The thirty species involved in six Astragalus sections were studied not only to understand phylogenetic relationships and also to estimate evolutionary divergence times by using the DNA sequences of cpDNA (chloroplast) and nDNA (nuclear) regions. The results showed that the DNA sequences of ITS nr (nuclear ribosomal) region had with the highest genetic diversity. Based on all studied regions, Poterion section was the most diverge section than others while Megalocystis and Halicacabus sections were the closest ones. Moreover, A.vaginans from Hymenocoleous section was located also close to Hymenostegis section but always in different branch. It is notable that, A.dipodurus and A.oleaefolius species from Macrophyllium section placed in a different sub-branch in all phylogenetic trees constructed by both studied cpDNA and nDNA regions. iv To understand the phylogenetic relationships among the Turkish Astragalus species and in other regions of the world, DNA sequences of studied regions and foreign samples obtained from NCBI database were analyzed together. Turkish species formed a separated cluster, but close to Old world species in the phylogenetic trees of both trnL, matK and ITS regions. Moreover, some Old world species like Chinese, Australian and Korean were in close association with New world species. From all these results, it can be said that although Turkish species were derived from an independent diversity cluster. Evolutionary divergence time for Astragalus genus was estimated. All analysis depicts that studied sections of Astragalus genus that are native to Turkey were diverged from other New and Old world ones at Pleistocene period. According to two different cpDNA regions (trnL and matK), results indicated that Poterion section appeared to be newly diverged from other sections of Turkish Astragalus sections.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses of Juniperus L. species in Turkey and their relations with other junipers based on cpDNA Güvendiren, Aysun Demet; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2015) Evolutionary relationships within and among two sections and three subsections of Juniperus species (Section Juniperus, subsections Juniperus, Oxycedrus and Caryocedrus, Section Sabina) naturally distributed in Turkey were investigated with molecular variations of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). This study revealed the phylogenetic relation of 66 individuals from 7 native Turkish Juniperus L. species based upon DNA sequence of trnL intron (trnL5’-L3’) , trnL3’- F(GAA) (trnL-F intergenic spacer), trnV intron and ma...
Evolutionary relationships among Astragalus species native to Turkey Dizkırıcı, Ayten; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2012) Evolutionary relationships within and among three Astragalus sections (Incani DC., Hypoglottidei DC., and Dissitiflori DC.) that were native to Turkey were inferred from variations of nucleotide sequences of both chloroplast and nuclear genome regions. In the current study, Fifty-six species included in the three Astragalus sections were utilized to figure out phylogenetic relationships and estimate evolutionary divergence time based on DNA sequence of trnL intron (trnL5’-L3’) , trnL3’-F(GAA) (trnL-F interg...
Molecular phylogenetics of Turkish Salix L. species Acar, Pelin; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2017) Chloroplast (trnT-F, matK and rbcL) and nuclear genome (ITS) regions were used to explore the evolutionary relationships of Salix species which are native to Turkey. Morphological analysis with the utilization of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also carried out. Such a combined sequence data from cpDNA and nrDNA genes enabled reliable subgenus-level classification of Turkish willows (subgenus Salix and Vetrix). Morphological and genetic results agree with traditional taxonomic concepts in clustering ...
Genetic structure of modern and ancient swordfish populations from coasts of Turkey Yüncü, Eren; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2017) In this study, partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and 8 microsatellite loci of swordfish collected from Northern Levantine Sea and Northern Aegean Sea were analyzed. Also same mtDNA region of ancient swordfish samples unearthed from Yenikapı excavation were sequenced. Obtained sequences were evaluated comparatively with the sequences from Balearic Sea, Ligurian Sea, Ionian Sea and Southern Aegean Sea, available in databases. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed a significant differentiation between We...
MTDNA based genetic diversity of native sheep breeds and Anatolian mouflon (Ovis Gmelini Anatolica) Demirci, Sevgin; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Bioinformatics (2012) In the present study, history of domestic sheep were investigated by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based haplogroups (HPG) of 628 samples and mtDNA control region (CR) sequences of 240 samples from 13 Turkish sheep breeds which were located in the hearth of the first domestication center. Also, 30 Anatolian wild sheep (Ovis gmelinii anatolica) mtDNA CR sequences were obtained to contribute to the scenarios on initial domestication stages of sheep. Haplogroup compositions of breeds were identified with SSCP meth...
