The Genus Crataegus L. (Rosaceae) With Special Reference To Hybridisation And Biodiversity In Turkey, Ali̇ Arslan Dönmez
The Genus Crataegus L. (Rosaceae) With Special Reference To Hybridisation And Biodiversity In Turkey, Ali̇ Arslan Dönmez
Turkish Journal of Botany
The genus Crataegus L. has approximately 200 species worldwide. However, the number of the species is increased to 1200 species by some taxonomists. Traditionally, the genus is placed in the subfamily Maloideae and it is closely related to the genera Pyracantha M.Roem., Mespilus L. and Hesperomeles Lindl. The latest phylogenetic analysis of the genus shows that it is closest to the genus Osteomeles Lind. Crataegus is divided into 40 sections by various taxonomists. The genetic diversity centre of the section Crataegus ranges from Turkey to Iran. According to field observations in Turkey, new diversity centres are proposed. The latest studies …
Life Strategies And Adaptations In Bryophytes From The Near And Middle East, Harald Kürschner
Life Strategies And Adaptations In Bryophytes From The Near And Middle East, Harald Kürschner
Turkish Journal of Botany
A review article on life strategies and ecomorphological adaptations (xerothalloid and xeropottioid life syndromes) of bryophytes is given, based on the hitherto known and analysed terrestrial, saxicolous and epiphytic communities of the Near and Middle East. The examples given impressively demonstrate common adaptive trends that arise convergently but independently in unrelated taxa when they evolve under similar habitat conditions. These functional types are important for the establishment, habitat maintenance and dispersal of species and indicate the relationships between site ecology, niche differentiation and species evolution. Their differentiation is a prime example of parallel evolution.
On The Distribution And Relationships Of The South-West Asian Species Of Eryngium L. (Apiaceae-Saniculoideae), Arno Worz
Turkish Journal of Botany
This paper deals with the Old World species of Eryngium L. which grow mostly in regions with a Mediteranean type climate. Two centres of diversity are visible: one in the Western Mediterranean (Iberian Peninsula, Morocco), and the other one in South-West Asia. Distribution maps are presented for several species from South-West Asia, which is probably the genus' most important centre of diversity. A preliminary new classification of the genus Eryngium is presented, including a new combination (Eryngium subgenus Fruticosum (Wolff) Wörz stat. nov.). Both the species and the sectional diversity are conspicuously present in Turkey, where 9 of 14 sections …

Origin And Maintenance Of Rhododendron X Sochadzeae, A Fertile F1 Hybrid Which Occupies An Ecotone Between R. Ponticum And R. Caucasicum In Turkey, Richard I. Milne, Sali̇h Terzi̇oğlu, Richard J. Abbott
Turkish Journal of Botany
Isolating barriers between sympatric interfertile species are maintained by processes that occur within their hybrid zones. Although the effects of intrinsic selection on hybrid fitness are well known, less is understood about extrinsic fitness variation. At Tiryal Dağı, NE Turkey, Rhododendron x sochadzeae Charadze & Davlianidze (R. ponticum L. x caucasicum Pall.) forms large populations in which neither segregation nor backcrossing occur, in habitats intermediate between those of its parents. Using single-copy species-specific RAPD and ISSR markers, it was determined that all R. x sochadzeae plants are F1s, and that there are many separate genets present. Through hand pollination experiments, …
The Sections Of Astragalus L. With Bifurcating Hairs In Iran, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
The Sections Of Astragalus L. With Bifurcating Hairs In Iran, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Turkish Journal of Botany
In this study Astragalus L. with bifurcating hairs in sectional levels in Iran are discussed (subgenus Cercidothrix Bunge). This subgenus has more than 800 species in the Old World. Major areas of species endemism for this subgenus occur in Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan. Iran, with 158 species, is one of the most important centres of diversity. Leucocercis Bunge is the only endemic section for Iran, although other sections have some species in different countries. Thus having a knowledge of the distribution quality in other areas is also important. In reality, this study is part of the author's research on …
Possibility Of An Information System On Plants Of South-West Asia With Particular Reference To The Turkish Plants Data Service (Tubives), M. Teki̇n Babaç
Possibility Of An Information System On Plants Of South-West Asia With Particular Reference To The Turkish Plants Data Service (Tubives), M. Teki̇n Babaç
Turkish Journal of Botany
For quick and accurate access to information about a flora of a country it is becoming increasingly important to develop databases. Databases developed and provided by international organisations are expensive to use and difficult to maintain without outside help. It is therefore important for developing countries to develop their own plant databases best suited to their requirements. One such example is the Turkish Plant Data Service (TUBIVES), designed by Turkish systematists. This database is described with some samples, and the possibility of creating a South-West Asian Plants Information Service (SWAP-IS) is briefly discussed.
Computer Technology For The Future Of Sw Asiatic Botany, R. J. Pankhurst
Computer Technology For The Future Of Sw Asiatic Botany, R. J. Pankhurst
Turkish Journal of Botany
Much computer software already exists for floristic and monographic studies. Database software can hold all the data required for a Flora, and can process it much more accurately. The fundamental data tables are those for names, authorities, people, specimens, bibliography, geography and distribution. To these can be added other data such as descriptions, keys, images, maps, chromosomes and vernacular names. The same data system can be used for collection management and making herbarium labels. It is very important to use data standards such as for books, journals and authorities. Computerised descriptions and keys can also be constructed and held in …

Rare Plants And Nickel Accumulators From Turkish Serpentine Soils, With Special Reference To Centaurea Species, Roger D. Reeves, Nezaket Adigüzel
Rare Plants And Nickel Accumulators From Turkish Serpentine Soils, With Special Reference To Centaurea Species, Roger D. Reeves, Nezaket Adigüzel
Turkish Journal of Botany
Recent exploration and collecting from areas of serpentine soils in western and central regions of Turkey have shown that there is still much to be discovered. This work has led to the identification of new species, the re-collection of very rare species, the recording of extensions to the known ranges of several species, and the discovery of new instances of Ni hyperaccumulation, in which plant species can accumulate this element to concentrations exceeding 0.1% of the dry weight of the plant. In Turkey, there has already been special interest in Ni accumulation by species of Aethionema R.Br., Alyssum L., Bornmuellera …

Turkish Journal of Botany
The pollen morphological characteristics of 21 species of Egyptian Malvaceae belonging to 10 genera: Abelmoschus Medik., Hibiscus L., Gossypium L., Lagunaria L., Abutilon Mill., Sida L., Malva L., Lavatera L., Alcea L. and Malvaviscus Cav., were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollens were examined and described in each genus. The results demonstrated that pollen morphological characteristics, principally pollen shape, size, aperture characters and exine sculpture and structure, are taxonomically important. The pollen results are discussed with reference to current systematic treatments of Malvaceae.
Value Of Trichome Characteristics For The Separation Of Bifurcating Hairy Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) At The Sectional Level, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Value Of Trichome Characteristics For The Separation Of Bifurcating Hairy Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) At The Sectional Level, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Turkish Journal of Botany
The attachment of hairs in sections of Astragalus L. may be either basal or lateral (bifurcate). This study focuses on Astragali with bifurcating hairs in the Old World (subgenus Cercidothrix Bunge). In this study, it appears that the ratio of hair arm length, and hair form and length are usually stable at the sectional level. The proposition of uniting some sections based on morphological characters is confirmed by hair characters; for example, uniting sections Tamias Bunge, Acantherioceras Rech. f. and Pseudoerioceras Ulzijchutag with Erioceras Bunge. The most important characters in the separation of the sections are macromorphological, but hair characters …
Jasione L. Taxonomy And Phylogeny, Fatima Sales, Ian C. Hedge, William Eddie, Jill Preston, Michael Moeller
Jasione L. Taxonomy And Phylogeny, Fatima Sales, Ian C. Hedge, William Eddie, Jill Preston, Michael Moeller
Turkish Journal of Botany
Jasione L., a genus with small flowers in compact ebracteolate heads subtended by involucral bracts, is very isolated in the Campanulaceae. It is mainly a Mediterranean-European genus with c. 15, mostly polymorphic, species, which show evidence of recent speciation, possibly as recent as the last glaciation. In the west of its distributional range, where the greatest morphological variation occurs, there has been much recent investigation on morphology, anatomy, phenetics, molecular evidence and nomenclature. This research has provided considerable evidence for a reduction in the number of taxa that should be recognised. On-going research is focused on more detailed molecular studies …
