- ArticleYalnız künye2022Chemical Composition and Antifungal Activities of the Essential Oils of Thymus Species (Thymus pectinatus, Thymus convolutus, Thymus vulgaris) Against Plant Pathogens
Aksit, Hüseyin; Bayar, Yusuf; Simsek, Samed; Ulutas, Yakup
The use of herbal extracts can be considered as an alternative method to minimize the effects of synthetic chemical pesticide used to control plant pathogens on human and environmental health. The essential oils (EOs) obtained from Thymus pectinatus (TP), Thymus convolutus (TC), and Thymus vulgaris (TV) by hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC/MS. The main components of TP, TC, and TV were thymol (52.2%), p-cymene (17.03%), eucalyptol (24.47%), camphor (16.84%), α-pinene (12.88%), and carvacrol (72.47%). The antifungal activity of EOs against plant pathogens including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp radicis-Iycopersici (FORL), Phytophthora infestans, and Rhizoctonia solani was evaluated by using the agar dilution method. The EOs of TV and TP inhibited mycelium growth 100 % in FORL P. infestans, and R. solani at 4 μL/petri dose. The EOs of TC did not affect mycelial growth of R. solani and R. infestans while the mycelial growth of FORL was inhibited by 36.11%. Our findings suggested the use of these essential oils can prevent fungal infections on plants as alternatives to synthetic ones.

Wheat is the second important cereal crop worldwide due to nutritional composition and role in meeting daily energy needs. Salinity is an abiotic stress factor that restricts crop productivity through influencing plant growth and development in arid and semi-arid regions. Nanomaterials and plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPBs) can be used in many different areas of agriculture for different purposes. In this study, changes in cytosine methylation and DNA damage levels in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exposed to salt stress (250 mM NaCl) were determined and possible preventive effects of copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (0, 50 and 100 mg/L; CuO-Nps > 100 nm) and plant growth promoting bacteria (no bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus casei, Bacillus pumilis; PGPBs) treatments were investigated. Changes in cytosine methylation were analyzed by Coupled Restriction Enzyme Digestion-iPBS (CRED-iPBS) and genotoxic influences and genomic stability was analyzed with the aid of inter-primer binding site (iPBS) primers. Application of 250 mM NaCl remarkably increased polymorphism rate of iPBS profile. Besides, relieve effect of PGPBs with CuO-NPs was observed against adverse effect of 250 mM NaCl stress. The genomic template stability values clearly increased with PGPBs with CuO-NPs treatments, particularly Lactobacillus casei with 100 mg/L of CuO-Nps. In addition, DNA hypo-methylation was observed in all treatments. As a conclusion, PGPBs with CuO-NPs treatments showed a strong anti-genotoxic effect against NaCl stress and they could be used as an alternative molecule to alleviate genetic impairment in wheat under NaCl stress.

Katipoğlu, Okan Mert; Acar, Resat
Yağışın tipi ve yapısı; yükseklik, yer şekilleri, bitki örtüsü, deniz akıntıları, denize yakınlık ve uzaklık gibi parametrelere göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu nedenle yağış verilerinin tek bir dağılım ile ifadesi oldukça zordur. Yapılan çalışmada yağış verilerine hidrolojide sıkça kullanılan Gamma, Lognormal, Genelleştirilmiş Ekstrem Değer (GED), Weibull, Normal, Lojistik, Loglojistik dağılımları uydurularak elde edilen Standartlaştırılmış Yağış İndeksi (SYİ) ve Gamma SYİ değerlerinin hesaplanması ve bu değerlere run teorisi uygulanarak elde edilen kuraklık karakteristiklerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yağış verilerine en iyi uyan olasılık yoğunluk fonksiyonunun belirlenmesinde Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S), Anderson-Darling (A-D) ve Ki-kare (χ2) testleri ve grafiksel metotlar kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, Fırat havzasındaki yağışları GED dağılımının, Gamma dağılımından daha iyi temsil ettiği ve hesaplanan SYİ değerlerinde ortalama %2 sapma meydana geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca havzada şiddetli ve uzun süreli kuraklıklar dikkat çekmektedir. Bu sebeple havzada kuraklık önlemlerinin alınması, kuraklık azaltma stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi ve sürekli bir şekilde uygulanması, su tasarrufunun sağlanması, kurak dönemlerde sigorta görevi gören yeraltı sularının korunması, sulama sistemlerinin modernleşmesi ve iklim değişikliğine karşı tedbirlerin alınması gerekmektedir.

In this study, ranking first in vegetable production in terms of cultivation area; the tomato, which has an important place with a share of 50% in terms of vegetable exports, in order to be applicable in 2020, producer and consumer prices and marketing margins in Turkey were examined using data from 2019. In the study, it was selected as the time series between 2003- 2019 and the production-consumption, foreign trade, price fluctuations and marketing margin of tomatoes were considered, taking into account the important production amount and yield parameters. In the study, real prices (2019= 100) were primarily calculated based on the current prices of tomatoes. In the second phase, marketing margins were calculated using the current and real prices of tomatoes. In the third phase, producer and consumer chain indexes are calculated based on current prices and compared with annual inflation rates. In the last phase of the study, the supply and demand models of tomatoes were estimated and interpreted statistically. From the comparisons and comments, it was concluded that the pepper producer real price, trend (time), cucumber producer real price, agricultural worker real price variables are effective for tomato supply and tomato consumer real price, national income, cucumber consumer real price and pepper consumer real price variables are effective for tomato demand. In addition, according to the supply and demand function of the tomato, supply elasticity was calculated as 0.041 and demand elasticity as 0.285. This supports the fact that consumers are more sensitive to tomato prices than producers.

Katipoğlu, Okan Mert; Acar, Resat
Drought is a natural disaster that adversely affects various sectors such as hydroelectric power generation, health, industry, tourism, economy, agriculture and animal husbandry. For this reason, monitoring, determining the spatio-temporal distribution, and managing drought risks by taking precautions are of great importance. In this study, it is aimed to map the spatio-temporal changes of various meteorological and hydrological droughts in the Euphrates Basin according to drought classes with Kriging, Radial Based Function (RBF) and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation methods and to evaluate the drought risk situation in the basin. For this, Standardized Precipitation Index, Statistical Z-Score Index, Precipitation Anomaly Index, Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, Reconnaissance Drought Index and Standardized Runoff Index values were used for 16 Meteorology Observation Stations and 18 stream-gauging stations in the Euphrates Basin. As a result of the analyses, it has been determined that the Kriging method is the most effective method in predicting meteorological droughts in the basin, and RBF is the most effective method in predicting hydrological droughts. Since the drought risk level of the basin is determined to be high, it is recommended to make a drought management plan in the study area, to reduce negative drought effects, and to take early warnings and drought precautions.

Gençcelep, Hüseyin; Akşit, Zeynep
The food industry constantly growing with increasing population and food diversity. In addition to production, the formation of food waste is also increasing. These wastes cause environmental pollution, economical problems and the loss of valuable chemical com-ponents. Tomato is used for tomato paste, sauce and other food production; especially the skin and seed part of tomato is waste. Grapefruit and quince have a significant amount of waste, especially in the beverage industry. The reuse of these wastes can reduce the exposu-re of solid waste, the environmental problem and the recovery of the bioactive components. In this study, some physicochemical, functional and thermal properties of quince, grapef-ruit and tomato waste were determined and their reuse potential was revealed. All three samples showed high hydration properties. According to the dietary fiber analysis, TDF of quince, grapefruit and tomato were 87.90%, 90.34%, and 63.76% respectively. DTG and TGA chromatograms were obtained for the thermal decomposition of the samples. Tomato waste signaled lycopene and its derivatives as distinct from the other samples in the FT-IR spectrum. Based on the results of the study; the use of these wastes in many food products as hydrocolloid, filler, fat replacer is possible, also cost reduction may be possible with the recovery of these samples.

Alatas, Hacer; Yildiran, Hilal; Yalçin, Ahmet
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and malnutrition inflammation score by examining the food consumption of hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in 49 hemodialysis patients (25 male, 24 female) in 18-65 years. The body composition of the patients was measured with a bioimpedance device, the malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) questionnaire was applied, and their food consumption for three days was taken by the researcher. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.6 +/- 11.39 years, MIS was 11.3 +/- 4.10 and 85.7% of them were malnourished. It was found that the patients received 23.1 +/- 10.53 kcal/kg/day energy and 0.83 +/- 0.39 g/kg/ day protein. According to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), 80% of male patients and 83.7% of female patients receive insufficient energy. The 84% of male patients and all female patients take insufficient protein according to NKF. Daily intake of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, zinc, iron and calcium was below the NKF recommendations. A significant negative correlation was found between BMI and body composition of the patients. Conclusion: It is remarkable that the daily energy, protein and some nutrient intake of the patients was quite lower than the values recommended for hemodialysis patients. High MIS may be associated with malnutrition due to insufficient energy and nutrient intake.

Context: Light treatment has a regulatory role in some growth-related functions, including thyroid development in chicks. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different photoperiod treatments on thyroid organ weight and serum thyroid hormone concentrations of broilers by use of biochemical and histological methods. Methods: After the hatching, 120 broiler chicks (Ross) were divided into two main groups according to sex. Both groups were then split into two sub-groups based on photoperiod treatment: 16 h (i.e. 16 h light:8 h dark) and 24 h (24 h light:0 h dark). Thyroid gland and blood samples of six animals from each group were obtained after slaughtering at 7-day intervals from Day 14 after hatching to Day 42. Serum concentrations of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were determined by the chemiluminescence method for all groups. Thyroid weight, bodyweight and thyroid follicle diameter were also measured. Key results: Thyroid weight:bodyweight ratio generally started to increase from Day 14 to Day 42, with no significant (P > 0.05) difference among the groups at the same age. For both male and female broiler chicks, morphometric measures increased as birds grew. Serum FT3 and TSH concentrations slightly decreased and serum FT4 concentrations increased in growing chicks of both sexes. Conclusions: Extending the photoperiod from 16 to 24 h had no effects on thyroid gland development or functions in terms of both biochemical and morphometric parameters in broiler chicks. Implications: Continuous light has minimal effects on thyroid functions of growing broiler chicks to Day 42.

Background: Functional constipation is often seen in children, affecting quality of life and imposing a considerable burden on health care services. The Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between functional constipation and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in Turkish children aged 6–18 years. Methods: In this case–control study, 221 children with functional constipation (cases) were selected from a paediatric gastroenterology clinic between May 2018 and September 2019, and 230 children without constipation (controls) were randomly selected from those attending a well-child check-up. Cases and controls were matched on sex, age and socioeconomic characteristics. Compliance with the Mediterranean diet was assessed using the KIDMED index score. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyses the data. Results: KIDMED index scores in cases and controls were 4.0 (SD = 2.5) and 6.3 (SD = 2.4), respectively (P < 0.001). Odds ratios for functional constipation were 0.23 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.13–0.38) for KIDMED index score 4–7 and 0.05 (95% CI: 0.03–0.11) for score ≥ 8 compared with the lowest category (score ≤ 3; P < 0.001). A negative correlation was observed between age and adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Conclusion: Good adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of functional constipation, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet decreased with age. Education on nutrition and health is warranted to help maintain and improve the health of young people in Turkey.

Cebi, K.; Ozyurek, S.
The present study aims to determine the seasonal change of fatty acid composition in pasture period, especially CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid), in the milk of Akkaraman ewe and Hair goat. During the pasture period, 10 Akkaraman ewe and 10 Hair goats were grazed only on pasture without additional feeding. Individual milk samples were obtained from each animal once a month from May to October. Plant samples were again obtained from the pasture once a month. The pasture period displayed effects on the CLA ratio in total milk fat acid in both species. CLA had the highest level of total milk fat acid in both species in May when pasture had the highest PUFA, especially linoleic acid (C18:2n6) and α-linolenic acid (C18:3n3). SFA: UFA ratio reached the highest level in June for Akkaraman sheep and Hair goat. Although the atherogenic index was at the lowest level in September (P≤0.01) in Akkaraman sheep milk, Hair goat milk had the lowest atherogenic index in May (p ≤0.001). All Δ9 desaturase activities in Akkaraman sheep milk (14:1/14, 16:1/16 and 18:1/18) were affected by the pasture period. The findings of the present study indicated a relationship between CLA ratio in the total milk fatty acid and C18:3n3ratio in pasture.

Our study was followed by incubation for 12 days and the first cases were seen on the third day. It was recorded that B. bassiana isolates caused the highest mortality rate on the 3rd day (BbEMRKZ2a, 10.50%); 5th day (BbEMRKZ5b and BbEÜ3, 22.39%); 7th day (MaEM3i, 45.71); 9th day (BbEMRKZ1a and BbER4, 50.00%), and after 12 days (BbEİ5, 62.54%). Also, it was recorded that M. anisopliae isolates caused the highest mortality rate on the 3rd day (MaEMR1a, 5.78%), 5th day (MaET3, 23.32%), 7th day (BbER4, 37.4%), 9th day (MaEİ3 50.84%), and after 12 days (MaET3, 60.01%). In the control group, the highest mortality rate was 1.12% at the end of the incubation period.
