The morphology and anatomy of Lathyrus cilicicus Hayek & Siehe (Fabaceae) were studied in order to understand the usefulness of these characteristics for systematics purposes. Lathyrus cilicicus is a Mediterranena element which grows in macchie, cornfields and cliffs in the central portion of the Mediterranean region of Turkey. An expanded and amended description of the species is given. In the study, anatomical features of the species are reported for the first time. Anatomical studies have been carried out on tranverse sections of roots, stems and leaves. Some anatomical characters such as the number of cortex and pith rays in the root, the number of collenchymatous cells in the stem and well developed sclerenchyma tissues in the leaf provide information of taxonomical significance.

Phylogenetic relationships of Elymus L. and related genera (Poaceae) based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequences
Dizkirici, Ayten; Kaya, Zeki; Cabi, Evren; Doğan, Musa (2010-11-23)
To help in the clarification of the taxonomic status of Elymus L. and related genera Agropyron Gaertn., Leymus Hochst., Hordelymus (Jess.) Harz, and Brachypodium P.Beauv., the sequence diversity in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA was studied. ITS data of 64 Triticeae accessions including 40 Elymus, 12 Agropyron, 7 Leymus, and 4 Hordelymus, and 1 Brachypodium as an out-group were analysed. The molecular diversity statistics indicated that the most diverse genus is Elymus...
Anatomy, trichome morphology and palynology of Salvia chrysophylla Stapf (Lamiaceae)
Kahraman, A.; Celep, F.; Doğan, Musa (Elsevier BV, 2010-4)
The anatomy, palynology, morphology and distribution of the trichomes on the aerial parts of Salvia chrysophylla Stapf, an endemic species in Turkey, were studied in order to understand the usefulness of these characteristics for systematic purposes. Some anatomical characters such as (1-)2-24-rowed pith rays in roots, dorsiventral leaves, obviously larger upper epidermal cells, and two to three large vascular bundles in the center and two to four small subsidiary bundles in the wings of petiole provide inf...

Çildir, Hüseyin; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2011)
In this study, morphology, anatomy and systematics of the Genus Lathyrus L. (Leguminosae) in Central Anatolia is presented. Comparative morphological characters and their variation in the Genus; Calyx, leaf, corolla and pollen grains micro-morphology of the species; Anatomy of the species; Ecology, endemism, phytogeography and IUCN threat categories of the species; Numerical analysis and Revision of the genus in Central Anatolia were conducted. For the first time the calyx, corolla and leaf micromorphology,...
Morphology, anatomy and trichome properties of Lamium truncatum Boiss. (Lamiaceae) and their systematic implications
CELEP, FERHAT; Kahraman, Ahmet; Atalay, Zeynep; Doğan, Musa (2011-02-01)
The anatomy, morphology and distribution of the trichomes on the aerial parts of Lamium truncatum Boiss. were studied in order to understand the usefulness of these characteristics for systematic purposes. L. truncatum is a Mediterranean element which grows on shady hedge banks, glades, Quercus coccifera L. macchie and forest at an altitude of 300-1650 m in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region of Turkey, western Syria, Palaestina and Israel. Some anatomical characters such as the distances of vascul...
