BACKGROUND AND AIMS Live imaging methods have become extremely important for the exploration of biological processes. In particular, non-invasive measurement techniques are key to unravelling organism-environment interactions in close-to-natural set-ups, e.g. in the highly heterogeneous and difficult-to-probe environment of plant roots: the rhizosphere. pH and CO2 concentration are the main dri...

Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area of insect pest management. The lepidopteran insect pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported to be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized chimeric Bt gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains...

1. A trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor was isolated by extraction of chick-pea meal at pH8.3, followed by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and successive column chromatography on CM-cellulose and calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite). 2. The inhibitor was pure by polyacrylamide-gel and cellulose acetate electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. 3. The inhibitor had a molecular we...

Bu çalışmada fiğ ( Vicia sativa L.), nohut Cicer arietinum L.) ve arpa Hordeum vulgare gelişimi üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla, bazı Şanlıurfa Baraj Göllerinde yoğun olarak bulunan Microcystis viridis Aphanizomenon gracile’ in karışık kültürünün farklı dozlarının etkisi araştırılmıştır. Siyanobakteri karışımından hazırlanan dozlar, topraklara püskürtülerek uygulanmıştır. Kök uzunluğu ba...

The objective of this research is to implement extraction and degradation methods for the obtainment of 3-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-galactopyranosyl] soyasapogenol B (chickpeasaponin B1) from chickpea. The effects of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) processing parameters-such as ethanol concentration, solvent/solid ratio, extraction temperature, microwave irradiation power, and irradi...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is one of the most significant legume crops and supply high-quality protein for human nutrition. such as chickpea are important agriculturally because their symbiotic ability to nitrogen fixation with specific soil bacteria. Legumes like depend on provided by activity grow, but these rhizobium bacteria affected plant-parasitic nematodes that cause less decrease number...

There was a linear increase in poly (A+) polymerase activity in the C. arietinum epicotyls during germination. Six-day-old auxin treated seedlings showed about 3-4 fold stimulation in enzyme activity, accompanied with 3- fold rise in the relative abundance of poly (A+) RNA levels. Actinomycin D, cycloheximide, cordycepin and amino acid analogues caused dramatic decline in poly (A+) polymerase a...
