Congruence Of Rapd And Issr Markers For Evaluation Of Genomic Relationship Among 28 Populations Of Podophyllum Hexandrum Royle From Himachal Pradesh, India, Md. Afroz Alam, Pradeep Kumar Naik, Gyan Prakash Mishra

Turkish Journal of Botany

Twenty eight populations of Podophyllum hexandrum Royle were selected to study genetic relationship using RAPD and ISSR markers from north-western Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh, India. Nineteen RAPD primers and 11 ISSR primers amplified a total of 131 and 68 scorable bands, of which 92.37% and 83.82%, respectively, were polymorphic. The mean coefficient of gene differentiation (Gst) was 0.6933 and 0.6296, indicating that Nei´s gene diversity of 33.77% and 29.44% reside in all the populations. Estimated value of gene flow for RAPD (Nm = 0.11059), for ISSR (Nm = 0.1470) individually, and the combination of RAPD+ISSR (Nm = 0.1211) markers indicated that …

Floral Biology Of Aconitum Heterophyllum Wall.: A Critically Endangered Alpine Medicinal Plant Of Himalaya, India, Bhagwati P. Nautiyal, Mohan C. Nautiyal, Vinod P. Khanduri, Neelum Rawat

Turkish Journal of Botany

Aconitum heterophyllum Wall. is a critically endangered wild medicinal herb of alpine Himalaya and cultivation is recommended owing to its large demand in the herbal market and to ensure the conservation of wild habitats. Therefore, observations on floral biology, pollen germination, pollination, and fruit and seed setting after implying different breeding systems were carried out for its successful domestication and improvement in cultivation practices. The study reveals that the plants grown in hothouse conditions showed considerable variation in the production of flowers and seeds. Flowering occurs from the second week of September to late October, with 20 days of peak …

Pollen And Seed Morphology Of The Genus Hesperis L. (Brassicaceae) In Turkey, Münevver Pinar, Ahmet Duran, Tali̇p Çeter, G. Ni̇lhan Tuğ Jan 2009

Pollen And Seed Morphology Of The Genus Hesperis L. (Brassicaceae) In Turkey, Münevver Pinar, Ahmet Duran, Tali̇p Çeter, G. Ni̇lhan Tuğ

Turkish Journal of Botany

Pollen and seed morphology were examined in 35 specimens representing 25 Turkish species of the taxonomically complex genus Hesperis L. by light and scanning electron microscopes. Three main types and 2 subtypes were recognized based on the seed coat surface, pollen shape, and exine sculpturing. The seed coat ornamentation of Type I was ocellate, and pollen shape was oblate-spheroidal. While Type II was represented by reticulate seed coat and prolate-spheroidal pollen shape, Type III had tuberculate seed coat. This study revealed that both palynological and seed morphological characters are of significant importance in the taxonomy of the genus.

In Vitro And In Vivo Germination Of Cyclamen Alpinum Seeds, Betül Bürün, Oral Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Botany

Cyclamen trochopteranthum O.Schwarz has a confusing history, having been identified in the last part of the 19^{th} century and described as Cyclamen alpinum Sprenger. It remained known as C. alpinum until 1975, when it was described as C. trochopteranthum by Otto Schwarz. Cyclamen trochopteranthum is a species distributed in the south-western part of Turkey, but the C. trochopteranthum described in 1975 is today describe again as Cyclamen alpinum. The seeds of this species were collected from red pine forests in the Gökbel-Dalyan area on May 3-7 and stored with and without capsules in incubators at 20 °C. Among the seeds …

Callus Induction, Biomass Growth, And Plant Regeneration In Digitalis Lanata Ehrh.: Influence Of Plant Growth Regulators And Carbohydrates, Zohra Fatima, Abdul Mujib, Samar Fatima, Anjum Arshi, Shahid Umar

Turkish Journal of Botany

The effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and carbohydrate sources on callus induction, callus growth, and plant regeneration in foxglove was examined. Explants were transferred onto MS medium with various levels of PGRs and carbohydrates to determine the optimum explant and effective combinations of PGR treatment. For callus induction 6.0 mg L^{-1} of \alpha-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 3.0 mg L^{-1} of benzyl-aminopurine (BA) were very responsive. Addition of cytokinins (BA and kinetin) at 0.5-3.0 mg L^{-1} to media containing NAA enhanced callus growth. Shoot regeneration was best achieved in MS + 6.0 mg L^{-1} of BA. Adenine sulphate (Ade) …


The Effects Of Brassinosteroid On The Induction Of Biochemical Changes In Lycopersicon Esculentum Under Drought Stress, Mehri Behnamnia, Khosrow Manochehri Kalantari, Jalal Ziaie Jan 2009

The Effects Of Brassinosteroid On The Induction Of Biochemical Changes In Lycopersicon Esculentum Under Drought Stress, Mehri Behnamnia, Khosrow Manochehri Kalantari, Jalal Ziaie

Turkish Journal of Botany

Drought stress is considered a restricting factor for plant products; therefore many compounds were applied to minimise the harmful effects of stress. One type of these compounds that have antioxidative characteristics is brassinosteroids. In this experiment, when 4 fully expanded leaves of tomato plants appeared, 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) was sprayed onto the leaves at 0.01 and 1 µM concentrations for 3 days with a 1-day interval. Three levels of drought stress (0, 3, and 5 days withholding water) were applied. Thereafter, the effects of brassinosteroids and water stress were investigated on some biochemical and antioxidative parameters of tomato plants. Lipid peroxidation, …

Nickel Hyperaccumulation In Bornmuellera Kiyakii Aytaç & Aksoy And Associated Plants Of The Brassicaceae From Kızıldağ (Derebucak, Konya-Turkey), Roger D. Reeves, Nezaket Adigüzel, Alan J. M. Baker

Turkish Journal of Botany

Recent exploration of an area of ultramafic geology in south-western Turkey led to the discovery and description of a new species, Bornmuellera kiyakii Aytaç & Aksoy (Brassicaceae). This was of particular interest to us because of the earlier discovery of nickel hyperaccumulation (Ni concentrations exceeding 0.1% of plant dry weight) in 6 other taxa in this small genus from Albania, Greece, and Turkey. We report herein that B. kiyakii is also a Ni hyperaccumulator, based on a population near Çamlık that showed a mean Ni concentration exceeding 8000 mg kg^{-1} of dried leaf material. Several other members of the Brassicaceae …

Reed – Periphyton – Mycota Interactions In The Water Of Different Water Bodies, Bazyli Czeczuga, Bozenna Mazalska, Anna Godlewska, Elzbieta Muszynska

Turkish Journal of Botany

The authors investigated the influence of periphyton that abundantly overgrow stalks of reeds (reed-periphyton) submerged in water [Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Stewdel], especially the old ones, on the occurrence of mycoflora species in different trophic seasons in the water of 4 trophically different water bodies. The seeds and snake exuviae were used as bait. In the spring, diatoms were the predominant group of algae forming the periphyton on old reed stalks, green algae predominated in the summer, and cyanobacteria in the autumn. During the seasons studied, in the water from Lake Blizno equal numbers of mycoflora species were noted …

Benthic Algae (Except Bacillariophyta) And Their Seasonal Variations In Karagöl Lake (Borçka, Artvin-Turkey), Saadet Kolayli, Bülent Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Botany

Seasonal variation in the species composition of the benthic algae of Karagöl Lake was investigated from April to October in 2001 and 2002. The benthic algal flora consisted of 38 taxa belonging to the divisions Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, Euglenophyta, and Chrysophyta. In general, Chlorophyta were dominant in terms of species number and abundance during the study period. The distribution range of the benthic algae composition and dominant species differed from each other at all stations. Benthic algal growth was mostly influenced by water temperature and light.
