The present study was to determine the genotypic and environmental variability and stability in seed yield, oil content, oil yield, oleic and linoleic acid of 10 safflower lines derived from a cross ...of Dinçer 5-18-1 × Montola 2000 together with six cultivars under six environments at five locations. The effects of genotypes, environments and genotype × environment interactions were highly significant (P < 0.01) for seed yield and oil content. Averaged across all environments, the seed yield was lowest in the cultivar Olas (2 352 kg/ha), and highest in the line Bay-Er 5 (2 869 kg/ha). According to mean (xi) and regression coefficient (bi) values, the Bay-Er 16 was better adapted to unfavourable environmental conditions, whereas the Bay-Er 1, Bay-Er 5 and Bay-Er 14 were better adapted to favourable environmental conditions. The highest oil content across environments, over 35%, was recorded in the line Bay-Er 15 and the cultivars Olas and Linas. The best adaptability to the environments was observed in the cultivar Olas. The oleic acid content of genotypes increased and the linoleic acid contents decreased from the north to the south latitudes. The oil content of genotypes grown in Southeastern Anatolia was higher than in the other regions. Within the regions, seed yield and oil content was higher after autumn sowing than after spring sowing.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of autumn and spring sowing and row spacings (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60
cm) on yield, yield components and crude oil percentage of mustard (Sinapis ...arvensis L.) at eight locations lying in
different ecological zones (Ankara, Aydın, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Isparta, Şanlıurfa, Tekirdağ and Tokat) during 2013-14
and 2014-15 growing seasons. The experiment was designed according to the “Split Plots on Randomized Complete
Block” with four replications. Autumn and spring sowing were main plots, row spacings were sub-plots in each location.
The results showed that, autumn and spring sowing and row spacing significantly affected yield, yield components and
crude oil yield across locations. In general, increasing row spacing reduced seed yield and crude oil percentage. The
plants from autumn sowing increased crude oil yield compared to the plants from spring sowing. The maximum seed
yield and crude oil yield (2525.5 and 695.3 kg ha-1, respectively) was obtained from Tokat during autumn sowing at
50 cm row spacing. It was determined that autumn sowing was more suitable for Aydın, Tekirdağ, Tokat and Şanlıurfa
locations. Autumn sowing could also be possible at Ankara, Eskişehir and Isparta locations if plants enter to winter at the
right time (8-10 leaves rosette stage). Agronomic performances of mustard at Erzurum was not promising. For autumn
and spring sowing, the most suitable row spacing must be 20-30 cm in Ankara, Aydın, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Isparta,
Tekirdağ and Şanlıurfa; 50 cm in Tokat in autumn sowing.
Mustard is grown in mild winter regions as late fall and in hard winter regions as late spring crop. Mustard has high
degree of adaptability under wide range of climatic conditions in Turkey. ...Temperature is an important weather parameter
affecting the growth and development of the mustard. The sum growing degree day (GDD) for a growing season is
related to plant development which is depends on the accumulation of heat. The aim of this study was to determine the
adaptation of mustard, under sowing seasons (spring and fall sowing) and locations in terms of crop growth (emergence,
50% flowering, physiological maturity, and sum growing degree days) and seed yield of mustard. Two-year field
experiments in a split-plot design with four replications were carried out during 2013-14 and 2014-15 growing seasons
at eight different ecological locations. These locations included Ankara, Aydın, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Isparta, Tekirdağ,
Tokat and Şanlıurfa provinces of Turkey-as classified by Köppen-Geiger ecological conditions. The Brassica juncea
L. (mustard seeds) were collected from wild conditions in the Konya province of Turkey. The results showed that,
sowing seasons and locations significantly affected seed yield and GDD. The maximum seed yield of 3754.9 kg ha-1
was obtained from Tokat (warm humid) during fall sowing with total accumulated GDD of 1512.1 °C for mustard. Sum
growing degree-days accumulated in different sowing seasons and locations occurred between 1132.0 °C and 2285.1 °C
depending on the related ecological conditions. Fall season crop in Aydın location had the maximum growing degree
days. Overall, fall season accumulated more growing degree days due to longer period of sunshine in comparison to
spring season with less sunshine days resulting in longer vegetation period.
Horticulture is a discipline mainly concerned with the cultivation of plant material for food supply, medicinal use, or functional and aesthetic purposes by humans, they are a genetically diverse ...group and play an important role in the economy of modern society, as well as at the center of the healthy diet of the urban population. In this respect, Rosa L. are important plants for traditional pharmacological practices and landscape studies. In this context, within the scope of the research, some morphological, pomological, physiological, and mineral contents of important taxa such as Rosa alba L.‘Semiplena’, R. banksiae R.Br. cv ‘Alba’, R. canina L.’Yildiz’, R. centifolia L., R. chinensis Jacq. ‘Old Blush’, R. foetida Herrm., R. heckeliana Tratt. subsp. vanheurckiana (Boiss. Ö. Nilsson), R. hemispharica J.Herrm., R. x odorata (hort ex. Andrews) Sweet ‘Louis XVI’, R. pisiformis (Christ) Sosn., R. x damascena Mill., and R. x damascena Herrm. ‘Semperflorens’(Loisel. & Michel) Rowley for landscape design and horticulture were determined. Within the scope of the research, the morphological, physiological, and pomological characteristics and nutrient contents of taxa adapted to semi-arid conditions and different Rosa taxa spreading in Anatolia were determined. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis were also used to determine the similarities and differences of these parameters measured in different Rosa L. taxa.
The correlation of agromorphological traits can be useful for breeders in the selection of plant genotypes. In this study, the rosette period (days), days of maturity, plant height (cm), 1000-seed ...weight (g), and seed yield (kg ha–1) characteristics of 42 different Camelina genotypes that grown in Ankara (middle Anatolia) and Şanlıurfa (southeastern Anatolia), and their correlations with each other, were investigated. The accessions showed different results depending on the location in terms of the studied characters in both locations under rainfed conditions. The results showed that the highest seed yield was obtained from the PI 311735 accession (3151.8 kg ha–1) in Ankara and the PI 650142 accession (3056.0 kg ha–1) in Şanlıurfa. While the rosette period (days), days of maturity, plant height (cm), and 1000-seed weight (g), in Ankara were between 152.3 and 132.3 days, 274 and 247 days, 103.8 and 59.5 cm, and 1.50 and 0.84 g, while there were between 108.8 and 88.8 days, 202.1 and 180.1 days, 115.4 and 59.2 cm, and 1.40 and 0.50 g, in Şanlıurfa, respectively. Results showed significant differences among the genotypes in all of the studied parameters. Correlation analysis of the genotypes in both locations on the mentioned parameters was also performed. Since climate and environment affect each agromorphological parameter differently, it was observed that a genotypic correlation independent of the climate and environment could not be explained in the Camelina sativa genotypes.
Camelina sativa L. Crantz., which draws attention with its non-food use (biodiesel, animal feed etc.) against the increasing demand for oilseeds worldwide, is a good alternative plant. It is ...important to identify suitable and stable genotypes for regions along with high protein and oil content. The purpose of this study, camelina genotypes of Turkey in 3 different locations (Ankara, Ankara, Eskisehir) to investigate the quality characteristics in terms of genotype environment interactions in unirrigated and unfertilized conditions. 36 different genotypes, purified lines by negative selection, were analysed with 3 standard genotypes with augmented trial design. Environmental (E), genotype (G) and G × E interactions, which are sources of variation for protein and oil content, have been shown to be important. Oil and protein content were found ranged from 34.35%-37.88% and 25.76%-27.64% respectively. We have obtained important findings in our study to see the performance of Camelina sativa, and the possibility of alternative oil plants for these regions. İn terms of correlation of protein ratio and oil ratio, genotypes with high value that were least affected by each other were determined. The results showed that genotype selection by regions is important in terms of protein and oil ratio.
Üstyol A, Takahashi S, Hatipoğlu HU, Duman MA, Elevli M, Selçuk Duru HN. A novel mutation in SLC2A1 gene causing GLUT-1 deficiency syndrome in a young adult patient. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 946-948. ...GLUT-1 deficiency syndrome is a rare, frequently unrecognized metabolic encephalopathy that is probably underdiagnosed. Although developmental delay, acquired microcephaly, spasticity, and impaired coordination were initially described as the classic findings, mild cases with no pronounced neuromotor compromise have since been included in the broad clinical spectrum with new mutations being identified more recently. We report a case of myoclonic seizures not responding to anti-epileptics since the age of one year in a 17-year-old patient with a normal phenotype and neuromotor development. Previously unreported p.Phe389Leu mutation was determined in the SLC2A1 gene in our patient. This case will be useful in clarifying the phenotype of GLUT-1 deficiency and reveals a new pathogenic mutation.
The aim of this study is to determine the landscape use opportunities of natural plants of wetland habitats (river, stream, rill, moist meadows, etc.) within Şanlıurfa province. In this study, 58 ...plants were determined from wetland habitats that can be evaluated in terms of landscape use. The characteristics of these plants for their landscape use (life form, structure, flowering period, flower color, landscape value, color, and scent effect) were determined. The obtained data were evaluated using PAST 4.03 data analysis software and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In addition, cluster analysis was performed to examine the distribution of these plants according to the determined landscape use parameters. With the classification practices, plants were defined in 4 different groups, and it was observed that the parameters were effective in the classification of the species. It was concluded that PC1 and PC2 heavily determined the grouping with parameters such as life form, flowering period, color effect and flower color.

•The seropositivity for SARS-CoV-2 is found to be 6.1% among healthcare personnel•Most of them were healthy young adults•Surveillance for healthcare personnel should involve routine nucleic acid ...testing•Monitoring personal protective equipment adherence is vital for COVID-19 protection
Understanding SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among health care personnel is important to explore risk factors for transmission, develop elimination strategies and form a view on the necessity and frequency of surveillance in the future.
We enrolled 4927 health care personnel working in pediatric units at 32 hospitals from 7 different regions of Turkey in a study to determine SARS Co-V-2 seroprevalence after the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A point of care serologic lateral flow rapid test kit for immunoglobulin (Ig)M/IgG was used. Seroprevalence and its association with demographic characteristics and possible risk factors were analyzed.
SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity prevalence in health care personnel tested was 6.1%. Seropositivity was more common among those who did not universally wear protective masks (10.6% vs 6.1%). Having a COVID-19-positive co-worker increased the likelihood of infection. The least and the most experienced personnel were more likely to be infected. Most of the seropositive health care personnel (68.0%) did not suspect that they had previously had COVID-19.
Health surveillance for health care personnel involving routine point-of-care nucleic acid testing and monitoring personal protective equipment adherence are suggested as important strategies to protect health care personnel from COVID-19 and reduce nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
