Nomadic pastoralism and interaction zones (The case of pre-Soviet Kyrgyz pastoralism)

Baktıbek İSAKOV | Cıldız URMANBETOVA

This paper re-conceptualizes the four-seasonal cycling tradition of pre-Soviet Kyrgyz pastoralism, reconsidering the existing archival and oral materials. It argues that the summer quarters (zhailoo) in nomadic cycling were core contact zones for whole clan-based Kyrgyz community in pre-Soviet time whereas, the other winter, spring and autumn quarters remained in the margins. In addition, since all small and large nomadic groups from different regions were interacting in summer quarter, practicing the common language, ceremonies and traditions, this quarter also was preventing the emergence of ...Более

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Plant Diversity of Sary-Chelek Biosphere Reserve in Kyrgyzstan

Nazgül İMANBERDİYEVA | Zeki SEVEROĞLU

The Sary-Chelek Nature Reserve established in 1959 with an area of 239 km2 and declared as a UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserve in 1978 is located on the southeast-facing slope of the northern Chatkal Range in central Jalalabad province. It is centered around the scenic Sary-Chelek Lake. The mountains immediately surrounding the lake abound in exceptionally diverse flora and fauna, what may be the widest variety found in the Tian Shan. The area is spread over varied ecosystems and habitats, which include the forests of spruce and juniper together with the forests of wild fruits and nuts and riparian ...Более

Analysis of genotype by environment interaction to identify high-yielding and stable oilseed rape genotypes using the GGE-biplot model

Hossein ZEİNALZADEH TABRİZİ

Spring oilseed rape is one of the major oilseed crops produced in different regions of Iran's tropical climates. Because of the various climatic and geographical conditions of the tropical areas of Iran, it is necessary to release high-yielding cultivars with broad adaptability to the various tropical regions. The main objective of this study was to identify high-yielding and stable spring oilseed rape genotypes among some new oilseed rape genotypes via analysis of genotype by environment interaction using the GGE biplot model. To this end, multi environmental trials (METs) were conducted acro ...Более

Identification of Microbial Populations Present in Agricultural and Nonarable Soils in the Talas Valley, Northern Kyrgyzstan, in Autumn

Tinatin DOOLOTKELDİEVA | Saykal BOBUŞOVA | Mahabat KONURBAYEVA

Soil bacterial and fungal communities were investigated in relation to soil type and farm management practices after vegetation harvesting in autumn. Soils from fields cultivated with Phaseolus vulgaris (bean) and Pyrus comminus (pear) and nonarable, natural areas were studied. Microbial diversity was analysed using cultivation-dependent methods (isolation of pure cultures) and cultivation-independent methods (direct extraction of DNA from soil, followed by PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA genes). The use of cultivation-dependent methods revealed that there were no differences in ...Более

Detection and identification of citrus long-horned beetle, Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) a new pest in Antalya Province, Turkey by sequencing of mtCOI region

Hüseyin GÖÇMEN

In 2016, Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) was recorded for the first time on Acer negundo L. in Antalya Province, Turkey. Genetic identification of adult samples was made based on approximate alignment of a 729-bp sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene region. The sequence alignment in the BLAST analysis from the NCBI Genbank showed 99% similarity with A. chinensis. The sequence data was deposited to NCBI Genbank. A phylogenetic analysis was performed by using the sequence data belonging to A. chinensis and some species of same genus obtained fr ...Более

Analysis of EST-SSRs in silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.)

İlhan DOĞAN

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) defined as sequence repeat units between 1 and 6 bp occur abundantly in both coding and non-coding regions in eukaryotic genomes and these repeats can affect gene expression. In this study, ESTs (expressed sequence tags) of Betula pendula (silver birch) were analyzed for in silico mining of EST-SSRs, protein annotation, open reading frames (ORFs), designing primers, and identifying codon repetitions. In B. pendula, the frequency of ESTs containing SSRs was 7.8 % with an average of 1SSR/4. 78 kb of EST sequences. A total of 188 SSRs was identified by using MISA so ...Более

MORPHOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE EURASIAN LYNX (Lynx lynx) PLANUM NASALE

Hasan Hüseyin ARI

This study reveals the macroscopic and microscopic structures of the Eurasian lynx planum nasale using materials from three dead females obtained from the Sivas Forestry Branch of Agriculture and Forestry Ministry of the Republic of Turkey. To accomplish the purpose, planum nasale was investigated using macroscopic, histological, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The microscopic examination showed that the planum nasale consists of hairless, moist, glabrous skin and resembles a ship anchor with arm, palm, stock, and sickle parts. The planum nasale's surface is formed by epider ...Более

DETERMINATION OF THE NATURAL ENEMIES AND POPULATION FLUCTUATION OF Tuta absoluta (MEYRICK, 1917) (LEPIDOPTERA:GELECHIIDAE) IN HIGHLAND GREENHOUSES IN ANTALYA, TURKEY

Hüseyin GÖÇMEN

Tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the most important pests that cause yield and quality loss in tomato cultivation in greenhouse and open field. 7'. absoluta, has spread rapidly in tomato production areas after emerging to Turkey in 2009. The pest is widely found along growing season in greenhouses and open fields in the coastal part of Antalya, where suitable climatic conditions are present. However, the population status of T. absoluta in tomato cultivation in greenhouses under high altitude highland conditions is not known and the study has been handled for this purpose. th ...Более

A Research On The Vegetation Structures Of The Rangelands Of District Tufanbeyli, Adana = Adana İli Tufanbeyli İlçesi Meralarının Vejetasyon Yapısı Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Selahattin ÇINAR

This research was conducted to determine vegetation structures of the upland rangelands in the five villages of Tufanbeyli district, Adana, in 2010. Vegetations of the rangelands were studied by the loop method. In the study, plant cover percentages, botanical compositions based on the cover percentage in the plant covered area, range quality values and range conditions of the rangelands studied were determined. Average percentages of grasses, legumes and other family plants in the total plant cover were determined as 36.9 %, 22.0 % and 41.1 %, respectively. It was determined that the averaged ...Более

A MACROSCOPIC STUDY ON THE MUSCLES AND TENDONS OF FOREPAWS IN THE ANATOLIAN BOBCAT (Lynx lynx)

The muscles and tendons of the forepaw in the bobcat are located in the cranial and caudal aspect of the antebrachium, the central manus and hypothenar region. The extensor muscles are situated on the cranial aspect of the antebrachium, whil ...Более

A Research on the Determination of Molecular Genetic Characteristics of Some Bemisia Tabaci (genn.) (hemiptera:aleyrodidae) Populations

Hüseyin GÖÇMEN

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae) is one of the most crucial agricultural pests in tropical and subtropical regions. The pest is a species complex which contain morphologically indistinguishable biotypes or genetic groups. The aim of the present study is to examine B. tabaci populations collected from Aydin, Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Hatay regions in 2004 and 2005. Prior to analysis, as the first step, the biotypes were determined by considering molecular differences among populations. In addition, the differences among populations were determined by means of bi ...Более
