Turkish Journal of Botany
With over 40 species, almonds (Amygdalus L.) are among the most economically important Rosaceae fruit crops distributed in the Irano-Turanian region of southwestern and Central Asia and southeastern Europe. While Amygdalus is considered a separate genus in floristic treatments of Asian countries it is a subgenus or a section of Prunus L. s.l. in other treatments. Phylogenetic relationships of the Iranian wild almonds based on data from 2 nuclear and chloroplast spacers (nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnS-trnG) were constructed using the maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, and NeighborNet methods. Data from 2 nuclear and chloroplast spacers were congruent. …
Heavy Metal Accumulation And Genotoxicity Indicator Capacity Of The Lichen Species Ramalina Pollinaria Collected From Around An Iron Steel Factory In Karabük, Turkey, Demet Cansaran Duman, Ersi̇n Altunkaynak, Emi̇ne Sümer Aras
Turkish Journal of Botany
In the present work, Ramalina pollinaria (Westr.) Ach. specimens collected from around an iron steel factory in Karabük were analyzed due to their heavy metal accumulation by atomic absorption spectrometry. The specimens were also evaluated for pollution-induced DNA damage by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay. Genomic template stabilities were calculated from the changes in RAPD profiles and compared with heavy metal content in R. pollinaria. The results obtained from chemical analysis suggest that R. pollinaria is a particularly suitable lichen species for the detection of air quality. Results of RAPD assay showed significant differences in band patterns in R. …

Micropropagation Of An Antidiabetic Medicinal Plant, Artemisia Pallens, Varsha Nitin Nathar, Ghulam Mohiuddin Yatoo
Turkish Journal of Botany
Artemisia pallens Wall. is an important aromatic medicinal plant used as a folk remedy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The present study was initiated to explore in vitro propagation of Artemisia pallens using different explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with varying concentrations and combinations of growth regulators. Highest callogenic response (100%) was shown by shoot tip explants with 2 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The highest number of shoots (14.25 ± 1.65) and highest shoot length (4.25 ± 0.47 cm) were observed on MS medium with 3 mg/L kinetin. After 40 days, shoots grown in vitro were transferred …

Chilling Tolerance Of Cicer Arietinum Lines Evaluated By Photosystem Ii And Antioxidant Activities, Özlem Turan, Yasemi̇n Ekmekçi̇
Turkish Journal of Botany
Two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) lines (AKN 87 and AKN 290) that have different chilling susceptibilities were exposed to 2 chilling temperatures (4 and 2 °C), either cold-acclimated (10 °C) or nonacclimated (25 °C), in order to understand and compare physiological and biochemical changes at the vegetative stage. Chilling temperatures resulted in reduced growth parameters, particularly in cold-acclimated lines, whereas nonacclimated plants exhibited the lowest water contents. Cold acclimation treatment led to protective changes of increased flavonoid, proline, and antioxidant enzyme activities, mostly superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), in the lines. However, the 10 °C treatment did not …
Root Architecture Adaptation Of Pistacia Atlantica Subsp. Atlantica According To An Increasing Climatic And Edaphic Gradient: Case Of A North-South Transect In Algeria, Abdelkrim Limane, Noria Smail-Saadoun, Amel Belkebir-Boukais, Karima Kissoum-Hamdini
Turkish Journal of Botany
Despite xeric conditions, Pistacia atlantica Desf. subsp. atlantica (Atlas pistachio) succeeds in developing impressive dendrometric dimensions (25-m high, 2-m trunk diameter). It is among the rare spontaneous phanerophytes of the North African steppe. With access to water being the primary condition for survival, we focused on its root system. According to a gradient of increasing climatic and edaphic aridity in Algeria, we recorded different root architectures set up by this tree. We sampled its underlying soil and determined its main physico-chemical characteristics. Root architecture is mainly of the superficial type with more than 60% of roots located in the top …

Spatial Distribution And Soil Characteristics Of The Vegetation Associated With Common Succulent Plants In Egypt, Monier Abd El-Ghani, Ashraf Soliman, Reham Abd El-Fattah
Turkish Journal of Botany
The most succulent species-rich family in Egypt is Chenopodiaceae, followed by Aizoaceae and then Zygophyllaceae, Crassulaceae, and Orobanchaceae. The Sinai Peninsula and the Mediterranean regions include most of these succulent species, at 73.2% and 53.7%, respectively. A floristic data matrix (59 stands and 137 species) was subjected to classification by 2-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN). This yielded 8 vegetation groups. The most prominent groups were the Mesembryanthemum crystallinum-Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum group, the Anabasis articulata group, the Zygophyllum coccineum-Zilla spinosa group, and the Zygophyllum album group. The vegetation associated with the 5 most common succulent plants was analyzed, and variations in floristic …

Fungal specimens were collected and photographed between 2010 and 2013 around Trabzon. Ecological observations were made in the field, and the structures of pileipellis, basidia, spores, marginal cells, and hyphae were illuminated in the laboratory. Some dried specimens were compared with British collections in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Finally, Cortinarius parevernius Rob. Henry, Cortinarius tortuosus (Fr.) Fr., Entoloma euchroum (Pers.) Donk, Entoloma lividoalbum (Kühner & Romagn.) Kubicka, Hygrophoropsis morganii (Peck) H.E.Bigelow, Phaeocollybia festiva (Fr.)

Turkish Journal of Botany
The Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe var. pallasiana] is one of the subspecies of European black pine, growing naturally as a widespread mid-elevation species in the southern, western, and northern Anatolian Mountains of Turkey. Three well-recognized varieties [var. pallasiana, var. fastigiata Businsky with pyramidal form, and var. seneriana (Saatçioğlu) Yalt. with globular-shaped crown with multiple stems] occur naturally, but the studies on them are very limited. These 3 varieties of Anatolian black pine were sampled in natural stands where they coexist to determine evolutionary divergence in the species as well as its evolutionary relationships with …
Molecular Phylogeny Of Astragalus Section Anthylloidei (Fabaceae) Inferred From Nrdna Its And Plastid Rpl32-Trnl (Uag) Sequence Data, Kosar Naderi Safar, Shahrokh Kazempour Osaloo, Ali Asghar Maassoumi, Shahin Zarre
Turkish Journal of Botany
The phylogeny of Astragalus L. section Anthylloidei DC. and its interrelationship with allies were examined. The study was conducted using nrDNA ITS and plastid rpl32-trnL_{(UAG)} sequences. Astragalus sect. Anthylloidei is nonmonophyletic, and its members are scattered across the tree in 4 well-supported clades and intermixed with members of other spiny sections. All the multispecific informal groups of the section, with the exception of A. murinus Boiss. group, are not monophyletic. Morphological character evolution was mapped on the molecular tree. Our results suggest that morphology cannot elucidate infrageneric relationships in spiny Astragalus accurately; analyzed characters have evolved several times in sect. …

Cyanobacteria are expected to adjust to new conditions better than other primary producers since they have a long history of adaptation as one of the first organisms on earth. Their ecophysiological adaptations differ widely among cyanobacterial species. As a stratified species, P. rubescens forms a population in the metalimnion during summer months in lakes with clear water and disperses in the whole water column during the period. However, after a dry season in 2006 and 2007, a prolonged surface bloom in late winter was observed in Lake Sapanca The maximum biomass of P. rubescens reached 13.9 mg L^{-1} in surface …
