Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Technology in Sustainable Agriculture: Current Knowledge and Challenges in Agroforestry
(Springer Nature, 2024) Boyno, G.; Ansari, R.A.; Durak, E.D.; Güneş, H.; Çevik, R.; Demir, S.
In agroecosystems, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most common and ubiquitous. Because of their productive and comprehensive symbiotic connections with plants, AM technology looks to be a viable option for sustainable agriculture and agroforestry. The commercialization of this technology may be utilized in agriculture, horticulture, and agroforestry to improve land use management and reduce the need for synthetic chemicals for plant growth and disease control. Furthermore, while mycorrhiza inoculation of plants is a well-known procedure, developing an inoculum consistently under field circumstances remains a bottleneck for their wide range of applications. Mycorrhizal inoculum generation, on the other hand, is a complicated process that necessitates commercial enterprises having the requisite biotechnological skills and capacity to react to ethical, educational, legal, and commercial needs. The aim of this chapter is to compile the available data on the theme of commercialization of AM technology as a tool and its use in increasing plant growth and yield characters. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
Aspects That Should Be Taken Care of in Making Children Gain a Reading Habit and Features That Child Books Should Possess
(2011) Güneş, H.; Güneş, N.
Child Education is a process starting with birth and continuing until death. While children are considered as the base stones of the future they are special and as a matter of fact the education regarding children should also be special. For this reason books prepared and written for children should be handled with special care and attention. But when it comes to the notion of choosing qualified Child books both parents and educators regard themselves as inadequate. The parents are not good readers, they don't have any idea about this matter and as they don't read enough books they don't know the features books should necessarily include, all these items are the reasons for the parents' inability in choosing the appropriate and qualified books for their children. However parents and teachers have to develop themselves within this area. Even there is a reasonable increase in the writing and publishing of books recently, the due trend is together with the others unable to prevent the publication of disqualified books having no educational features or purposes at all. For this reason both parents and instructors see themselves obliged to be distinguishing. As a matter of fact a good choice in the mentioned area will have a lifelong effect on children.
Effect of Some Trichoderma Species on Germination Rate of Nettle (Urtica Dioica L.)
(Centenary University, 2019) Güneş, H.; Demirer Durak, E.; Yeşilova, A.; Demir, S.
Plants belonging to the Urticaceae family, including 48 genera and 1050 species in the world, are used extensively in many areas from past to present for different purposes. The aim of this study was to determine the parameters that promote germination of U. dioica plant in order to contribute to the studies aimed at increasing the use of nettle in large areas for agricultural and pharmacological purposes. Trichoderma harzianum, T. virens, T. asperellum fungi, Hoagland nutrient solution and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), Water Agar and blotter germination medium were used to determine the effects on germination of nettle seeds. The study was conducted in vitro with 4 replications. As a result of the experiment, it was determined that all Trichoderma species promoted germination of nettle plant with nutrient solution in blotter medium and increased by 62.5% compared to control. In this context, it has shown that will be beneficial transferring this effect seen in vitro conditions to in vivo conditions. © 2019, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
Effect of Anakinra and Infliximab on Oxidative Stress and Caspase Activation in Ptz-Induced Acute Seizure in Rats
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2023) Yıldızhan, K.; Güneş, H.; Taskıran, A.Ş.
We aimed to examine the effects of Anakinra (AKR) and Infliximab (IFB) on increased oxidative stress (OS) and proapoptotic pathway parameters after an epileptic attack. The rats were divided into four groups; control, pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), PTZ+Anakinra, and PTZ+Infliximab groups. AKR and IFB treatment was done 30 min. after PTZ administration, and rats were sacrificed after 24 h. The acute epilepsy model we created with PTZ in the rats and seizure symptoms were evaluated using the Racine classification and the delay time to the first myoclonic jerk. We also examined the levels of tota l antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidative stress (TOS), neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), caspase 3 and caspase 9 in the cortex and hippocampus. Post-treatment of AKR and IFB decreased PTZ-induced OS in the cortex and hippocampus while TAS levels also increased. In addition, it was observed that AKR and IFB decreased the levels of BDNF, caspase 3 and caspase 9 compared to the PTZ group. These findings showed that AKR and IFB might be used as important therapeutic agents to inhibit OS and apoptosis mechanisms that may occur after PTZ-induced epileptic attacks. © 2023, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
