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 …
Proximate Composition, Chlorophyll A, And Carotenoid Content In Dunaliella Salina (Dunal) Teod (Chlorophycea: Dunaliellaceae) Cultured With Cost-Effective Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer Medium, Raghavan Gireesh
Turkish Journal of Botany
Growth, proximate composition, chlorophyll a, and carotenoid content were estimated in static cultures of micro alga Dunaliella salina (Dunal) Teod (Chlorophycea: Dunaliellaceae) to compare the quality and quantity of biomass produced with seaweed liquid fertilizer (SLF) against Walne´s medium. Culture of micro algae was performed with controlled temperature of 27 ± 1 °C, salinity of 33, and an irradiance of 120 ± 3 µ mol m^{-2} s^{-1}, and daily samples were taken to estimate the above-mentioned parameters.

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

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 …

Developmental Stages Of Ovule And Megagametophyte In Chenopodium Botrys L. (Chenopodiaceae), Abdolkarim Chehregani, Behrouz Malayeri, Nafiseh Yousefi
Turkish Journal of Botany
The ovule ontogenesis and the megasporogenesis stages in Chenopodium botrys L. were studied with light microscopy. Flowers and young pods were removed from natural plants and fixed in FAA 70, stored in 70% ethanol, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 7 µm with a microtome. Staining was carried out with Hematoxylin and Eosin and developmental stages of ovule were studied. The results of this research showed that ovule development, including megasporogenesis and initial stages of megagametogenesis, occurred while flowers were still in bud. In C. botrys the female gametophyte has a monosporic origin and the developmental pattern exhibited by this …

Phylogenetic Analyses Of Amaranthaceae Based On Matk Dna Sequence Data With Emphasis On West African Species, Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, Mark Chase
Phylogenetic Analyses Of Amaranthaceae Based On Matk Dna Sequence Data With Emphasis On West African Species, Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, Mark Chase
Turkish Journal of Botany
Comparative sequencing of the chloroplast matK coding and non-coding regions was used to examine relationship among the species of Amaranthaceae with emphasis on the West African species and other closely related family such as Chenopodiaceae, Portulacaceae, and Caryophyllaceae. Phylogenetic analysis of the matK sequences alone and in combination using maximum parsimony methods produced monophyletic lineage of Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae. Our results indicated that a polyphyletic Celosieae as sister to an Amaranthus-Chemissoa lineage. Subfamily Amaranthoideae is paraphyletic to the core Gomphrenoids. This study also shows that the polyphyly of Amarantheae is apparent and so is the polyphyly of Amaranthinae.

Nuclear And Non-Nuclear Interactions In F_1 Hybrid Populations Of Three Solanum Species In The Subgenus Leptostemonum,Section Melongena (Solanaceae), Olatunji A. Oyelana, K. Olusola Ogunwenmo
Turkish Journal of Botany
Reciprocal crosses involving Solanum gilo Raddi, S. anguivi Lam. and S. macrocarpon L., subg. Leptostemonum (Dunal) Bitter sect. Melongena Dunal were produced in order to assess inherent nuclear and non-nuclear influences on hybrid fitness, the extent of genomic change, and species compatibility. Hybrids expressed intermediacy and overlaps in leaf, petiole, petal, and plant height dimensions. Maternal influence was dominant in growth habit, leaf shape and texture, flower colour, and fruit size, while paternal control was limited to fruit colour in Solanum gilo × S. macrocarpon. Pollen viability was reduced from 97.3%-86.5% in parents to 53.8%-20.5% in hybrids. S. gilo × …

The Diversity And Ecology Of Epiphytic Lichens In “Evolution Canyon” Ii, Lower Nahal Keziv, Upper Western Galilee, Israel, Marina Temina, Mikhail P. Andreev, Sophia Barinova, Eviatar Nevo
Turkish Journal of Botany
Different populations of epiphytic lichens were studied in a microsite in Lower Nahal Keziv, Western Upper Galilee, Israel, which is designated as an "Evolution Canyon" (EC) II. In all, 24 lichen species from 5 orders, 11 families, and 17 genera were registered, about one third of them (7 species) for the first time in Israel. Species richness was higher on the warmer, drier, climatically more fluctuating and biotically more heterogeneous south-facing slope (SFS). Most lichens of EC II were mesophytic and photo-indifferent species; however, humid and shaded habitats of the north-facing slope (NFS) and valley bottom (VB) were characterised by …
