The genus Cyclamen is native to Turkey, where it is represented by 12 perennial tuberous geophytic taxa. In this study, a detailed anatomical description of all Cyclamen taxa found in Turkey is provided for the first time. Tuber, root, petiole, and leaf cross‐sections were stained with Astra blue and safranin, and tuber slides were also stained wit...
Fruit and seed morphology of 10 taxa of Iberis (Brassicaceae) from Turkey were investigated with stereo microscopy (SM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in order to understand and check their diagnostic significance at generic and spesific level. Fruits and seeds of Iberis species were photographed and examined to evaluate different characte...
Bu çalışma, arazi gözlemleri, herbaryum araştırmaları, taksonomik literatür, morfoloji ve palinoloji analizleri ışığında Türkiye'deki doğal olarak yetişen I. attica, I. carica ve I. spruneri taksonlarının morfolojisi ve taksonomisi hakkında önemli sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, I. carnosa türünün Türkiye'deki varlığı sorgulanmakta, literatürde...
In this study, it was aimed to compare the root, stem and leaf anatomies of two species belonging to the Frankeniaceae family including Frankenia hirsuta, which grows naturally in Turkey, and F. salsuginea, an endemic from Tuz Gölü, and to contribute to the taxonomy of the genus. The comprehensive anatomies of the two species are examined for the f...
Seed micromorphology of 18 taxa belonging to the genus Reseda (Resedaceae) in
Turkey were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in order to
understand and check its diagnostic significance at subgeneric and sectional level.
Seeds of Reseda species were photographed to evaluate different characteristics
including appearance of the se...
Reseda is an understudied genus regarding germination ecology. We studied the germination response of eight perennial
Reseda species to fire related cues by performing a germination experiment including two aqueous smoke treatments
(at 1:5 and 1:20 concentrations), one heat shock (100°C for 5 min.) treatment, and two corresponding controls. Smoke
s...
In this study we report the palynological properties of the genus Reseda, which is represented by eighteen native taxa in Turkey. In general terms, pollen grains are monad, isopolar, radially symmetrical, oblate-spheroidal to subprolate in equatorial view, circular in polar view, small or medium sized and tricolporate. Pollen grains of R. malatyana...
Taxonomical studies on the genus Reseda in Turkey were first undertaken as part of the revisionary work of Flora of Turkey. Although several successive updates were published in recent times, Reseda has not yet been studied in detail after that valuable previous work. In this context, the present contribution reports a revision of Reseda taxa occur...
In this study a new species from Turkey, Minuartia alpuensis (Caryophyllaceae), is described and illustrated, and its taxonomic relationships are discussed. The distribution of the new species, its ecology and conservation status are given, and an identification key is provided. Pollen structures of both new and related taxa are examined.
Iberis taxa natively found in Turkey are represented by eight species and are annual and/or perennial herbs or subshrubs. In this study, we provide a detailed anatomical description of Turkish Iberis taxa for the first time and try to solve the complexity of taxonomical uncertainties of the genus. Root, stem and leaf anatomies are investigated and...
This is a highly restricted endemic species only known from two populations in the eastern Taurus range in southern Turkey. Its area of occupancy (AOO) is only 8 km2. One of the two only known populations has been recently largely destroyed by roadworks. There are probably fewer than 30 mature individuals remaining. Its main current threat is the d...
Reseda balansae Müll. Arg. (Resedaceae) is a very restricted and endangered Turkish endemic species known only from Mersin province (South Turkey), in a hotspot of biodiversity. It was first collected in 1855, and subsequently described in 1857. Afterwards, it was only collected once again in 1896. In this study we report the rediscovery of these t...
