(Centenary University, 2020) Şelem, E.; Nohutçu, L.; Tunçtürk, R.; Tunçtürk, M.
Although Allium species are used in a wide variety of fields, they are frequently preferred as dry or fresh spices for intestine disorders, loss of appetite, for regulating blood sugar, pain reliever, wound healing, acne treatment and herby cheese making in the Eastern Anatolia region. In this study, it was aimed to determine of morphological measurements (plant length, stem length and diameter, leaf length and diameter, number of leaves, umbella diameter, pedicel length), stoma and pollen characteristics and pollen viability of some Allium species which are used extensively in our country especially due to their aroma and antimicrobial properties. Allium akaka, A. giganteum, A. kharputense, A. scorodoprasum subsp rotundum, A.vineale and A. sintensii species collected from their natural habitat they were cultivated and planted in plots prepared in the Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Garden during the field trips from Van and surrounding cities in 2016. As a result, according to the measurements and evaluations made in the observation plots where the plants are located, it has been observed that there is a good adaptation in terms of morphological features, it was determined that A. kharputense and A. sintensii species showed a weaker growth than others. In terms of pollen amount and vitality, which is an important parameter in high seed yield, it was observed that A.vineale and A. scorodoprasum subsp. rotundum species came to the fore. It has been observed that stomata, which play an important role in adaptation and photosynthesis, have the highest density of A. kharputense species and the highest measure is A. vineale. © 2020, Centenary University.

(Centenary University, 2021) Şelem, E.; Nohutçu, L.; Tunçtürk, R.; Tunçtürk, M.
Calendula officinalis L. species, which has an important place among medicinal plants, is used in the pharmacology, food, ornamental plant, and cosmetics industry. In recent studies, It is known that the usage areas of marigold have become increasingly widespread, but despite this widespread use, the species is quite limited of commercial production. Against drought stress, which is an important abiotic stress factor in agricultural production, BGUB (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria) applications have come to the fore in order to minimize the decrease in yield and quality. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effects of PGPR (B0: Bacteria-free environment (control), B1; Azospirillum lipoferum, B2: Bacillus megaterium, B3: Chlorella saccharophila) applications on some growth parameters and physiological changes of C. officinalis plant grown under drought stress (normal irrigation (K1), reduced ½ (K2) ve reduced ¾ (K3)) conditions. The study was carried out in a controlled climate room with a temperature of 25o C and a humidity of 65% in a dark/light photoperiod of 8/16 hours. Seeds were sown on 28.05.2020 and were subjected to analysis of variance in randomized plot design and 3x4 factorial design. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effects of BGUKB (B0: Bacteria-free environment (control), B1; Azospirillum lipoferum, B2: Bacillus megaterium, B3: Chlorella saccharophila) applications on some growth parameters and physiological changes of C. officinalis plant grown under drought stress (normal irrigation (K1), reduced ½ (K2) ve reduced ¾ (K3)) conditions. Considering the parameters examined, drought applications were found to be statistically significant in terms of stem length (K1: 11.1 cm), root fresh (K1: 1.06 g) and dry (K1: 0.17 g) weight, stem fresh (K1: 7.26 g) weight, leaf area (K1: 7.81 cm2) and temperature (K3: 27.7o C), epidermal cell number (K1: 593.16 number/mm2 and all stomatal characteristics. In conclusion, bacteria applications showed a significant impact on some of the characters like stem length (B1: 11.0 cm), root fresh (B1: 0.89 g) weight, stem fresh (B1: 6.09 g) weight, epidermal cell number (B1: 672.88 number mm-2), stoma length (B1: 32.71 µ) and density (B1: 11.06 number (mm2). © 2021, Centenary University.

(Centenary University, 2021) Yolcı, M.S.; Tunçtürk, R.; Tunçtürk, M.
In this study, the effects of salt stress (0, 100, 200 mM NaCl) on some growth and physiological parameters of peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) cultivars (Arıoğlu-2003 and Gazipaşa) were investigated. The experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replicates under controlled growth chamber. As a result of the research; The effect of salt stress on shoot length, root fresh and dry weight was statistically insignificant. Increasing salt concentrations, while increasing ion leakage in leaf tissues, leaf temperature and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) level, it decreased other growth and physiological parameters. In the study; maximum root length (29.2 cm), shoot fresh weight (8.67 g), shoot dry weight (2.88 g), relative water content in leaf tissues (56.6%), membrane resistance index in leaf tissues (79.7%), leaf area (17.6%) and chlorophyll ratio (66.3) were obtained from control (0 mM NaCl) applications, while the highest ion leakage in leaf tissues (61.4%), leaf temperature (19.3 0C) and MDA level (0.464 nmol g-1) were determined from 200 mM NaCl applications. In addition, statistically significant differences were found among the varieties on other parameters except shoot length, root fresh and dry weight, and it was determined that Gazipaşa peanut variety was partially more resistant to salt stress than Arıoğlu-2003 variety. © 2021, Centenary University.

(Centenary University, 2023) Uçar, C.P.; Selem, E.; Tunçtürk, R.; Tunçtürk, M.; Akköprü, A.
In order to meet the demand for medicinal sage (Salvia officinalis L.), which is an important economic product, harvesting from nature has economic value. However, it may not always be of the desired standard and quality. Also, the harvesting from nature endangers their natural population causing their genetic base to decline. For this reason, it is important to produce it in an agrosystem and to increase yield in a sustainable way. In this study, the effects of eleven endophyte bacteria (EB) isolates applications on the development, morphology, and physicochemical properties of Salvia officinalis L. were investigated by climate chamber experiments. Peat+perlite+soil (1:1:2) mixture was used as the growing medium and EB was applied two times by soaking method. Effects of EB applications on shoot/root length, root/stem fresh and dry weight, Dualex values (Nitrogen balance index (NBI), flavonol, anthocyanin, and chlorophyll), leaf area, leaf temperature and color values (L*, a) *, b * C and Hue° were examined. All EB applications increased the plant height and leaf area. Also, the majority of EB isolates enhanced the root dry weight. The effect of EB applications on flavonol and chlorophyll content was not found statistically significant. However, there was a statistically significant increase in the nitrogen balance index (NBI). It was also observed that EB applications caused changes in plant color. According to the results obtained, it has been seen that it is possible to produce environmentally friendly and sustainable medicinal sage with appropriate plant-bacteria combinations. © 2023, Centenary University.

The Effects of Glomus Intraradices on Seedling Growth Parameters of Sage (Salvia Officinalis L.) Under Salinity Stress Conditions
(Association of Agricultural Technology in Southeast Asia, 2024) Tunçtürk, R.; Tunçtürk, M.; Danesh, R.Y.; Najafi, S.; Toprak, T.
Salinity is a significant abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth and development, threatening global agricultural productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Results indicated that increasing salt concentrations significantly inhibited seedling growth in all studied parameters, with control plants (0 mM) exhibiting the highest growth values. The tallest plants measured 23.16 cm in the control treatment, while those exposed to 200 mM salt reached only 13.12 cm. Although AMF applications did not show significant effects on plant height, they positively influenced growth parameters in salt-free conditions. Statistical analysis revealed significant interactions between salt levels and AMF on root fresh and dry weights, with the highest values recorded in the control group. Furthermore, AMF applications generally promoted growth, particularly in non-saline conditions, corroborating findings from previous research highlighting mycorrhizae's role in enhancing plant stress tolerance. In conclusion, the research findings emphasize the detrimental impact of salinity on plant development and the potential of mycorrhizal inoculation as a strategy to mitigate these effects. These findings contribute to understanding the beneficial role of AMF in improving salt tolerance and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in saline-prone environments. © 2024 Association of Agricultural Technology in Southeast Asia.

(Academic Journals, 2008) Yildirim, B.; Okut, N.; Türközü, D.; Terzioǧlu, Ö.; Tunçtürk, M.
The aim of this study which was conducted in the summer of 2001 on the trial fields of Van YYU (Yüzüncü Yil University) was to determine the effects of Maxicrop leaf fertilizer, applied on Beason soybean at various stages, on the yield and yield components. Maxicrop doses of 500, 1000 and 1500 g.ha-1 per hectare were applied at three different stages of the plant (seed stage, four-leaf stage and "beginning of blooming" stage). The highest plant height was achieved as 32.98 cm on average from 2000 g.ha-1 dose. No difference was recorded between the applications in terms of 1000 seed weight. The values of 1000 seed weight varied between 134.25-144.25 g on average. Application doses lead to an increase in seed yield. The highest seed yield value was achieved as 1265.7 kg. ha-1 from 2000 g.ha-1 dose while the lowest seed yield was achieved as 997.3 kg. ha-1 from the control dose. © 2008 Academic Journals.

(Ege Universitesi, 2023) Havva Kurt, C.; Tunçtürk, M.; Tunçtürk, R.
Objective: The objective of this study was to observe the morphological and biochemical changes of salicylic acid in soybean grown under salinity stress. Material and Methods: The study was carried out in climate room of Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops in 2019. The “Ilksoy” soybean variety was used in the study. Four different salisilic acid doses (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM) and 3 different NaCl salt doses (0, 150 and 300 mM) were applied. Plant releated properties such as root - stem length, root -stem fresh weight, root - stem dry weight, leaf area, chlorophyll content, ion leakage in leaf tissues (ILLT), lipid peroxidation level (MDA), relative water content (RWC) and membrane resistance in leaf tissues (MRLT) were determined. Results and Conclusions:It was observed that as the salt doses increased, the stem fresh weight of the soybean plants decreased, and the lowest value was obtained from 1.26 g and 300 mM salt concentration. The highest MDA content (0.75 nmolg-1 FW) and the lowest chlorophyll content (39.46 SPAD) were obtained when the 300 mM NaCl dose was applied. From the study conducted, the stem length, root, stem fresh and dry weights, RWC, MRLT, leaf area and chlorophyll ratio decreased with salt stress applications while the MDA and ILLT values increased. In addition, the longest roots were detected in 150 mM salt applications as compared to the control. © 2023 Authors. All rights reserved.
