Nickel Hyperaccumulation By Natural Plants In Turkish Serpentine Soils, Haşi̇m Altinözlü, Alpteki̇n Karagöz, Turgay Polat, İlhami̇ Ünver
Turkish Journal of Botany
Natural plants in Turkish serpentine soils were surveyed to determine their Ni accumulation capability. Geographic distribution and diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable nickel contents of the western Anatolian serpentine soils and their vegetative contents were studied to find the possible relationships between the phytoavailable Ni amount in the soil and the Ni content of potential accumulator plants. Over half of the surface area of Turkey was targeted in the study. Aboveground parts of 413 herbaceous plants and the surface soil (0-15 cm) of 192 serpentine samples were collected. A digital elevation model and ANUSPLIN and ArcGIS 8.1 software packages were …

Turkish Journal of Botany
The genus Loranthus L. (Loranthaceae) is represented in Iran by 2 species: Loranthus europaeus Jacq. and L. grewingkii Boiss. & Buhse; the latter species is endemic to the area of Flora Iranica. The plants of Loranthus are hemiparasites growing on various host trees such as Quercus infectoria Oliv., Acer monspessulanum L., and Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. In order to investigate the range of morphological variation in different populations of these species, an inclusive gross morphological and micromorphological study was conducted. For this purpose, the anatomical characteristics of the stem, leaf, petiole, and fruit were also investigated. The most prominent features were …

Effects Of N Fertilisation, Organic Matter, And Biofertilisers On The Growth And Yield Of Chilli In Relation To Management Of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes, Zehra Khan, Sartaj Ali Tiyagi, Irshad Mahmood, Rose Rizvi
Turkish Journal of Botany
An experiment was conducted at the University Agricultural Research Farm to study the effect of inoculation with biological nitrogen fixers on growth and yield of chilli (Capsicum annum L.) cv. "Pusa Jawala" in relation to disease incidence caused by plant-parasitic nematodes. The growth, yield, and quality parameters of chilli increased significantly with the inoculation of biological nitrogen fixers using Azospirillum and Azotobacter. Performance of Azospirillum was found better as compared to Azotobacter. Simultaneous inoculation with biofertilisers (100% recommended dose of N-fertiliser 100 kg N per ha and farmyard manure 15 t per ha) resulted the maximum growth, yield, and quality …

Turkish Journal of Botany
This paper provides a description of a new species of Rugaspermum D.D.Pant & Basu, R. minuta Bhowmik & Parveen, from the Nidpur Triassic beds. The dispersed seeds were recovered after macerating large chunks of shale in hydrofluoric acid. The structurally preserved compressed seed is platyspermic, orthotropus, and oval- to barrel-shaped with a short beak-like micropyle. The surfaces of the seeds are wrinkled and there is a wide lateral ridge running from the apex to the base on both the obverse and reverse sides. Upon maceration, the seed yielded 4 membranes: outer, inner, nucellar, and megaspore membranes. The outer cuticle of …

Turkish Journal of Botany
Scorzonera zorkunensis Coskuncelebi & S.Makbul (Asteraceae) is described and illustrated from Turkey. It grows on serpentine in alpine steppe vegetation together with several endemic Scorzonera L. species in southern Anatolia at altitudes of 2075-2100 m. It is morphologically similar to S. pisidica Hub.-Mor., but it differs in its habit and stem and leaf pubescence. Additionally, the size and micromorphological characters of the achenes and some anatomical traits of the leaves, stems, and roots are helpful in distinguishing these closely related taxa. The phylogenetic analyses based on nrDNA ITS sequence data indicate that S. pisidica is a sister species of the …

Morphology And Density Of Trichomes And Stomata Of Trichosanthes Cucumerina (Cucurbitaceae) As Affected By Leaf Age And Salinity, Odunayo Clement Adebooye, Mauricio Hunsche, Georg Noga, Christa Lankes
Turkish Journal of Botany
We investigated the relationship between leaf age and trichome/stomata densities in the snake tomato (Trichosanthes cucumerina L.). In a second experiment, the effects of different salinity levels on trichome and stomatal densities and their micromorphology were investigated. The leaf age investigation utilised young, semiold, and old leaves, while the salinity study utilised 0, 60, 120, and 180 mM NaCl for the investigation. Two morphotypes (Variant --Green and Variant B-Light Green) of T. cucumerina were used for the salinity experiment while only Variant B-Light Green was used for the leaf age investigation. This study identified 2 discernible types of trichomes in …
