Cicer Uludereensis Dönmez: A New Species Of Cicer (Chickpea) (Fabaceae) From Around The Fertile Crescent, Se Turkey, Ali̇ Aslan Dönmez
Turkish Journal of Botany
The genus Cicer L. includes an important crop plant, chickpea, which has been used as a protein source since prehistoric times. Specimens of a native Cicer have been collected and described from south-east Turkey. This new species, Cicer uludereensis Dönmez sp. nova, is distinct from a closely allied species, Cicer isauricum P.H.Davis, by its fine and more numerous teeth per leaflet, larger stipules, and narrower fruit with almost smooth seed surface. An illustration and a distribution map of the new species are provided and observations on the population are discussed.

Phylogenetic Relationships Between Malcolmia, Strigosella, Zuvanda, And Some Closely Related Genera (Brassicaceae) From Turkey Revealed By Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat Amplification, Beki̇r Doğan, Murat Ünal, Fevzi̇ Özgökçe, Esra Marti̇n, Ayla Kaya
Turkish Journal of Botany
The genus Malcolmia W.T.Aiton is taxonomically problematic, and some of its species have recently been transferred to the genera Strigosella Boiss. and Zuvanda Dvorák. Three species of this genus are native to Turkey. The revision studies based on molecular data, which were collected in the past few years, display the phylogenetic relations and the systematic positions of the taxa more reliably and apparently. Thus taxonomic problems of species are resolved through DNA-based molecular analyses, which are not affected by environmental factors compared to phenotypic studies. In the present study, the amplifications of the DNA fragments were carried out using ISSR …

The Revision Of The Genus Fritillaria L. (Liliaceae) In The Mediterranean Region (Turkey), Mehtap Tekşen, Zeki̇ Aytaç
Turkish Journal of Botany
This paper presents a systematic revision of Fritillaria L. (Liliaceae) in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.
