The Strait of Gibraltar (SG) is reputed for being both a bridge and geographic barrier to biological exchanges between Europe Africa. Major genetic breaks associated with this strait have been identified in various taxa, but it unknown whether these disjunctions produced simultaneously or by independent biogeographic processes. Here, the structure five conifers distributed on sides SG was investigated using mitochondrial (nad1 b/c, nad5-1, nad5-4 nad7-1) chloroplast (Pt1254, Pt15169,...

Population genetic studies can be useful in understanding invasion scenarios of non-native species. Carassius gibelio is an invasive species that found various river and lake systems around the world. In this study, identification was made by mtDNA COI sequence analysis for C. populations along Euphrates River system diversity revealed using D-loop microsatellite markers. A total 19 alleles were detected as a result four It has been determined fish are not Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because...

The aim of this research was to determine the larvicidal activity essential oils obtained from seeds six different Cedrus libani A. Rich. (Pinaceae) populations on Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae). oil by hydrodistillation. Third and fourth instar mortalities concentrations (10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 ppm) each population were compared with those a standard larvicide, temephos. Seed Pozantı, Degirmenlik, Aslankoy, Avlankuzu, Camkuyusu, Sogutozu in Turkey showed high activities, LC50...

Ethnobotanical uses of plant species varies depending on the knowledge and geography civilizations, also prevailing diseases or nuisances in a given time region. Although parts annual and/or biennial plants generally have been preferred for ethnobotanical purposes, secondary products such as tar wood extractives forest trees used natural medicine coating material. This study compares constituents tars produced from by traditional methods modern laboratory Cedrus libaniAchille Richard. In...

Turkish fir (Abies bornmuelleriana Mattf.) and Trojan equi-trojani (Aschers. Et Sint. Ex Boiss) are economically ecologically important endemic species to Turkey. These also becoming increasingly popular in Europe North America due their suitable characteristics for use as Christmas trees coupled with pest resistance. Provenance features, well needle cone seed germination ability, of three two populations were studied. features (vigor score, crown color) mother tree (height class, diameter...

The aim of this study was to estimate patterns the mating system in 2 natural Cedrus libani A.Rich. populations Elmalı, Antalya, with aid isozyme markers. Isozyme analysis performed on both maternal and embryo tissues seeds collected from Avlankuzu Çamkuyusu populations. Eleven loci encoding 8 enzyme systems were analyzed. a homogeneous similar gene pool for studied. Based multilocus estimator, proportion viable originating outcrossing (tm) 0.940 population 0.944 population. In other words,...

Aim of study: Forest geneticists developed various methods to predict an early selection age for forest tree species in order shorten the breeding cycles. This study aims estimate age-age correlations among diameter growth trees at different ages and Pinus brutia Ten. Area P. populations were sampled from most productive distribution range species, which is important eastern Mediterranean Basin. To understand genetic variation determine a common garden experiment was established two test...

Lamiaceae/Labiatae family includes the highest number of commercially used species such as mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lavender, marjoram and sage. These are generally flavoring additives in meat dishes, sausage products, seafood, stews, salads, canned foods, sauces soups. In this study, diversity Lamiaceae members Akseki-İbradı-Manavgat districts Antalya southern Turkey their ethnobotanical utilization region literatures were presented. 149 taxa (131 at level) belonging to 27 genera...

Aims of the study: We aimed to investigate effects TAS2R38 (bitter taste gene) and TAS1R2 (sweet gene polymorphisms, which are most important members Tat family, on dental status obese normal-weight children. Methods used conduct The study included 78 healthy children 100 diagnosed with obesity (5 - 16 years old). Anthropometric measurements were evaluated. DMFT/dmft index teeth was determined, using standards methods recommended by world health organization. Blood samples collected from all...

Aim of study: To characterize and compare the genetic resources gain some insights into evolutionary history Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) Brutia brutia Ten.) species which are both distributed across more than 8 million hectares area in Mediterranean Basin. Study area: Fifty-six populations from eight basin countries where P. located. Materials methods: We analyzed 1344 seeds belonging to 56 using five cpSSR primers (Pt15169, Pt30204, Pt41093, Pt87268, Pt110048). Main results: The...

Purpose: To compare the results of Maximum Sprint Speed(MSS), Aerobic Speed (MAS), Anaerobic Reserve(ASR) and VO2max according to positions players.Methods: This study 5.34±1.44 years sports history in football branch, average age is 20.47±1.49 years, height 1.76±0.04 m, weight 74.41±45.59 kg, was conducted with a total 91 volunteer male athletes. The consisted 2 sessions, 48 hours apart. In first session, 10 m speed test applied, second Yo Yo-1 applied. speed, Maximal Speed, Reserve were...

The value and importance of indigenous knowledge are now being increasingly acknowledged all over the world.For this reason, aims study is not only to identify medicinal plants used for Therapeutic Turkish Baths by local people various areas in Turkey, but also draw attention traditional that danger lost.In study, a total 105 from twenty-one provinces (N=5) were interviewed.Information was gathered through scientifically guided questionnaires, interviews general conversations fidelity level...

Aim of the study: DNA and RNA extraction are still one most important challenging steps many molecular genetics applications such as Next-Generation Sequencing technologies. In this study, traditional laboratory preparation protocols commercially available nucleic acids kits’ features were combined into a procedure suitable for either or in 96-well plate format at high throughput.Area The study covers forest tree species from United States America.Materials methods: protocol tested on 27...
