By adding these new records, the number ofBassus species in Turkey has been raısed from seven to 13. Distribution and known hosts are given.  相似文献   

Effect of temperature on development,mortality, fecundity and reproduction of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Tuberolachnus salignus</Emphasis> on weeping willow (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Salix babylonica</Emphasis>) and corkscrew willow (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Salix matsudana</Emphasis>)

The development time, survivorship and reproduction ofTuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [Lachninae, Lachnini] were studied onSalix babylonica (weeping willow) andSalix matsudana (corkscrew willow) at five constant temperatures (17.5, 20, 22.5, 25 and 27.5°C). The development time of immature stages ofT. salignus ranged from 14.56 days at 17.5°C to 12.50 days at 25°C onS. babylonica, and 16.47 days at 20°C to 12.28 days at 25°C onS. matsudana. The total survivorship of immature stages ofT. salignus varied from 28% to 85% at 22.5 and 17.5°C, respectively, onS. babylonica, and from 13% to 63%, respectively, at 17.5 and 25°C onS. matsudana. The greatest intrinsic rate of increase occurred at 25°C onS. babylonica (0.2691) and also onS. matsudana (0.2607). The mean generation time of the aphid population ranged from 14.15 days at 25°C to 16.24 days at 17.5°C onS. babylonica, and from 14.33°C days at 25°C to 19.86 days at 20°C onS. matsudana. The optimal temperature forS. babylonica growth, development time, reproduction and percent survival was 25°C.  相似文献   

Note: First record of the eucalyptus gall wasp<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ophelimus maskelli</Emphasis> and its parasitoid,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Closterocerus chamaeleon</Emphasis>, in Turkey     

M. Doğanlar  Z. Mendel 《Phytoparasitica》2007,35(4):333-335

The Eucalyptus gall waspOphelimus maskelli (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae: Ophelimini) and its introduced parasitoidClosterocerus chamaeleon (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae: Entedoninae) are recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean and Aegean Regions of Turkey. Some morphological characters of adult and larva ofO. maskelli and larva ofC. chamaeleon are described and illustrated. Distributions of the two wasps collected in Turkey are given. Results indicate that the biological control agent,C. chamaeleon, has spread over 1,300 km in the 16 months since its initial release.  相似文献   

AFLP analysis of genetic diversity in low chill requiring walnut (Juglans regia L.) genotypes from Hatay,Turkey     

S. Bayazit  K. Kazan  S. Gülbitti  V. Çevik  H. Ayanoğlu  A. Ergül 《Scientia Horticulturae》2007

In this study, the genetic relatedness of 22 low chill requiring walnut genotypes adapted to the south east Mediterranean region of Turkey was analysed by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Relatively low level of genetic variation was detected among the genotypes examined by five AFLP primer combinations, suggesting that these walnut genotypes selected predominantly for their low chill requirement have relatively narrow genetic base. In addition, the geographical proximity of the genotypes analysed was not correlated with their level of genetic relatedness. These results have implications for walnut breeding and conservation.  相似文献

Effects of varying nitrogen doses on yield,yield components and artemisinin content of Artemisia annua L.     

Menşure Özgüven  Bilge Şener  Ilkay Orhan  Nazım Şekeroğlu  Muzaffer Kirpik  Murat Kartal  Ipek Peşin  Zülküf Kaya 《Industrial Crops and Products》2008,27(1):60-64

Artemisia annua L. is an aromatic-antibacterial herb that destroys malarial parasites, lowers fevers and checks bleeding, and of which the secondary compound of interest is artemisinin. The objective of the present study was to determine yield, yield components and artemisinin content of A. annua L. grown under four nitrogen applications (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha⁻¹) in the Çukurova region of Turkey in 2004 and 2005. Field trials were conducted at Çukurova University, Agricultural Faculty Field Crops Department. In the study, plant height, number of branches, fresh herbage yield, dry herbage yield, fresh leaf yield, dry leaf yield, essential oil content and artemisinin content (by high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC) were examined. By analysis of variance, nitrogen doses had no any statistical effect on the traits investigated except for artemisinin content. Artemisinin content of the dried leaves were significantly affected by nitrogen applications, which varied from 6.32 to 27.50 mg 100 g⁻¹. Contents were from 120 and 80 kg ha⁻¹ nitrogen for the years of 2004 and 2005, respectively.  相似文献

A new monocyclic triterpene ester (1) was isolated from the rhizomes of Iris germanica from Turkey. Structure elucidation of compound (1) was carried out by the combined application of HMQC, HMBC, DEPT, COSY and NOESY experiments and named as iristectorone K.  相似文献   

Antibacterial activity of seed proteins of Robinia pseudoacacia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Talas-Oğraş T  Ipekçi Z  Bajroviç K  Gözükirmizi N 《Fitoterapia》2005,76(1):67-72

A low molecular weight cationic peptide was isolated from Robinia pseudoacacia seed and tested in vitro against seven bacteria (Corynebacterium michiganense, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, Pseudomonas syringae pv syringae, Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris, and Escherichia coli). The peptide inhibited the growth of the tested strains. The effective concentrations required for 50% inhibition of bacterial growth ranged between 20 and 120 microg ml(-1) protein. S. aureus was found to be the most sensitive strain, however, E. coli was not affected much when compared with others. Reduction of antibacterial activity of the peptide with CaCl2 addition into the growth medium was also observed.  相似文献   

Effects of different ecological and silvicultural factors on beetle catches in the Turkish fir (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Abies bornmülleriana</Emphasis> Mattf.) ecosystems     

Oktay Yıldız  Derya Eşen  Süleyman Akbulut 《Journal of pest science》2007,80(3):145-150

To study the bark beetle attacks on Turkish fir stands and to determine the principle site and stand factors influencing beetle attacks, trap log method was used in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. The study was carried out in ten different locations prior to flying time in February 2003. On each experimental plot, three healthy fir trees with 30–50 cm diameter and 200 m apart were cut down with a chainsaw. From each sampling tree, needles were sub-sampled for determination of specific leaf-area and macro-nutrient concentrations. In addition, on each experimental plot, crown closure, basal-area, and stand density were measured. To determine the bulk density and nutrient concentrations of the soil, samples were taken around trees on each plot. The relationship between measured stand variables, the number of beetle species and beetle populations were evaluated using correlation and stepwise multiple regression procedure. Eight different species belonging to four different families from Coleoptera were identified in examining the trap logs. Six of these eight species (Pissodes piceae Illig., Pissodes notatus Fabr., Cryphalus piceae Ratz., Pityophthorus pityographus Ratz., Xyloterus lineatus Oliv., Pityokteines curvidens Germ.) were identified as harmful beetles (HB). The other two (Thanasimus formicarius L. and Rhizophagus dispar Payk.) were identified as predator species. The analysis showed that the total number of HB increased as the site’s slope and needle specific leaf area increased. However, as needle N concentrations increased, HB population decreased. Increased Ca concentration in fir needle reduced total insect attack.  相似文献   

Callus formation and cucurbitacin B accumulation in Ecballium elaterium callus cultures     

Toker G  Memişoğlu M  Toker MC  Yeşilada E 《Fitoterapia》2003,74(7-8):618-623

Ecballium elaterium fruit juice is used for the treatment of sinusitis in Turkish folk medicine. The aim of this study was to increase the yield of cucurbitacin B, an anti-inflammatory compound previously isolated in various organs of E. elaterium, through tissue culture techniques. Higher yields of cucurbitacin B (1.126%) were obtained from the first subculture calluses from stem nodes in the presence of benzyl adenine (BA; 1 mg/l) and naphtalene acetic acid (NAA; 0.1 mg/l) in comparison with the yields obtained from plant material (0.01%).  相似文献
