    The antimicrobial properties and antioxidant enzyme activities of field-grown and in vitro-propagated plants of Digitalis trojana Ivanina (Helen of Troy foxglove), a perennial endemic plant species of Turkey, were compared. The field work was carried out in May and July 2014, and plant samples of D. trojana were collected from Kazdagi (Turkey). Propagation of D. trojana was achieved by culturing leaf explants on MS medium supplemented with 13.3 mu M 6-benzyl-aminopurine (BA) and 0.53 mu M alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The antimicrobial activity, plant lipid peroxidation levels and antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR)) activities were analyzed in 12- and 17-week-old in vitro-grown Digitalis plants collected in May and July from two different localities at 430 and 1173 m above sea level. Although the in vitro-propagated plants had very low antagonistic activities compared to field-grown plants, they exhibited remarkably similar antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ATCC 11230, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. There were no important differences between plants collected from the two localities (430 and 1173 m a. s. l.). Biochemical analysis showed that the antioxidant enzyme (SOD, APX, GR) activities of field-grown plants were higher than in vitro-grown plants. Also, the difference in altitude at which the plants were grown was apparently linked to decreases in antioxidant enzyme activities, except for POX in field-grown plants collected in July.

    EVALUATION OF GENOTOXICITY AND CYTOTOXICITY OF DODINE (1-dodecylguanidium acetate) BY Allium TEST
    (Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2015) Corduk, Nursen; Akıncı, Nihan; Yücel, Gülru; Kaya, Nergis; Aki, Cüneyt
    In this study, we evaluated the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of dodine, a fungicide extensively used to control scab on apples, pears and pecans, brown rot on peaches and several foliar diseases of cherries, strawberries, peaches and black walnuts. For this purpose the Allium cepa test was carried out exposing roots to dodine for 24, 48 and 72 h at the concentrations of EC50/2, EC50 and 2xEC(50). The mitotic index was calculated as the number of dividing cells per number of 3000-4000 observed cells and the mitotic aberrations also were scored at each concentration. The results showed that dodine induced significant increases of mitotic aberrations such as C-mitosis, polar shifting, laggard chromosome and chromosome fragments. In addition, mitotic index decreased significantly with increasing of concentration and the exposure time as compared to their controls. Hence dodine should be used under control in agricultural fields due to its possible toxic effects.

    In vitro propagation of Silene bolanthoides Quezel, Contandr. & Pamukc. and assessment of genetic stability by flow cytometry
    (Inst Bioloska Istrazivanja Sinisa Stankovic, 2018) Corduk, Nursen; Yücel, Gülru; Akıncı, Nihan; Tuna, Metin; Esen, Onur
    Silene bolanthoides Quezel, Contandr. & Pamukc. is an endemic species from Kazdagi (Mt. Ida), Canakkale-Balikesir, Turkey. In order to develop an efficient shoot regeneration protocol, the leaf, nodal and internodal explants of S. bolanthoides were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing benzyladenine (BA) alone or in combination with alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The highest number of regenerated shoots (5.75 +/- 0.1) was obtained from nodal explants that were cultured on MS medium with 8.8 mu M BA+0.54 mu M NAA. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs). Rooted plants (2-3 cm) were separately transferred to pots containing a mixture of peat and perlite (3:1 v/v) and acclimatized successfully in a growth chamber. Genetic stability of the propagated plants was assessed by flow cytometry and cytological analysis. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that regenerated plants had 2.61 +/- 0.01 pg nuclear DNA (2C) and seed-derived plants had on average 2.58 +/- 0.02 pg/2C. Cytological analysis showed that the regenerated plants had the same chromosome number as seed-derived plants of S. bolanthoides (2n=24). It was determined that regenerated plants were uniform in chromosome number and had a similar DNA content to the seed-derived ones, indicating that the described efficient shoot regeneration protocol can be applied for ex situ conservation of this species.
