CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as the most important tool for genome engineering due to its simplicity, design flexibility, and high efficiency. This technology makes it possible induce point mutations in one or some target sequences simultaneously, well introduce new genetic variants by homology-directed recombination. However, this approach remains largely unexplored forest species. In study, we rep...

The aim of this study is to determine the plant species preferred by Apis mellifera L., which a valuable genotype in terms vitality and high honey production. For purpose, seven samples from Yığılca region Düzce (Turkey) were examined for pollen analysis. As result analysis on these samples, it was determined that local honeybee use grains 43 different taxa 26 families. Six unifloral (> 45% ...

Ink disease caused by the root-rot pathogen P. cinnamomi (Pc) threatens European sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) orchards, and growers increasingly graft susceptible C. traditional varieties on Pc-resistant hybrid commercial rootstocks. The influence of scion, rootstock, grafting per se vegetative budburst, growth, susceptibility to Pc defence-related hormone profile Castanea spp. are un...
