Wheat is one of the most essential food sources in the world. However, there has been serious yield loss of wheat production due to stripe rust disease caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. The cost-effective and long-lasting defense to the disease can be achieved by generating genetically resistant crops against the disease forming pathogens. To accomplish this, first step is to acquire knowledge in the plant pathogen interactions of the crop and the pathogen of interests at the cellular and the molecular level. In this thesis research, PstHa2a5 candidate effector gene from Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is investigated to identify its role and interaction between host factors in yellow rust infected Triticum aestivum L. The gene construct was engineered with FLAG-tag fusion at its N-terminus, and synthesized. This construct was cloned into pJL48-TRBO vector for an expression in Nicotiana benthamiana via agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation. The expressed protein structure with FLAG-tag was purified, and immunoprecipitated with one putative N. benthamiana interactor by immunoprecipitation experiments. This candidate interactor protein will be identified with Mass Spectroscopy. In addition to this, subcellular localization of the effector candidate was examined in N. benthamiana plant. This was achieved by cloning PstHa2a5 gene construct in pK7WGF2 gateway destination vector and localization is determined by GFP expression in N. benthamiana after agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation.

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most commonly grown crop due to its adaptation in a wide range of ecogeographical conditions and providing enhanced food assurance to the modern world. A diverse and rich collection is the foundation of each successful wheat improvement program. Therefore, major efforts are in progress worldwide to boost wheat production by broadening genetic diversity. Accepting this issue as a target, present study gives an overview of the major progress in the diversity and populati...
Correlation between total and EDTA/DTPA-extractable trace elements in soil and wheat
Cankur, O; Aras, NK; Olmez, I; Zhang, W; Goodwin, WE; Chatt, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-12-01)
Wheat and wheat products are more important sources of energy and nutrients in diets of people in many cultures compared to other foods. The daily consumption of wheat is about 200 g/d/person in Western Europe and North America. On the other hand, 400-450 g of wheat and wheat products are consumed daily by average Turkish people. Wheat samples collected from the Iskenderun region in 1995 and 1996 and Ankara and Istanbul regions in 1995 were analyzed for their trace element content by instrumental neutron ac...
Site directed mutations of one of the plant pathogen effector gene for functional analysis
Mustafa, Zemran; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biochemistry (2015)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops planted in the world and used as major food resource. Yet, there are major losses of productivity due to different biotic and abiotic destructive agents. Among the biotic factors especially the yellow rust is one of the most frequent. Yellow rust or also called “stripe rust”, due to stripe like appearances on the leaves, disease is caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, which is an obligate plant fungal pathogen. To cope with high yield...
Investigation of surface properties of quince seed extract and assessment of its performance as a novel polymeric surfactant
Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2020-12-30)
The use of sustainable ingredients from natural sources has shown an increase in recent years. For stabilization of dispersions, proteins and polysaccharides are increasingly being used in combination for their synergistic properties. Various studies have focused on developing biopolymers that merge the functions of proteins and polysaccharides in a single molecule. Quince seed extract (QSE) is a natural biopolymer that display this exceptional attribute in its native state. However, the literature is still...
Production and characterization of chickpea flour based biofilms containing gallic acid
Kocakulak, Seçil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Chickpea is an easily accessible legume which has beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, gallic acid is a widespread phenolic compound found in various plants. In this study, it was aimed to obtain chickpea flour based active films and to characterize this films. The effects of pH (9 and 11), glycerol concentration (1% and 3% w/v of film solution) and gallic acid concentration (5% and 10% w/w of total solid) on color, opacity, mechanical strength, water vapor permeability (WVP), microstructu...
