Understanding genetic relationships and diversity among species is crucial for unraveling evolutionary processes, ecological interactions, and conservation strategies. DNA sequence analysis serves as a powerful tool in this endeavor. This study focuses on the Thymus genus, a collection of notable species, to investigate its genetic framework. Lever...

DNA barcoding is a molecular approach for species identification and germplasm conservation in the Origanum genus. This study proposes a DNA-based method to accurately identify the numerous species within this diverse genus. Four chloroplast genes (matK, rbcL, rpoB, trnL) and a non-coding sequence (psbA) were analyzed. Among the applied barcoding l...

Turkey is one of the world's nations with the greatest flora diversity. Moreover, it possesses a high level of plant genetic diversity. Garden Grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) is one of the most important fodder species used during cool seasons since it is a hardy and perennial plant. The identification of Orchardgrass cultivars is essential for maxim...

Soil salinity is a significant abiotic factor that negatively affects the growth and yield of many plants. Separately, biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus contributed positively to salt-stressed plant growth. To alleviate salinity stress and promote pepper growth, biochar and mycorrhiza are rarely researched together. In this work, the effect...

Coriander, Coriandrum sativum L., is an important medicinal plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, which is grown in many parts of Turkey. In this study, seven Turkish coriander varieties (Antakya, Arslan, Erbaa, Gurbuz, Kerkuk, Kudret-K, and Pelmus) were examined for phylogenetic relations using two ITS region (ITS4–ITS5) sequence information and...

Abstract Okra is a widely grown vegetable crop in various regions of the world and provides signifcant amounts of vitamins and minerals. Numerous researchers have documented the efcacy of phenotypic and molecular classifcation of the diverse okra germplasm collections found throughout the world. The genetic variation of Turkish okra germplasm, whic...

Coriandrum sativum L. is the spices plant that using as medicinal plant including essential oil, belonging to the family Umbelliferae/Apiaceae. Its various chemical components in different parts are useful as antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidative. Therefore, plays an important role in preserving the shelf life of foods by preventing their spo...

Coriandrum sativum L. is the spices plant that used as medicinal plant including essential oil, belonging to the family Umbelliferae/Apiaceae. Its various chemical components in different parts are useful as antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidative. Therefore plays a major role in preserving the shelf life of foods by preventing their spoilage....

The main purpose of plant breeders is to develop efficient genotypes that are high and stable under drought stress. Tir wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp vulgare Vill. v. leucospermum Korn) is mostly of a mixed population and it grows rapidly after germination, which minimizes yield losses caused by late planting. Because it has a long coleoptile it...

This research was conducted to determine the effect of changes of certain minerals (Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) in salicylic acid doses on different wheat varieties (Dogu-88, Altay-2000, Bezostaya-1, Alparslan and Tir mixed population) in drought stress. Drought was created in plants by irrigating 40% of field capacity. It was found that plants were di...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L., Lamiaceae), an important medicinal plant and culinary herb due to its delicate aroma and fragrance, shows great variation in both morphology and essential oil components. Genetic variation among basil accessions in Turkey has not been extensively examined with molecular markers. Genetic diversity was determined usi...

Hypericum perforatum L. is a pharmaceutically important medicinal plant with antidepressant, antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer effects of its metabolites. The hypericin contents and genetic structures of superior H. perforatum clones were identified by spectrophotometric analysis and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, respective...

Turkish oregano (Origanum onites L.) is a major aromatic plant that belongs to Labiatae family. In this work fourteen Turkish oregano clones have been characterized chemically and genetically. Essential oil obtained by hydro-distillation was characterized by gas chromatography. Genetic variation was determined by use of random amplified polymorphic...
