Trichoderma Indica: A New Species In The Longibrachiatum Clade From Western Ghats, India, Ajay Lagashetti, Sanjay Singh, Paras Nath Singh Nov 2023

Trichoderma Indica: A New Species In The Longibrachiatum Clade From Western Ghats, India, Ajay Lagashetti, Sanjay Singh, Paras Nath Singh

Turkish Journal of Botany

Trichoderma is a hyperdiverse genus that comprises species showing a wide range of applications. In this study, we have found an isolate of the genus Trichoderma from a soil sample collected from Vetal Hill, Pune, Maharashtra State, India. The isolate was found to be morphologically distinct compared to other isolates of the Longibrachiatum clade showing longer phialides and shorter conidia. Moreover, a phylogenetic analysis based on combined sequence data of the second-largest nuclear RNA polymerase subunit (rpb2), and the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α) confirmed the uniqueness of the present isolate, showing an independent branch supported by strong bootstrap values …


Determination Of Soil Nutrient Status In Vuralia Turcica Populations Growing At Different Locations In The Central Anatolia Region Of Turkey, Di̇lek Tekdal, Burçi̇n Çingay, Mehmet Seli̇m Çeti̇ner Jan 2018

Determination Of Soil Nutrient Status In Vuralia Turcica Populations Growing At Different Locations In The Central Anatolia Region Of Turkey, Di̇lek Tekdal, Burçi̇n Çingay, Mehmet Seli̇m Çeti̇ner

Turkish Journal of Botany

This study is an overview of the importance of soil nutrients for the maintenance of Vuralia turcica, which is an endemic in Turkey due to its natural habitats. Electrical conductivity, pH, and mineral element content (macroelements: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, and microelements: boron, cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc) were analyzed in 21 soil samples taken at 30?60 m depth at 21 points from 8 different locations where V. turcica was growing to determine nutrient content, which is important for soil fertility and controls the crop yield. According to pH analysis, all samples were strongly …


Nutrient Contents Of Pinus Brutia Ten. (Pinaceae) And Pistacia Terebinthus L. (Anacardiaceae) Growing On Marl And Conglomerate Substrata In The Eastern Mediterranean, Hüsni̇ye Aka Sağliker, Cengi̇z Darici Jan 2007

Nutrient Contents Of Pinus Brutia Ten. (Pinaceae) And Pistacia Terebinthus L. (Anacardiaceae) Growing On Marl And Conglomerate Substrata In The Eastern Mediterranean, Hüsni̇ye Aka Sağliker, Cengi̇z Darici

Turkish Journal of Botany

The eastern Mediterranean region is one of the main areas of the Mediterranean vegetation containing Calabrian cluster pine (Pinus brutia Ten., Pinaceae) forests and terebinth (Pistacia terebinthus L., Anacardiaceae) communities. This study was carried out with the leaves, shoots, leaf litters, and soils of Calabrian cluster pine and terebinth growing on both marl and conglomerate substrata in the eastern Mediterranean region (Turkey) to determine average C, N, P and K contents, and the amounts of humic and fulvic acid in these plant soils. The average element contents of leaf, shoot, leaf litter and soil samples of both plants from the …


Isolation And Identification Of Soilborne Fungi In Fields Irrigated By Gap In Harran Plain Using Two Isolation Methods, Ayşe Di̇lek Azaz Jan 2003

Isolation And Identification Of Soilborne Fungi In Fields Irrigated By Gap In Harran Plain Using Two Isolation Methods, Ayşe Di̇lek Azaz

Turkish Journal of Botany

The microfungal flora of field soils irrigated by the South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP: Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi) in Harran Plain were investigated in terms of quality and quantity, using the soil dilution plate and soil washing methods. A total of 1690 microfungi were isolated from 105 soil samples. With the identification of these isolates, 109 species plus 16 different sterile fungi were identified. Sixty-two of these taxa were isolated through the soil dilution plate method, seven through the soil washing method, and 40 through both methods. The results indicate that ten of these species belong to Mucorales, four to Sphaeriales, one …


Comparison Of Soil Fungi Flora In Burnt And Unburnt Forest Soils In The Vicinity Of Kargıcak (Alanya, Turkey), Ayşe Di̇lek Azaz, Osman Pekel Jan 2002

Comparison Of Soil Fungi Flora In Burnt And Unburnt Forest Soils In The Vicinity Of Kargıcak (Alanya, Turkey), Ayşe Di̇lek Azaz, Osman Pekel

Turkish Journal of Botany

Out of the 50 soil samples taken from burnt forest land in the vicinity of the village of Kargıcak in Alanya and from the adjacent normal forest soils by the Soil Dilution Plate Method 84 different species and 12 sterile microfungi taxa were obtained. Seventy-eight of them belong to Hyphomycetes, five to Mucorales and one to Coelomycetes. The richest taxa were Penicillium (34 species), Aspergillus (16 species) and Cladosporium (5 species). As a result of quantitative analysis, it was determined that there was average of 43,780 propagules of microfungi in a bulk of fresh burnt forest soil equivalent to 1 …


An Autecological Study On The Vitex Agnus-Castus L. (Verbenaceae)Distributed In West Anatolia, Yunus Doğan, Hasan Hüseyin Mert Jan 1998

An Autecological Study On The Vitex Agnus-Castus L. (Verbenaceae)Distributed In West Anatolia, Yunus Doğan, Hasan Hüseyin Mert

Turkish Journal of Botany

This study covers the investigation of the soil-plant relations of Vitex agnus-castus L. (Verbenaceae), a typical element of Mediteranean macchia vegetation. Soils collected from 38 different localitis in West Anatolia were analysed together with the V. agnus-castus plants from the same localities. This plant was observed to generally prefer loamy-textured, neutral and slightly alka-line soils, poor in calcium carbonate, containing varying amounts of organic matter, being rich or very rich in nitrogen, rich in phos-phorus and deficient in potassium. They grow on nonsaline soils. The relations between the results of soil and plant analysis were tested statistically, and correlation coefficient …
