Phenolic acid and flavonoid diversity in four Eucalyptus species

Fazilet Özlem Albayrak | Yüksel Keleş

The economic importance of Eucalyptus trees is due to their rapid growth and high biomass productivity, as well as the beneficial chemical compounds found in their various tissues. Eucalyptus cultivation is common in the southern part of Turkey, especially in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean. In this study, phenolic acids and flavonoids were analyzed in methanol extracts leaf tissues of four eucalyptus species by HPLC. Fifteen different phenolic compounds were determined in the leaf tissues of the four Eucalyptus species examined. The highest total phenolic amounts were found in E. botryoides (160.56 mg g-1DW), followed by E. tereticornis (66.47 mg g⁻¹ DW) and E. citriodora (64.02 mg g⁻¹ DW). Twelve different compounds were determined in E. botryoides and E. citriodora species, 10 in...

Responses of antioxidant defense system of Helianthus annuus to abscisic acid treatment under drought and waterlogging.

Yüksel Keleş, Serpil Ünyayar

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) treatment on growth pigments and antioxidant defense system were in vestigated in seedlings of Helianthus annuus (cvs. Nantio F1 and Özde mirbey) subjected to drought and waterlogging stress. In addition, seedlings were sprayed with 10 µM ABA three times every other day. Reltive growth rate (RGR) was significantly reduced in both genotypes under drought stress, however, this growth inhibition was less in ABA-treated plants. Total chlorophyll content increased by drought stress in both gentypes. Ascorbate was not influenced by drought, while α-tocopherol in creased in cv. Nantio F1. Ascorbate and α-tocopherol in creased with drought stress in cv. Özdemirbey. ABA treat ment de creased ascorbate and ß-carotene contents while it increased α-tocopherol and xan...

Türkiye Türkçesinde Benzerlik, Yakınlık, Yaklaşıklık, Denklik ve Özdeşlik İfadeleri

Ergene, Oğuz

Similarity, proximity, approximation, equivalence and identity relationships constituted between multiple concepts provide direct or indirect comparison of concepts, positioning relative to each other, making precise or predictive evaluations about them and transmitting various features in a more concrete way. These forms of expression based on similarities between concepts in terms of quality or quantity, relative and gradual proximity, equivalences, identities are used for an effective language that is strong in association and concretization. So language users actualise the meaning relations by taking advantage of the some linguistic features and the possibilities of expression. In this context, many linguistic and cultural components play an active role, especially lexical, morphologic...

Corpus-driven Lexical Profiles of the Turkish Synonym Set Sadece, Yalnızca and Yalnız

Muhammet Fatih Adıgüzel

This is a corpus-driven study based on the TNCv3.0 to identify lexical profiles of the synonym set of Turkish exclusive adverbials sadece, yalnızca and yalnız within the framework of the Model of Extended Lexical Units (Stubbs, 2002). From the concordances of the adverbials, their context dependent semantic, pragmatic and syntactic properties, co-occurrence tendencies, and synonymity levels were identified. It was found that sadece and yalnızca have a high contextual and collocational equinormality and are completely intersubstitutable and complete synonyms (Lyons, 1981) with yalnızca used less frequently. Yalnız is polysemous and multifunctional and has a sense synonymy relation with the others only when it means only. Even in the sense of only, yalnız was found to be rarely used in cer...

Exploring the Turkish Concept İrkil-: Corpus-driven Cognitive and Lexical Profiling of a Pre-emotion

Muhammet Fatih Adıgüzel | Yeşim Aksan

As a multi-disciplinary study about irkil- (get startled), which combines findings from psychology, cognitive and corpus linguistics, the article aims to identify the lexical profile and cognitive structure of this pre-emotion through its concordances from the TNC. We employed model of extended lexical units, which involves identifying irkil’s typical collocates, colligates, semantic preferences and discourse prosodies. As part of its event schema, irkil- was found to have a linguistic schema to be filled by certain paradigmatic and syntagmatic choices. We found typical collocates of irkil- are determined by the experiencer’s pre-startle situation (engrossment/absence), sudden stimuli of acoustic, tactile, visual and cognitive natures, post-startle behavioural tendencies characterised by...

Conceptual Blending Theory: The Case of ‘Flying Bus’ from Turkish

Muhammet Fatih Adıgüzel

Theory (CIT) and Conceptual metaphor Theory (CMT), this study investigates the application of Conceptual Blending Theory to a Turkish scenario where a Turkish speaker conceptualises a dangerously speeding bus as flying and associates it with Turkish Airlines. The study emphasizes the role of conceptual blending in creating novel meanings online by integrating disparate conceptual elements, as well as highlighting the complementary nature of CIT and CMT in meaning construction. In our scenario, the speaker’s metaphoric utterance as a reaction to the overspeed of a bus was explained by the metaphor TOO FAST DRIVING IS FLYING, which inherits the superordinate metaphor FAST MOTION IS FLIGHT, which is entrenched in our cultural cognition. Through a conceptual blending ne...
