e found in two water frogs captured in Cyprus, the distribution area of P. cypriensis, nuclear alleles and mitochondrial haplotypes that are characteristic of An-atolian water frogs, Pelophylax cf. bedriagae. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA data strongly indicate that the ancestors of these two frogs did not arrive on Cyprus via a land bridge or overseas dispersal but were unintentionally introduced by humans, most probably together with carp fingerlings. Both individuals exhibited recombined nuclear genomes characteristic of backcross hybrids. Further investigations are need-ed to estimate the amount of introgression of allochthonous alleles into the gene pool of P. cypriensis.

Genetic divergence and evolution of reproductive isolation in eastern mediterranean water frogs
Plötner, Jörg; Uzzel, Thomas; Beerli, Peter; Akın Pekşen, Çiğdem; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Haefeli, Cornelia; Ohst, Torsten; Köhler, Frank; Schreiber, Robert; Guex, Gaston; Litvinchuk, Sn; Westeway, Rob; Reyer, Heinzulrich; Hotz, Hansjürg (Springer, 2010-01-01)
Water frogs [genus Pelophylax (Rana)] that occur around the eastern Mediterranean Sea provide an opportunity to study early stages of speciation. The geography of the eastern Mediterranean region has changed dramatically since the Middle Miocene as a result of motions of adjoining lithospheric plates and regional-scale vertical crustal motions (uplift and subsidence). For several hundred thousand years between 6 and 5 million years ago (Mya), the Mediterranean basin was isolated from the Atlantic Ocean, and...
Genetic structure of black pine (Pinus nigra ARNOLD subspecies pallasiana) populations sampled from the Bolkar Mountains
Tolun, AA; Velioğlu, E; Çengel, Burcu N; Kaya, Zeki (2000-01-01)
In order to determine the magnitude and pattern of genetic diversity among Anatolian Black pine (Pinus nigra ARNOLD subspecies pallasiana) populations sampled in Bolkar Mountains and to recommend the potential populations which may be suitable for in situ conservation of genetic resources in this species, isoenzymes from 14 enzyme systems were investigated by starch gel electrophoresis. For this reason, open pollinated seed megagametophytes of half-sib families originated from the four populations (Camliyay...
MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF SECTION DROSANTHE (SPACH) ENDL. (HYPERICUM L.)INFERRED FROM CHLOROPLAST GENOME
Dogan, Gulden; Yılmaz, Aslı; Bagci, Eyup; Kaya, Zeki (2017-12-01)
The phylogenetic relationships of Drosanthe section of Hypericum genus (Hypericaceae) were analyzed by using non-coding chloroplast DNA region (trnL 3'-trnF) for 58 individuals. The section is represented by 23 taxa and nine of which are endemic to Turkey. The chloroplast phylogeny suggested that the members of this section belonged to a polyphyletic group, which imply at least two independent origins. The individuals of this section clearly formed two main clades. One clade included all members of this sec...
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...
Genetic characterization of pear cultivars (Pyrus communis) in Çoruh river basin
Çoban, Abdulbaki; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019)
The genus Pyrus contains more than 20 different pear species which are used as food source, horticultural, and ornamental purposes. Overall, pear is the second most consumed pome fruit after apple. P. communis is the most cultivated pear species in Europe and Asia Minor. However, more than 10 species of genus Pyrus can be found naturally in Europe and Asia Minor. In this study, 8 P. communis populations (one wild and 7 cultivated) and 1 P. eleagnifolia population was used to reveal genetic structure of thos...
