Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Exploration of Three Solanum Species for Improvement of Antioxidant Traits in Tomato(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2014) Top, Oğuz; Bar, Cantuğ; Ökmen, Bilal; Yüce Özer, Duygu; Rusçuklu, Dane; Tamer, Nilüfer; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiWild tomato species have been widely used for improvement of tomato disease resistance but have not been extensively explored for health-related traits. In this work, three interspecific populations derived from backcrosses between cultivated tomato and Solanum pimpinellifolium (LA1589), S. habrochaites (LA1223), and S. peruvianum (LA2172) were analyzed for water-soluble antioxidant activity, phenolic content, vitamin C content, and basic agronomic traits including fruit weight, shape, and color. The wild species accessions significantly exceeded S. lycopersicum for all three antioxidant traits with only one exception: vitamin C content in S. habrochaites LA1223. Several populations and traits showed transgressive segregation indicating that the backcross populations contained individuals with allele combinations that allowed antioxidant activity/content to exceed that of both parents. The S. habrochaites LA1223 population provided the best starting material for improvement of water-soluble antioxidant activity and phenolics content with 20% and 15% of the population, respectively, significantly exceeding the parental values for these traits. Moreover, the S. habrochaites population contained individuals that had nearly 2-fold more water-soluble antioxidant activity and phenolic content than cultivated tomato. The S. peruvianum LA2172 population was best for improvement of vitamin C content with 3-fold variation for the trait and individuals, which had twice as much vitamin C as cultivated tomato.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 23Water-Soluble Antioxidant Potential of Turkish Pepper Cultivars(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2008) Frary, Anne; Keçeli, Mehmet Ali; Ökmen, Bilal; Şığva, Hasan Özgür; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Doğanlar, SamiIn this work, 29 pepper cultivars that represent the diversity of types and varieties grown in Turkey were analyzed for water-soluble antioxidant capacity and phenolic and vitamin C contents. In addition, 14 non-Turkish cultivars were tested for comparison. Significant diversity was observed in the different cultivars with the most variation (7.4-fold) seen for total antioxidant capacity, which ranged from 2.57 to 18.96 mmol Trolox/kg. Vitamin C content for the peppers ranged from 522 to 1631 mg·kg-1, a 3.1-fold difference, whereas total phenolic content for the pepper cultivars ranged from 607 to 2724 mg·kg-1, a 4.5-fold difference. When cultivars were grouped by morphology/ use, it was found that some types had significantly more variation and higher antioxidant activities than other types. Thus, for water-soluble antioxidant capacity, most variation was seen in long, blunt-ended Çarliston types, whereas long, pointed Sivri peppers had the highest mean capacity. Bell-shaped Dolmalik and Sivri peppers had the most variation for phenolic content, but fancy Süs and Sivri types had the highest means for this trait. Dolmalik types showed the most variation for vitamin C content, whereas Süs and Sivri peppers had the highest means for this character. All three parameters were significantly and positively correlated with the strongest correlation between total antioxidant capacity and phenolic content (r = 0.71). The presence of significant variation for antioxidant content in Turkish germplasm indicates that this material can be used for improvement and genetic mapping of nutritional content in pepper.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Quantitative Trait Loci (qtl) Analysis for Antioxidant and Agronomically Important Traits in Tomato (lycopersicon Esculentum)(Türkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011) Ökmen, Bilal; Şığva, Hasan Özgür; Gürbüz, Nergiz; Ülger, Mehmet; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiTomato is one of the most widely produced and consumed vegetable crops worldwide. Plant breeders have usually focused on improvement of horticulturally important traits such as yield, fruit size, shape and colour. With increased attention on human health, however, plant breeders also consider the improvement of health-related traits of fruits and vegetables such as antioxidant characters. In the present study, genes controlling both health-related and horticulturally important traits were mapped in the tomato genome using 152 Lycopersicon hirsutum BC2F2 individuals. For this aim, all plants were phenotypically and genotypically characterised and a total of 75 QTLs were identified for all traits. Of the 75 QTLs, 28 were identified for 5 antioxidant traits including total water soluble antioxidant capacity, vitamin C, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and lycopene contents, and 47 QTLs were identified for 8 agronomic traits including fruit weight, external and internal fruit colour, fruit firmness, fruit shape, stem scar size, locule number, and wall thickness. Markers linked with these QTLs can be used in marker assisted selection (MAS) for improvement of elite tomato lines. © TÜBİTAK.Article Citation - WoS: 86Citation - Scopus: 102Total Antioxidant Activity and Total Phenolic Contents in Different Turkish Eggplant (solanum Melongena L.) Cultivars(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Ökmen, Bilal; Şığva, Hasan Özgür; Mutlu, Sevgi; Doğanlar, Sami; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Frary, AnneIn this study, total water soluble antioxidant activity and phenolic content of 26 eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars were investigated. Total water soluble antioxidant activity of the cultivars varied from 2664 to 8247 molTrolox/kg, which is a 3.1-fold difference. Cultivars also showed significant variation for total phenolic contents ranging from 615 to 1376 mg/kg, a 2.2-fold difference. The two traits were significantly correlated and results of this study suggested that breeders can use the information to develop eggplant cultivars with high antioxidant activity.Article Citation - WoS: 111Citation - Scopus: 124Salt Tolerance in Solanum Pennellii: Antioxidant Response and Related Qtl(BioMed Central Ltd., 2010) Frary, Anne; Göl, Deniz; Keleş, Davut; Ökmen, Bilal; Pınar, Hasan; Şığva, Hasan Özgür; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Doğanlar, SamiBackground: Excessive soil salinity is an important problem for agriculture, however, salt tolerance is a complex trait that is not easily bred into plants. Exposure of cultivated tomato to salt stress has been reported to result in increased antioxidant content and activity. Salt tolerance of the related wild species, Solanum pennellii, has also been associated with similar changes in antioxidants. In this work, S. lycopersicum M82, S. pennellii LA716 and a S. pennellii introgression line (IL) population were evaluated for growth and their levels of antioxidant activity (total water-soluble antioxidant activity), major antioxidant compounds (phenolic and flavonoid contents) and antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and peroxidase) under both control and salt stress (150 mM NaCl) conditions. These data were then used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for controlling the antioxidant parameters under both stress and nonstress conditions.Results: Under control conditions, cultivated tomato had higher levels of all antioxidants (except superoxide dismutase) than S. pennellii. However, under salt stress, the wild species showed greater induction of all antioxidants except peroxidase. The ILs showed diverse responses to salinity and proved very useful for the identification of QTL. Thus, 125 loci for antioxidant content under control and salt conditions were detected. Eleven of the total antioxidant activity and phenolic content QTL matched loci identified in an independent study using the same population, thereby reinforcing the validity of the loci. In addition, the growth responses of the ILs were evaluated to identify lines with favorable growth and antioxidant profiles.Conclusions: Plants have a complex antioxidant response when placed under salt stress. Some loci control antioxidant content under all conditions while others are responsible for antioxidant content only under saline or nonsaline conditions. The localization of QTL for these traits and the identification of lines with specific antioxidant and growth responses may be useful for breeding potentially salt tolerant tomato cultivars having higher antioxidant levels under nonstress and salt stress conditions.Master Thesis Quatitative Trait Loci Analysis(qtl) of Fruit Characteristics in Tomato(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Ökmen, Bilal; Doğanlar, SamiTomato has a crucial part in the human diet. Therefore, many plant breeders have tried to improve horticulturally important traits such as yield, fruit size, shape and color. With increased attention on human health, plant breeders also consider the improvement of health-related traits of fruits and vegetables such as antioxidant characters. However, because most plant traits are controlled by more than one gene, improvement of crops that possess the desired traits is very difficult.Development of molecular marker techniques makes these processes feasible for plant breeders. In this study both health-related and horticulturally important traits were characterized for identificaton of their locations in the tomato genome using 152 Lycopersicon hirsutum BC2F2 mapping individuals. For this aim, all plants were phenotypically and genotypically characterized. It was expected that some alleles from the wild species L.hirsutum had the capacity for improvement of both antioxidant and agronomically important traits of elite lines.A total of 75 QTLs were identified for all traits. Of the 75 QTLs, 28 were identified for five antioxidant traits including total water soluble antioxidant capacity, vitamin C, phenolic, flavonoids and lycopene content and 47 QTLs were identified for 8 agronomic traits including external and internal fruit color, fruit weight, firmness, fruit shape, stem scar size, locule number and wall thickness. Seventeen of these QTLs were also identified by previous studies. Markers linked with these QTLs can be used in Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) for improvement of elite tomato lines.
