Abstract The hexane extracts of eight Cephalaria (Dipsacaceae) species, which were collected from southwestern Anatolia, obtained by Soxhlet apparatus. fatty acids derived to methyl esters and determined gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) systems. dominant acid components maximum percentages detected as myristic [in C. joppica (17.48 %)], palmitic cilicica , elmaliensis isaurica scoparia (19.51 %), gazipashaensis ], linoleic (33.02...

The larvicidal activity of some lichen metabolites, (+)-usnic acid, atranorin, 3-hydroxyphysodic acid and gyrophoric against the second third instar larvae mosquito Culiseta longiareolata were studied. All metabolites caused high activities. When compared on basis their LC(50) values, order increasing toxicity was as follows: (0.41 ppm) > (0.48 atranorin (0.52 (0.97 ppm). However, when LC(90) values compared, (1.54 (1.93 (4.33 (5.63 In conclusion, our results found that secondary may have a...

A new species of Sarcinomyces, a melanized fungus with meristematic development, is described. On the basis small subunit and internal transcribed sequence regions ribosomal DNA sequencing, was accommodated in anamorph genus Sarcinomyces (Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales) close to S. petricola.

The Thysanoptera fauna of the Lakes Region Turkey was studied in 1990-1992. A total 3173 specimens from 397 samples were examined. study revealed 74 species and 45 them are new records for region. Three genera, namely Bregmatothrips Hood, Eremiothrips Priesner, Iridothrips Priesner; 5 species, dimorphus (Priesner), dubius taghizadehi (zur Strassen), iridis (Watson), Mycterothrips annulicornis (Uzel) Turkish fauna. previously unknown male (allotype) Rhipidothrips flavus Tunç discovered...

Two new Cephalaria Schrad. ex Roem. et Schult. species (Caprifoliaceae) from Turkey, davisiana Göktürk & Sümbül and sumbuliana Göktürk, are described illustrated. A map showing their distribution other related taxa is given. The morphological differences of the 2 discussed comparisons made with similar speciosa Boiss. Kotschy elmaliensis Hub.-Mor. V.A.Matthews. In addition to observations, C. davisiana, sumbuliana, elmaliensis, were analysed by applying RAPD-PCR techniques. RAPD methods...

Ten new endemic species are described from Anatolia: Astragalus chamberlainianus H. Sümbül, citriniflorus anamurensis turcicus Sümbül (Fabaceae), Cephalaria peshmenii gazipashensis (Dipsacaceae), Scorzonera longiana (Asteraceae), Alkaima angustifolia Alkanna milliana dumanii (Boraginaceae). The following two taxa recorded Turkey for the first time: Cirsium libanoticum DC. subsp. libanoticum. Euphorbia forsskalii (Boiss.) Gay.

The volatile composition of 10 endemic Cephalaria (Dipsacaceae) species (Cephalaria gazipashensis, lycica, paphlagonica, elmaliensis, stellipilis, scoparia, isaurica, cilicica, elazigensis var. purpurea and davisiana) was investigated. essential oil mixtures were obtained by steam distillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus. Twenty-eight components identified GC-FID GC-MS techniques. While total percentages ranged from 68.99% to 84.57%, the yields between 38.15% 64.05%. Geraniol, α-cedrene...

The first specimens of Allium elmaliense were collected in Elmal? (Antalya/Turkey) 2001 and described as new species 2004. However, was claimed synonym cyrilli 2006. This study undertaken to reveal the differences between these taxa utilizing morphological, palynological, chromosome characters genomic based on DNA analyses along with ecological preference studies conducted during 2006 2011. results clearly indicated two terms morphological characters, pollen, seed surfaces niche preferences....

A new species is described and illustrated from Turkey: Ornithogalum isauricum O.D. Du¸sen & H. Sumbul.

A new species from South Anatolia, Ornithogalum pamphylicum O.D. Dusen & H. Sumbul, is described and illustrated.

During a disease survey between 1999 and 2001, in the Antalya province of southern Anatolia, uredinia were observed on leaves fruits Alnus orientalis var. (Fagaceae). The symptoms infected spore morphology matched those described for Melampsoridium species (Roll-Hansen & Roll-Hansen, 1981; Kurkela et al., 1999). sori, which occurred lower side leaves, 3–5 mm diameter orange-yellow colour. Microscopic examination revealed uniformly echinulate urediniospores, measuring 21–35 × 10–16 µm....

A new species of Helichrysum Gaertn., H. orbicularifolium Sümbül, R. S. Göktürk & O. D. Düşen sp. nov., is described and illustrated. The restricted to the south Anatolia Province, Antalya, Turkey, growing in humid calcareous rock crevices on limestone cliffs. compared with closely related chasmolycicum.

A new Cephalaria species (Dipsacaceae), C. elazigensis R.S. Gokturk & Sumbul, is described from Elazig, East Anatolia. variety of this species, var. purpurea also the same area. The morphological differences taxa are compared with two related stellipilis and elmaliensis. Seed protein profiles elazigensis, purpurea, stellipilis, elmaliensis were analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). In addition, pollen structure was examined.

A new taxon of Glycyrrhiza L., G. flavescens Boiss. subsp. antalyensis Sumbul, O. Tufan, O.D. Du¸sen & R.S. Gokturk nov., is described and illustrated. The subspecies restricted to maquis Pinus brutia woodland. diagnostic morphologic characters that separate the present from closely allied are discussed.

Karyotypes in 16 representative taxa of the Ophrys genus are compared, based on Feulgen-stained somatic metaphase chromosomes. The karyotypes O. omegaifera subsp. israelitica, ulupinara, lycia, argolica lucis, lesbis, climacis and reinholdii described for first time. Karyological analyses indicate relationships among species with respect to their asymmetry indices. All studied were diploid 2n = 2x 36 One B chromosome has been detected chromosomes lucis. symmetrical, consisting metacentric...
