More than half of the Pinaceae is including in genus Pinus covers the large parts of vegetation of northern hemisphere. The Anatolian Black Pine is one of the subspecies of European Black Pine, growing naturally as a widespread mid elevation species of Taurus, western Anatolian and northern Anatolian Mountains of Turkey. Although it is disputed that there are 5 varieties of Anatolian black pine but three of these are well recognized. These are Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana var. pallasiana, Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana var. pyramidata (pyrimidal black pine) and Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana var. seneriana. To determine the genetic relationship between Anatolian black pine and its well recognized varieties, 3 different taxa of Anatolian black pine (well recognized varieties) were sampled in the natural range of species and non-coding trn regions of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) were sequenced to assess the genetic structure of the species. Three sectors of trn region were examined. Analysis was assessed with using MEGA version 4.0 and Arlequin 2.000 softwares. Considering genetic diversity of three Anatolian black pine taxa with respect to trn regions and parsimonic sites, the result showed that P. nigra subsp pallasiana var seneriana was more polymorphic than other two taxa. Also, the most distant taxon that show differences in trn sequences when compared to other taxa was P. nigra subp pallasiana var pyramidata. The constructed phylogenetic tree showed that individuals of P.nigra subsp pallasiana var pyramidata were grouped together. However, other two taxa showed a dispersed allocation in the tree. This result indicates that var pyramidata was the most distant taxon. According to present study, there is no clear speciation between varieties and var pallasiana. The differences between them may be a result of mutation which may have occured in the genes coding for growth and form of Anatolian black pine.

Genetic differentiation of Liquidambar Orientalis Mill. varieties with respect to matK region of chloroplast genome Özdilek, Aslı; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2007) Liquidambar L. genus is represented with mainly 4 species in the world and one of these species, Turkish sweet gum (Liquidambar orientalis Mill.) which is a relictendemic species is naturally found in only southwestern Turkey, mainly in Muğla Province. The limited distribution of species with two disputed varieties (var. integriloba Fiori and var. orientalis) and increased anthropogenic threats to its genetic resources signify the importance of studying genetic diversity in the species to have better conser...
The phylogenetic analysis of picea orientalis populations from northeastern Turkey with respect to non-coding trn and matk regions of chloroplast genome Gülsoy, Ali Murat; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2011) The genus Picea is located from temperate to Taiga (boreal) regions of northern hemisphere from subtropical to high altitude with 34 species. Picea orientalis is endemic to Eastern Black Sea Mountainous region of Turkey and Western Caucasus. To determine the genetic relatedness within Picea orientalis populations, as well as the relationship between other Pinaceae species from database, populations were sampled from 15 different locations within the natural range of species and grouped into 5 depending on s...
Estimation of demography and seasonal habitat use patterns of anatolian mouflon (ovis gmelinii anatolica) in Konya Bozdag protection area using distance sampling Özdirek, Lütfiye; Kence, Aykut; Department of Biology (2009) The Anatolian mouflon (Ovis gmelinii anatolica) is an endemic ungulate subspecies and of IUCN Vulnerable status that inhabits Konya-Bozdag region located in Central Anatolia. In this thesis, the demography and habitat use of the only natural population of Anatolian mouflon at Konya-Bozdag Provice is studied. Throughout the study, distance sampling techniques, specifically line transect sampling, are used to estimate density, size and growth rate of this population. Sex, age and count data are used to estima...
Evaluation of salt tolerance in sto transformed Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum plants Selçuk, Feyza; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biology (2004) Salinity is one of the limiting factors of crop development. Together with causing water loss from plant tissues, salinity also leads to ion toxicity. Under salt stress, increase in Ca+2 concentration in cytosol can decrease the deleterious effects of stress. The binding of Ca+2 to calmodulin initiates a signaling cascade involving the activation of certain transcription factors like STO and STZ. This signal transduction pathway regulates transport of proteins that control net Na+ influx across the plasma m...
Molecular phylogenetic position of Turkish abies (pinaceae) based on noncoding trn regions of chloroplast genome Özdemir Değirmenci, Funda; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2011) Abies is the second largest genus of family Pinaceae (after Pinus), consisting of about 51 species, all native to the Northern Hemisphere. There are six native taxa belonging to this genus growing in pure and mixed stands in Turkey. Abies cilicica subsp. isaurica, Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana, Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, Abies x olcayana are endemic and considered as lower risk (LR) species. To determine the genetic relationships in Turkish firs, 18 populations of different subspecie...
