The genus Salix L. is represented by more than 500 species in the world. About 28 species of these are naturally found in Turkey. This genus has been commonly used as biomass production for energy, phytoremediation and pharmacological products. The traditional methods for identifying the species based on morphology are insufficient to classify them due to hybridization, reproductive isolation, and polyploidy. The objective of this study was to reveal the phylogenetic relationships of native willow species in Turkey by studying the evolutionary conserved partial-regions of chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal genome. The sequence data are obtained from chloroplast-encoded matK and nuclear-encoded ITS region of 18 Salix species (taxa). The molecular diversity and phylogenetic analyses were performed by the MEGA software. Sequence data of both matK and ITS regions revealed high number of variable sites and most of them were parsimony informative sites. Preliminary results from matK sequence data are largely consistent with morphological data. The analyses of the sequences result in separating Turkish Salix species into two well-supported groups, subgenus Salix and Vetrix. However, the phylogenetic tree constructed with ITS sequence data differs from the matK tree in regard to the taxa positions. Particularly, S. pseudomedemii and S. apoda are located in Subgenus Salix group instead of Subgenus Vetrix. Interspecific hybridization among Salix species may be one of the causes for position change of these taxa in ITS sequence based tree. The phylogenetic analyses with matK and ITS data have produced results that suggest complex evolutionary relationships among Turkish Salix species.

Genetic Diversity Pattern of Salix alba Populations in a Fragmented River Ecosystem in Eastern Mediterranean Özdemir Değirmenci, Funda; Acar, Pelin; Kaya, Zeki (null; 2016-01-13) The genus Salix L. is represented with more than 500 species in the world and 28 of species are found naturally in Turkey. The species of the genus have been widely used for bioenergy and phytoremediation. Salix alba like many other willow species is with great renewable energy potentiali and important component of an healthy riparian ecosystem as an indicator species in major river ecosystems in Turkey. With this study, it was aimed to provide information for efficient conservation, management and util...
Haplotype frequency analysis of Turkish Salix L. (Salicaceae), Kaya, Zeki (null; 2018-01-13) The genus Salix L. is represented by more than 500 species in the world where 27 species are naturally found in Turkey. This genus has been commonly used as biomass production for energy, phytoremediation and pharmacological products. The objective of this study is to estimate the haplotype frequency analysis of native willow species in Turkey. The sequence data are obtained from non-coding (trnL) and coding (matK and rbcL) cpDNA gene regions of Salix species (24 species and one hybrid). Results showed that...
Molecular phylogenetics of Turkish Abies (pinaceae) species based on matK gene regions of chloroplast genome Ateş, Mevlüde Alev; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2011) Pineacea is the largest family of conifers that includes 51 species of Abies which is the second largest genus after Pinus. There are six native taxa in Turkey belonging to this genus. Four of these taxa (Abies cilicica subsp. isaurica, Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana, Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, Abies x olcayana) are endemic and considered as low risk (LR) species according to the IUCN criteria. To determine the phylogenetic relationship in Abies spp. in Turkey, 18 populations of diffe...
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...
Phylogenetic differentiation of Aegilops and Triticum species by using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy Demir, Pinar; Önde, Sertaç; Ozgen, Murat; AVCI BİRSİN, MELAHAT; SEVERCAN, FERİDE (2012-11-01) Triticum and Aegilops species belong to the Poaceae family and show common morphological traits. These morphological common traits made it difficult to identify and name the concerned species. In addition there is great disagreement even in nomenclature of genomic make up. Therefore molecular identification of these species becomes the preferred approach. The study in concern aims to make a phylogenetic differentiation of 8 Aegilops and 4 Triticum species by using Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transfo...
