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 several criteria. In order to evaluate the genetic structure of the taxon, non-coding trn and matK regions of choloroplast DNA (cpDNA) were sequenced. According to genetic diversity analysis of 15 Picea orientalis populations with respect to trn and matK regions, there is not much variation among populations. Among 3 non-coding trn and the matK region, there is only one variable site which was parsimony informative. The results indicated that the populations from Artvin had the highest divergence. In this study, the genetic divergence of Picea orientalis from other Pinaceae species were also observed. According to the results obtained from trnV region the studied Picea orientalis observed to display a close relationship with Larix and distinct from other Pinaceae especially Pinus genus. This result is unrepresentative due to the results of other studies. Moreover, as a result of analysis with trncd-ef region, the studied Picea orientalis populations possessed close relationship with species from clade Picea. Moreover, based on molecular clock estimations the studied Picea orientalis populations had close relationships with the species form Asia. Finally, the relationship of Picea orientalis with other Picea species were analyzed with respect to matK region. The result is consistent with the results of trncd-ef region and also with other studies.

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...
The phylogenetic analysis of pinus nigra arnold subspecies pallasiana varieties with respect to non-coding trn regions of chloroplast genome
Güvendiren Gülsoy, Aysun Demet; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2009)
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 Arnol...
Characterization of taxonomically related some Turkish oak (quercus l.) species in an isolated stand : a morphometric analysis approach
Aktaş, Caner; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2010)
The genus Quercus L. is represented with more than 400 species in the world and 18 of these species are found naturally in Turkey. Although its taxonomical, phytogeographical and dendrological importance, the genus Quercus is still taxonomically one of the most problematical woody genus in Turkish flora. In this study, multivariate morphometric approach was used to analyze oak specimens collected from an isolated forest (Beynam Forest, Ankara) where Quercus pubescens Willd., Q. infectoria Olivier subsp. boi...
A Numerical taxonomic study on the genus salvia l. (lamiaceae) in Turkey
Tiambeng, Deniz; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2015)
Widely used a medicinal plant, Salvia L. is the largest genus in the family Lamiaceae, with over 1700 species found in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Within this genus, almost 100 species are recognized in Turkey. To date, however, no comprehensive infrageneric treatment of Salvia in Turkey exists. The objective of this study was to propose a more natural infrageneric classification of the genus Salvia in Turkey by using the numerical taxonomic approach developed by Sneath and Sokal in 1973. In this...
Comparative molecular phylogenetics of Astragalus L. sections from Turkey with New World Astragalus species using nrDNA ITS sequences
Dizkirici, Ayten; EKİCİ, MURAT; Kaya, Zeki (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-01-01)
Comparative molecular phylogenetic study using nrDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) sequences was carried out on species from three Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) sections from Turkey (Old World species) and the New World. A total of 56 taxa (179 accessions) including 30 species from Incani DC., 15 species from Hypoglottidei DC. and 11 species from Dissitiflori DC. section were used in the current study. The total length of the ITS region was 642 bp with 56 (8.7 %) parsimony-informative and 9 insertion\...
