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 ErtuğrulPhysiological 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: 2Citation - Scopus: 9Germination Physiology and Autecology of Centaurea Kilaea Boiss. From Turkey(Penerbit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 2013) Eskin, B.; Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Altay, V.; Demir, G.; Serin, M.In this study germination requirements, plant-soil interactions and population biology of Centaurea kilaea was studied. The plant and soil samples were collected from Sofular Village (Sile District) and shore of Çatalca District (Istanbul) in Turkey by using standard methods. Methods like Scheibler, Wetdigestion, Kjeldahl and Olsen were employed for measurement of soil texture, structure and other physical and chemical characteristics (pH, total protein and electrical conductivity) using spectrophotometer, flame photometer, calcimeter and ICP. The results showed that ranges of different elements in the soil were 0.007-0.2% for N, 0.0007-0.001% for P, 0.001-0.01% for K, 0.0001-0.0002 % for Na. N, P, K and Na values in the plants were 2.17, 0.005, 0.1 and 0.006%, respectively. The data revealed that germination success of the seeds was influenced by the environmental factors such as pH, germination season and temperature.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Distribution of Some Elements in Veronica Scutellata L. From Bolu, Turkey: Soil-Plant Interactions(Penerbit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 2013) Özyiğit, İbrahim İlker; Doğan, İlhan; Demir, G.; Eskin, B.; Keskin, M.; Yalçın, İbrahim ErtuğrulVeronica scutellata L. occurs in moist and wet habitats, such as ponds, marshes and other wetlands. This study was conducted on this species to examine its mineral element uptake status in terms of interactions between soil and plant. Experimental materials were taken from the Southern coast of Black Sea at coordinates 40°36'N and 31°16'E at an altitude of 1400 m above sea level from Bolu - Turkey; using standard methods and plant (root, stem and leaf parts) and soil mineral element measurements (Al, B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni and Zn) were done. During the study, ICP-OES was employed for the measurement of mineral elements. It was observed that considerable amounts of B, Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Zn are accumulated by the plant.
