Master Thesis Characterization of World Spinach Genetic Collection by Using Molecular Markers(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Göktay, Mehmet; Frary, AnneSpinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) belongs to the Amaranthaceae family and is a popular and nutritious vegetable. It is believed that this green leafy plant originated from Persia which is now modern Iran and neighboring countries. In this study we screened 176 spinach world collection germplasm accessions with 15 known SSR markers. The markers produced 58 bands with 57 identified as polymorphic. PIC values of the markers ranged between 0.01 and 0.44. Average PIC value was 0.28. Based on allele analysis with Darwin5 and STRUCTURE tools, 176 individual were clustered into three groups. The first cluster mostly consisted of accessions from Europe and USA and contained 69 samples. The second cluster mostly consisted of lines from Asia and neighboring countries and contained 89 samples. The third cluster did not represent any characteristic according to geographic region, thus it was called an intermixed cluster which contained 18 samples. The maximum genetic dissimilarity of spinach accessions was 0.551 and minimum was 0.019. Average genetic dissimilarity was 0.217. Moreover we sequenced S. oleracea L. cv. Universal nuclear genome via IIIumina MiSeq technology and genome assembly was performed to develop new spinach–specific SSR markers. As a result, 3853 SSRs were identified in the assembled genome and we successfully designed 3275 primer pairs for these identified SSR motifs. These newly developed SSR markers will be helpful to scientists who are interested in spinach genome diversity and breeding.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Transcriptomic Analysis of Boron Hyperaccumulation Mechanisms in Puccinellia Distans(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Öztürk, Saniye Elvan; Göktay, Mehmet; Has, Canan; Babaoğlu, Mehmet; Allmer, Jens; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnnePuccinellia distans, common alkali grass, is found throughout the world and can survive in soils with boron concentrations that are lethal for other plant species. Indeed, P. distans accumulates very high levels of this element. Despite these interesting features, very little research has been performed to elucidate the boron tolerance mechanism in this species. In this study, P. distans samples were treated for three weeks with normal (0.5 mg L−1) and elevated (500 mg L−1) boron levels in hydroponic solution. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from shoot tissue were analyzed by RNA sequencing to identify genes up and down-regulated under boron stress. In this way, 3312 differentially expressed transcripts were detected, 67.7% of which were up-regulated and 32.3% of which were down-regulated in boron-treated plants. To partially confirm the RNA sequencing results, 32 randomly selected transcripts were analyzed for their expression levels in boron-treated plants. The results agreed with the expected direction of change (up or down-regulation). A total of 1652 transcripts had homologs in A. thaliana and/or O. sativa and mapped to 1107 different proteins. Functional annotation of these proteins indicated that the boron tolerance and hyperaccumulation mechanisms of P. distans involve many transcriptomic changes including: alterations in the malate pathway, changes in cell wall components that may allow sequestration of excess boron without toxic effects, and increased expression of at least one putative boron transporter and two putative aquaporins. Elucidation of the boron accumulation mechanism is important in developing approaches for bioremediation of boron contaminated soils.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 24Newly Developed Ssr Markers Reveal Genetic Diversity and Geographical Clustering in Spinach (spinacia Oleracea)(Springer Verlag, 2017) Göl, Şurhan; Göktay, Mehmet; Allmer, Jens; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneSpinach is a popular leafy green vegetable due to its nutritional composition. It contains high concentrations of vitamins A, E, C, and K, and folic acid. Development of genetic markers for spinach is important for diversity and breeding studies. In this work, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology was used to develop genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. After cleaning and contig assembly, the sequence encompassed 2.5% of the 980 Mb spinach genome. The contigs were mined for SSRs. A total of 3852 SSRs were detected. Of these, 100 primer pairs were tested and 85% were found to yield clear, reproducible amplicons. These 85 markers were then applied to 48 spinach accessions from worldwide origins, resulting in 389 alleles with 89% polymorphism. The average gene diversity (GD) value of the markers (based on a GD calculation that ranges from 0 to 0.5) was 0.25. Our results demonstrated that the newly developed SSR markers are suitable for assessing genetic diversity and population structure of spinach germplasm. The markers also revealed clustering of the accessions based on geographical origin with clear separation of Far Eastern accessions which had the overall highest genetic diversity when compared with accessions from Persia, Turkey, Europe, and the USA. Thus, the SSR markers have good potential to provide valuable information for spinach breeding and germplasm management. Also they will be helpful for genome mapping and core collection establishment.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Development of Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Markers in Faba Bean by Next-Generation Sequencing(Springer Verlag, 2017) Abuzayed, Mazen A.; Göktay, Mehmet; Allmer, Jens; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneFaba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important food legume crop with a huge genome. Development of genetic markers for faba bean is important to study diversity and for molecular breeding. In this study, we used Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology for the development of genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 14,027,500 sequence reads were obtained comprising 4,208 Mb. From these reads, 56,063 contigs were assembled (16,367 Mb) and 2138 SSRs were identified. Mono and dinucleotides were the most abundant, accounting for 57.5 % and 20.9 % of all SSR repeats, respectively. A total of 430 primer pairs were designed from contigs larger than 350 nucleotides and 50 primers pairs were tested for validation of SSR locus amplification. Nearly all (96 %) of the markers were found to produce clear amplicons and to be reproducible. Thirty-nine SSR markers were then applied to 46 faba bean accessions from worldwide origins, resulting in 161 alleles with 87.5 % polymorphism, and an average of 4.1 alleles per marker. Gene diversity (GD) of the markers ranged from 0 to 0.48 with an average of 0.27. Testing of the markers showed that they were useful in determining genetic relationships and population structure in faba bean accessions.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Development of Simple Sequence Repeat Markers in Hazelnut (corylus Avellana L.) by Next-Generation Sequencing and Discrimination of Turkish Hazelnut Cultivars(Springer, 2018) Özturk, Süleyman Can; Göktay, Mehmet; Doğanlar, Sami; Allmer, Jens; Frary, AnneEuropean hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is a diploid tree species and is widely used in confections. Hazelnuts are, to a large part, produced in Turkey with the cultivar "Tombul" widely grown in the Black Sea region. In this work, the "Tombul" genome was partially sequenced by next-generation sequencing technology yielding 29.2% (111.85 Mb) of the similar to 385 Mb (1C). This sequence information was used to develop genetic markers in order to enable differentiation of material before the long maturation process and to facilitate future breeding strategies. A total of 90,142 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified in the contigs giving a frequency of 1 SSR per 1240 nt in the assembly. Mononucleotides were the most abundant SSR marker type (60.9%) followed by di- and trinucleotides. Primer pairs were designed for 75,139 (83.3%) of the SSRs. Fifty SSR primers were applied to 47 hazelnut accessions from nine countries to test their effectiveness and polymorphism. The markers amplified an average of 3.2 fragments. The highest polymorphism information content value was for cavSSR11062 (0.97) and the lowest (0.04) was for cavSSR13386. Two markers were monomorphic: cavSSR12855 and cavSSR13267. Single-copy SSR primers were also assessed for their ability to discriminate 19 Turkish cultivars, and it was found that seven primer pairs (Cav4217, Cav14875, Cav14418, Cav2704, Cav12862, Cav3909, Cav1361) were sufficient for this task. Thus, this study developed new SSR markers for use in hazelnut breeding and genetic studies and also provide a method to distinguish and identify true-type Turkish cultivars.
