Molecular Detection And Phylogenetic Analysis Of The Honeybee (Apis Mellifera) Sacbrood Virus In Turkey, Gülnur Kalayci, Abdurrahman Anil Çağirgan, Kemal Pekmez, Buket Özkan, Murat Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Sacbrood virus (SBV) is widely distributed in honeybees. It is an infectious and contagious disease, which affects both the larvae and adult stages of honeybees (Apis mellifera). This study reports the detection of sacbrood virus in Turkey in 2017. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial sequences encoding the polyprotein gene was carried out in SBV-infected bees from four different apiaries. Phylogenetic analysis revealed noteworthy results. Although European-South American, Asian, and Korean genotypes have a maximum of 5.3% variance with each other, the variation rates between them and the Turkish genotype were 10.4%, 11.4%, and 12.5%, respectively. Sequences of Turkish isolates did …


Fungal Dna Barcode (Its Nrdna) Reveals More Diversity Than Expected In Tulostoma From Macedonia, Katerina Rusevska, Franciso De Diego Calonge, Mitko Karadelev, María Paz Martín Jan 2019

Fungal Dna Barcode (Its Nrdna) Reveals More Diversity Than Expected In Tulostoma From Macedonia, Katerina Rusevska, Franciso De Diego Calonge, Mitko Karadelev, María Paz Martín

Turkish Journal of Botany

With the aim of clarifying the number of Tulostoma species in Macedonia, and to verify some previous collections, molecular analyses were carried out on four morphologically identified species collected in different habitats (at the edges of oak or juniper forests, pine plantations, meadows, rocky places, roadsides). Sixty-two new sequences were generated and compared with recently published sequences included in public databases. According to the barcoding sequences fourteen Tulostoma species are identified in Macedonia and ten of them were assigned to known species: Tulostoma brumale , T. fimbriatum/, T. lusitanicum, T. cf. moravecii, T. melanocyclum, T. punctatum, T. simulans, T. squamosum, …


Phylogenetic Placement, Floral Anatomy, And Morphological Characterization Of The North African Pastoral Halophyte Atriplex Mollis Desf. (Amaranthaceae), Abderrazak Tlili, Imed Sbissi, Faycal Boughalleb, Hassen Gouja, Teresa Garnatje, Joan Vallès, Mohamed Neffati Jan 2019

Phylogenetic Placement, Floral Anatomy, And Morphological Characterization Of The North African Pastoral Halophyte Atriplex Mollis Desf. (Amaranthaceae), Abderrazak Tlili, Imed Sbissi, Faycal Boughalleb, Hassen Gouja, Teresa Garnatje, Joan Vallès, Mohamed Neffati

Turkish Journal of Botany

Atriplex mollis Desf. (Amaranthaceae), a North African endemic halophytic species, is further described in this study. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combined dataset of ITS and ETS rDNA and atpB-rbcL and trnK cpDNA showed that A. mollis is closely related to the Malta- and Gozo-endemic Cremnophyton lanfrancoi Brullo & Pavone. Given this close phylogenetic relationship, A. mollis is also considered among the oldest species of Atriplex, together with C. lanfrancoi. Molecular data also suggest that A. mollis in North Africa, C. lanfrancoi on Malta Island, and Atriplex cana Ledeb.in Eurasian semideserts constitute a separate clade within the tribe Atripliceae. As …


Hedysarum Alamutense (Fabaceae-Hedysareae), A New Species From Iran, And Itsphylogenetic Position Based On Molecular Data, Haniyeh Nafisi, Shahrokh Kazempour-Osaloo, Valiollah Mozaffarian, Mohammad Amini Rad Jan 2019

Hedysarum Alamutense (Fabaceae-Hedysareae), A New Species From Iran, And Itsphylogenetic Position Based On Molecular Data, Haniyeh Nafisi, Shahrokh Kazempour-Osaloo, Valiollah Mozaffarian, Mohammad Amini Rad

Turkish Journal of Botany

Hedysarum alamutense, a new species in the tribe Hedysareae DC. (Fabaceae), is described and illustrated. It belongs to the traditionally recognized Hedysarum L. section Multicaulia (Boiss.) B.Fedtsch., which extends over the West Alborz Mountains in northern Iran. This species is characterized by greenish stems and corolla persisting in fruiting stage and has mostly 1?2-jointed, unarmed, biconvex pods with short hairs becoming bald early, and flattened margins. Phylogenetic analyses of molecular data clearly unite this species with H. formosum Fisch. & C.A.Mey. ex Basin. The new species is characterized by 4 singleton nucleotide substitutions, suggesting it as a distinct taxon. Phylogenetic …
