Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyUncontrolled and unplanned urbanization and industrialization due to increase of population and rapid industrial development have created severe environmental problems in Kyrgyzstan during the last few decades. In this study, Juniperus virginiana, a dioecious species, was employed in order to make assessment of the heavy metal pollution rate in the area and of the heavy metal pollution impact on the mineral nutrient status of the plant. For this study, leaf (washed and unwashed) and bark samples of J. virginiana, and its co-located soil samples were collected from eight different stations, all in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, in 2012 vegetation period. The standard procedures were used and the determinations of heavy metal and nutrient element contents (Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb and Zn) in all samples were done using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. According to our measurements, J. virginiana was found to be capable of accumulating a considerable amount of metals and the mineral nutrient uptake pattern was altered because of metal deposition in the plant, which showed a contamination risk in the area.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 3Determining Element Accumulations in Turkish Red Pine Used as a Bioindicator for Estimating of Existing Pollution on Both Sides of Bosphorus in İstanbul(Parlar Scientific Publications, 2020) Yalçın, İbrahim Ertuğrul; Doğan, İlhan; Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Demir, Göksel; Yarcı, Celal; 04.03.

Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPinus brutia Ten. (Turkish red pine) is a widespread evergreen tree in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions of Turkey. In this study, leaf (washed and unwashed) and bark samples of Turkish red pine and its co-located soil samples were examined for the assessment of the impact of heavy metal pollution on mineral nutrient status of the plant. The samples were collected from 5 different localities; 4 from the Bosporus region and one from Prince Island (control) in 2012 vegetation period. The standard procedures were used and the determinations of heavy metals and nutrient elements (Al, B, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn) in all samples were done using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Additionally, PM2.5 and PM10 profiles of the study area were investigated. According to our measurements, the lowest and highest heavy metal accumulations and the amount of mineral nutrients (mg/kg d. wt) were varied between 28.420-115.809 and 4191.285-5776.910 for Al, 1.308-11.432 and 9.318-15.803 for B, 1604.497-9312.622 and 2457.361-4817.899 for Ca, 0.307-1.587 and 0.803-1.890 for Cd, 0.064-0.579 and 3.860-6.731 for Co, 0.853-5.445 and 12.472-22.761 for Cr, 2.063-11.292 and 8.304-24.193 for Cu, 158.090-242.056 and 4733.993-5727.813 for Fe, 88.021-4312.240 and 1231.649-1931.372 for K, 98.325-850.764 and 2668.299-4489.028 for Mg, 3.752-9.764 and 143.698-278.108 for Mn, 45.716-1315.764 and 91.225-116.795 for Na, 0.889-7.746 and 7.437-15.750 for Ni, 3.917-14.341 and 31.122-71.762 for Pb and 10.268-35.844 and 43.746-122.258 for Zn in the plant parts and soil samples, respectively. The mass concentrations of fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10) mode aerosols varied from 11 to 27 and 37 to 68 mu g/m(3) at study area, respectively. The data revealed that P. brutia is capable of accumulating considerable amounts of metals and mineral nutrient uptake pattern was not altered extensively because of metal deposition in the plant showing relatively less contamination risk in the area. Finally, it was proven that P. brutia is a suitable organism to be used as a biomonitoring tool for conducting research on heavy metal pollution.Article Evaluation of Aluminum Stress Induced Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities in Roman Nettle(Parlar Scientific Publications, 2019) Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Doğan, İlhan; Yalçın, İbrahim Ertuğrul; Severoğlu, Zeki; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this current work, Roman nettle (Urtica pilulifera L.), a traditional medicinal plant that is very common and widespread species throughout Asia, Europe, and Northern Africa, was used as a model plant to investigate changes in antimicrobial activity following the application of aluminum stress. U pilulifera seedlings were grown in growth-room conditions and 0, 100, and 200 M AlCl3 were applied to the plants together with Hoagland solution (20 ml) for two months. The antimicrobial activities were tested against nine strains of bacteria (Salmonella sp., Staphyllococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, E. coli O157:H7 and Bacillus cereus) and fungus (Penicillum sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida tropicans and C. albicans) by using the disc diffusion and agar well methods. The accumulated Al was measured by using ICP-OES in the leaves of studied plant samples. Additionally, a control group (water + 11.31 mg l(-1) Al) was prepared and applied to selected bacteria and fungi in order to understand the reason for obtained antimicrobial activities of Roman nettle is whether because of the compounds isolated from nettle leaves exposed to Al stress, or Al itself accumulated in leaves. The data proved that inhibitory antimicrobial effects were altered in U pilulifera upon the application of Al stress, especially on fungi species.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Mineral Nutrient Acquisition by Cotton Cultivars Grown Under Salt Stress(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Demir, Göksel; Yalçın, İbrahim Ertuğrul; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPhysiological responses were investigated in two cotton cultivars grown at various concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) in order to determine the degree of the tolerance of the cultivars to salt stress and understand the physiological responses with respect to utilization of mineral nutrients. After germination of the seeds of cotton cultivars, they were transferred into standard pots with 210 g sterilized compost and watered with 30 ml Hoagland’s solution containing different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mM) of NaCl at two-day intervals for 3 months. Growth parameters were measured and the mineral nutrient analyses were done using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltman, MA). It was observed that plant growth and mineral nutritional status of both cultivars were altered extensively in those grown with NaCl. Excess NaCl reduces the concentrations of certain mineral nutrients and increases that of others, the patterns depending on the mineral nutrient and the plant part and varieties being compared to the control.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Mineral Element Uptake Status of Endemic Isoetes Anatolica Prada & Rolleri Populations From Bolu-Turkey(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2013) Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Eskin, Bülent; Keskin, Mustafa; Demir, Göksel; Yalçın, İbrahim Ertuğrul; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIsoetes genus is commonly known as the "quillworts" and considered to be "fern allies". There are about 200-250 species, with a cosmopolitan distribution but often scarce to rare. Isoetes genus members often grow in extremely sensitive aquatic environments such as temporary ponds, streams and lakes. They are therefore good indicators of environmental quality. Isoetes anatolica Prada & Rolleri is an endemic plant grows on calcareous sediment/soil on the edges of seasonal ponds located in a mountainous area near the southern coast of the Black Sea at 1400 m above sea level at Bolu, Turkey. In this study, mineral element uptake statuses of I. anatolica populations were studied on the background of plant-sediment/soil-water interactions. The study materials were collected from the place where this narrow endemic species only lives in the world (Abant Region, Bolu/Turkey) by using standard methods and plant and sediment/soil mineral element measurements (Al, B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni and Zn) were done. ICP-OES was employed for the measurements during the study. Interrelations between mineral element contents in the sediment/soil, water and plant were discussed. The data revealed that I. anatolica is capable of accumulating considerable amounts of certain mineral elements (B, Ca, Mn and Na).Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Distribution of Some Elements in Veronica Scutellata L.
