This experiment was carried out to determine the percentage of internal connection between rootstock and scion in graft union with nondestructive and noninvasive MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) method and to follow performance status according to internal connection ratios of the grafted rooted vines after planting to vineyard field. Research was established in a factorial randomized block design and carried out with cvs. Merlot and Syrah grafted onto 110?R rootstock and 4 different internal (MRI) connection levels in 3 replications. The percentages of grafted rooted vine internal determination by MRI by four sides (13.75%) in graft union were found to be very low than others at the pre-planting stage. An increase in the internal connection ratio in the majority of the grafted rooted vines was determined after the vegetative growth phase. Therefore, the internal connection ratios of the graft union of rooted vines of cvs. Merlot and Syrah varieties showed a tendency to increase during the second year of development. Again in both cultivars, loss rate of grafted rooted vines showed a decreasing tendency depending on increase of internal connection ratio of graft union. As a result, in case of decrease of MRI costs, it is thought that grafted rooted vine producers may have the opportunity to supply better quality seedlings to vine growers using MRI techniques.  相似文献   

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Aphanes arvensis Extracts     

İsmail Hamad  Özlem Erol-Dayi  Murat Pekmez  Evren Önay-Uçar  Nazlı Arda 《Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands)》2010,65(1):44-49

The objectives of this study were to examine the free radical scavenging activity and the protective effects against macromolecular oxidation as well as the cytotoxic activity of Aphanes arvensis aqueous and methanolic extracts. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by DPPH method. The methanolic extract showed a scavenging activity nearly equivalent to Trolox and Vitamin C and has an IC₅₀ value of 4.54 μg/mL. Total antioxidant capacity was determined by CUPRAC method. The antioxidant capacity of aqueous and methanolic extract was 0.792 and 1.550 mmol TE/g DWE, respectively. The protective effect of A. arvensis extracts against lipid peroxidation was evaluated using a liposome oxidation system. The methanolic extract was more active than the aqueous extract. The aqueous extract possessed protective effect against protein oxidation in a dose dependent manner. Both extracts showed inhibitory effect on DNA oxidation as measured by plasmid relaxation assay. Results presented here indicate that A. arvensis possess strong antioxidant activity and protective effects with very little cytotoxic effect, and they can therefore be used as a natural additive in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.  相似文献   

The chemical and sensorial changes in rainbow trout caviar salted in different ratios during storage     

Ayşe Gürel İnanli  Özlem Emir Coban  Mürşide Dartay 《Fisheries Science》2010,76(5):879-883

In this study, the intention was to investigate the chemical and sensorial changes occurring during cold storage (4 ± 1°C) of caviar obtained from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss W. 1792 that was dry salted in different ratios. Caviar has a higher fat and protein content than other seafood products, and in processing it with dry salting technology, it was determined that the shelf life could be up to 28 days for the experimental group in which salt was applied at a rate of 4% and up to 35 days for the experimental group in which salt was applied at a rate of 8%. Thus the storage period of the samples is longer for the products to which a high (8%) amount of salt was applied than the products to which a low (4%) amount of salt was applied in the salting process.  相似文献

Effect of an organic fertilizer on growth of blue-green alga Spirulina platensis     

?lknur Ak 《Aquaculture International》2012,20(3):413-422

In this study, the influence of an agricultural liquid organic fertilizer on growth and biomass composition of Spirulina platensis Geitler was studied. In the first trial, five concentrations of organic fertilizer were arranged, e.g., 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2?ml/l, in which no other extra nutrients except bicarbonate were used. Maximum dry weight, chlorophyll a and specific growth rate were achieved in control group. In the second trial, initial fertilizer levels of the three groups were 0.1?ml/l and all groups contained sodium bicarbonate. One of the groups had 2.5?g/l NaNO₃, while the other was supported with 0.1?ml/l fertilizer by two-day intervals to see the effect of nitrogen. In order to understand the effects of phosphate, 0.4?g K₂HPO₄ was added to the other group as well as 2.5?g NaNO₃. Between the experimental groups, the highest chlorophyll a value was found in control group as 53.97?mg/l. The chlorophyll value at group II (37.65?mg/l) was lower than the control group. The maximum dry weight and crude protein recorded in control group were 1,330?mg/l and 60.17%, respectively, when compared with 1,256?mg/l and 59.92% in group II. No significant differences were observed in crude protein values of Spirulina grown in control and group II (P?<?0.05). Consequently, it was seen that commercial liquid organic fertilizers may be replaced by Zarrouk??s medium except for nitrate, phosphate and bicarbonate in S. platensis cultures in order to decrease the production costs.  相似文献   

Cryopreservation of scaly carp (Cyprinus carpio) sperm: effect of different cryoprotectant concentrations on post-thaw motility, fertilization and hatching success of embryos     

İlker Yavaş  Yusuf Bozkurt  Cengiz Yıldız 《Aquaculture International》2014,22(1):141-148

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of various cryoprotectants on post-thaw sperm quality and fertilizing capacity of cryopreserved scaly carp (Cyprinus carpio) semen. The present study focused on freezing of scaly carp sperm utilizing a practical and inexpensive protocol for aquaculture. Semen was diluted with Kurokura’s extender composing 3.6 g/l NaCl, 10 g/l KCl, 0.22 g/l CaCl₂, 0.08 g/l MgCl₂ and 0.2 g/l NaHCO₃. The extender contained three different cryoprotectants (DMSO, DMA and egg yolk) at ratios of 5, 10 and 15 %. Semen was placed into 0.25-ml straws and exposed to liquid nitrogen vapor (?120 °C) using an insulated box with an adjustable tray for 10 min and then plunged into liquid nitrogen (?196 °C) tank. The thawing process was performed in a water bath at 40 °C for 10 s. The results indicated that type of cryoprotectants and their concentrations are rather effective in scaly carp sperm cryopreservation on post-thaw sperm quality, while they are very important in order to obtain high fertilization rates. The highest fertilization rate was determined as 96.4 ± 0.15 % with 15 % egg yolk, while the highest hatching rate was determined as 99.3 ± 0.80 with 15 % DMA. In conclusion, the applied cryopreservation method for scaly carp sperm is suitable to fertilize high amounts of eggs.  相似文献   

Effects of vermicomposts obtained from rose oil processing wastes,dairy manure,municipal open market wastes and straw on plant growth,mineral nutrition,and nutrient uptake of corn     

İbrahim Erdal  Kamil Ekinci 《Journal of plant nutrition》2017,40(15):2200-2208

Study aims to investigate the effects of vermicomposts containing oil processing wastes, dairy manure, municipal open market wastes and straw on the growth, nutrient concentrations and nutrient uptakes of corn plant. For this, there different mixtures were prepared. Vermicomposts were applied with the rates of 0, 5000, 10000, and 20000 kg ha^?1 to 2 kg soil containing pots. Study was conducted in growth chamber for 2 months. Vermicompost applications increased plant growth, some plant nutrient concentrations and uptake. Also, vermicomposts showed the variation on parameters depending on their mixtures. Results showed that nutrients taken by the plant increased with the vermicompost until 10000 kg ha^?1 dose. Most of the nutrient concentrations such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese (P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Mn) were not increased in plant tissues, whereas uptake of them by the plant showed a significant increase. In addition, residual soil nutrients increased with the increase in vermicompost levels.  相似文献   

Meat production traits of a new sheep breed called Bafra in Turkey 1. Fattening,slaughter, and carcass characteristics of lambs     

Yakan  Akın  Ünal  Necmettin 《Tropical animal health and production》2010,42(4):751-759

Meat quality characteristics of Bafra ram lambs slaughtered at different weights were investigated. A total of 24 lambs fattened intensively was slaughtered at four slaughter weights of 30, 35, 40, and 45 kg. Water-holding capacity, cooking loss, tenderness, color, as well as protein content did not vary significantly among the slaughter weight groups, although the 30-kg slaughter weight lambs displayed the greatest postmortem pH fall in musculus longissimus dorsi (P < 0.05). As slaughter weight increased, intramuscular fat of musculus longissimus dorsi showed an increasing nutritive value (P < 0.05), total unsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids ratio (P < 0.05), and n6/n3 ratio (P < 0.05). However, atherogenic index and thrombogenic index values decreased with increasing slaughter weight, although this effect was not significant. The effect of slaughter weight on total cholesterol was not pronounced.  相似文献   

Brooding temperatures for chicks acclimated to heat during incubation: effects on post-hatch intestinal development and body weight under heat stress     

M. Akşit  Ç. Yenisey  D. Özdemir 《British poultry science》2010,51(3):444-452

1.?The objective was to evaluate the effects of brooding temperature on intestinal development, oxidative organ damage, and performance of chicks acclimated to high temperature during incubation. The effects of acclimation and brooding temperatures on slaughter weights of broilers under heat stress were also investigated.

2.?Eggs were incubated at either 37?8°C (INC_Cont) or heat-acclimated at 39?5°C for 6 h daily from d 10 to d 18 of incubation (INC_H). Brooding temperatures at floor level were set at 32, 33?5 and 35°C (Bt₃₂, Bt_33?5, Bt₃₅, respectively) for the first 5 d. The temperature was reduced gradually to 30°C from d 6 to d 10. From 21 to 42 d, broilers from INC_Cont Bt₃₂ and INC_H Bt₃₂ and Bt₃₅ were divided into two groups; half from each group was exposed to daily cyclic higher ambient temperatures, while the other half was reared at control temperature.

3.?INC_H chicks had lower jejunum, but greater liver and residual yolk sac weights than INC_Cont chicks on the day of hatching. Although INC_H chicks from Bt_33?5 and Bt₃₅ had lighter body weights than Bt₃₂ on d 5, no significant differences were observed in the body weight of broilers among treatments at 10 and 21 d.

4.?Similar jejunum protein, alkaline phosphatase, maltase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde contents of chicks from INC_Cont and INC_H suggested that heat acclimation during incubation has no effect on jejunum enzyme activity or oxidative status of chicks.

5.?Taking into account INC_H Bt₃₅ chicks having lower T₃ levels on d 5, lower heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratios and similar weights at 42 d under heat stress compared with control broilers, the results suggested that although higher brooding temperatures had no effect on body weights of INC_H chicks during the brooding period, those broilers may able to cope better with heat stress.  相似文献   

Morphometric analysis of the mandible of Bardhoka autochthonous sheep in Kosovo     

Ermiş Özkan  Tefik Jashari  Ozan Gündemir  Nazan Gezer İnce 《Anatomia, histologia, embryologia》2020,49(6):737-741

Kosovo, one of the countries in the Balkan Peninsula, has a long tradition in sheep farming, and sheep breeds share triple purpose breed characteristics: milk, meat and wool. Bardhoka sheep, also with triple productive profile, is an important sheep breed because of its economic value with its milk production. In this study, 24 mandibles of adult Bardhoka sheep (12 male and 12 female) aged between 2 and 5 were used. The sheep were acquired from slaughterhouse around Kosovo, and the mandibles were selected without any deformities from healthy sheep. After cleaning the mandibles, a total of 12 morphometric measurements were taken from each sample using digital calliper. The difference between female and male was statistically significant (p < .05) for measurement 11 (height of mandible level of alveolar edge of 3rd molar tooth). The mean value of measurement 11 in male individuals was 42.26 ± 3.96, and it had a higher value than in female individuals (39.37 ± 2.57). In the literature, knowledge related to mandible morphometry of Bardhoka sheep was insufficient. The aim of this study was to determine mean values from osteometric measurements of Bardhoka sheep mandible and obtain references with the values acquired.  相似文献
