Five species of eriophyoid mites were detected as new records for the mite fauna Turkey. The samples collected on herbaceous plants and fruit trees in Bahçesaray, Edremit, ?skele Akdamar island Van province, Turkey between 2014 2016. identified eriophyid are Aceria camdeboo (Meyer, 1981) Celtis sp. (Cannabaceae); A. trifolii (Nalepa, 1892) Vicia biennis L. (Fabaceae), Aculus parakarensis (Bagda...

The capability of Prunus amygdalus L. (almond) shell for dye removal from aqueous solutions was investigated and methyl orange was used as a model compound. The effects of operational parameters including pH, ionic strength, adsorbent concentration and mesh size, dye concentration, contact time, and temperature on the removal of dye were evaluated. The adsorption kinetics conformed to the pseud...

Cultivar characterization for fruit trees certification requires fast, efficient and reliable techniques. Microsatellite markers (SSR) were used in the molecular characterization of 29 Prunus spp. rootstocks. The DNA from the rootstocks was analyzed using five pre-selected SSR primers (UDP96-005, UDP96-008, UDP96013, UDP96-18 and UDP98-414) and revealed 81 alleles, which allowed each genotype t...
