and foliar blight of common sage worldwide.Article Glaucium alakirensis (Papaveraceae), a new species from Southern Anatolia, Turkey(2017) Aykurt, Candan; Yıldız, Kemal; Özçandır, Ayşen; Mungan, Fatma; Deniz, Gökhan İ.Glaucium alakirensis, a small cushion forming perennial from South Anatolia, is described and compared with related species (G. leiocarpum, G. secmenii). The chorology and ecology of the new species and its relatives are discussed. The IUCN threat category Critically Endangered is suggestedArticle 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 FıratIn 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Identify of Macro and Trace Elements in Grain of Some Barley Varieties and Interpretation Zwith Biplot Technique(University of Montenegro, 2021) Düzgün, M.; Kendal, E.; Zahir Düz, M.; Hatipoğlu, A.The purpose of this study was to determine the content of some macro and trace elements in grain of spring barley cultivars, and to state the relationships between those elements. In this study macro and trace elements (Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Si, Sn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni, V, Pb, As and Se) of barley cultivars were determined by inductively coupled plasma optic emission spektometry (ICP-OES) using grain. The grain samples were digested by microwave system, as well as. As and Se were determined by hydride system. The result of study showed that the content Si of barley cultivars are quite high, however, the concentrations toxic heavy metals of Cd, Pb and as were determined to be below the limit values. The biplot indicated that three group occurred among macro and trace element and the correlation of Zn with Sn, Cr with Ca and Fe, Ca with Fe and Pb was significant and positively, while V with Si was significant and negatively. On the other hand, the study showed that Samyeli is the best cultivar based on macro and trace element concentrations and this variety can be used in animal husbandry. © 2021, University of Montenegro.

Cultivated in Semi-Arid Environments(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Izgi, Mehmet Necat; Karaman, Sengul; Toncer, OzlemThis research aimed to elucidate the interplay between number of plants and nitrogen dose on the agronomic attributes, as well as the essential oil yield and composition of Salvia officinalis L. (sage) in the challenging ecological conditions of Mardin, situated in South Eastern Anatolia. A split-plot experimental design was employed during 2018-2019, manipulating the variables of number of plants and nitrogen application rates. The experiment identified camphor, 1,8-cineole, alpha-thujone, and beta-thujone as the major components. The PCA analysis unveiled statistically significant inverse correlations between the concentration of camphor and 1,8-cineole, as well as alpha- and beta-thujone. The results demonstrated that the combination of lower plant number with elevated nitrogen levels yielded higher fresh herb dry herb and dry leaf. While lower plant number and higher nitrogen application independently exerted positive influences on essential oil production and yield, the interactive impact of these treatments yielded inconclusive results. Specifically, nitrogen treatments led to an increase in camphor content while reducing alpha- and beta-thujone contents in the essential oil. Conversely, lower plant numbers resulted in decreased camphor content and an increase in thujone content within the oil. In light of these findings, it is recommended that, under semi-arid conditions, optimal yields can be achieved by employing plant number of 50000 plants ha(-1) and a nitrogen fertilizer rate of 120 kg ha(-1). This research sheds light on the intricate relationship between agronomic factors and the quality of sage cultivation, offering valuable insights into sustainable agricultural practices in semi-arid regions.Article INVESTIGATING ANTIMI CROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES PRODUC ED THROUGH GREEN SYN THESIS USING LEAF EXTRACT O F COMMON GRAPE ( VITIS VINIFERA(2019) Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Eren, AbdullahIn 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 g mL-1, respectively.
