Turkey is located in the region where the species belonging to the Plumbaginaceae family mostly spread and it also hosts important endemic species. This study aimed to carry out the leaf micromorphological characteristics of the species belonging to the Plumbaginaceae family collected from Turkey. In this study, the surface micromorphology of the dried leaf samples of 9 Limonium, 3 Acantholimon, 2 Armeria and 1 Plumbago species were collected by different researchers from all over Turkey and kept at the Plant Systematics Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Middle East Technical University, Ankara were examined by using Scanning Electron Microscope. The data of stoma sizes and density, trichome sizes and density were collected.

Comparative sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 2 region of Turkish red pine (pinus brutia ten.) and natural aleppo pine (pinus halepensis mill.) populations from Turkey
Tozkar, C. Özge; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2007)
Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) is wide-spread and an important forest tree species in Turkey, occurring mainly in southern, western and north-western Turkey and as small isolated populations in the Black Sea region. Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) has naturally found only in Adana and Muğla provinces as small population in mixture with Turkish red pine. Although Turkish red pine and Aleppo pine are morphologically different, Turkish red pine has been regarded as subspecies of Aleppo pine by some taxonomists...
Türkiye’deki Söğüt Türlerinin Moleküler Filogenetiği ve Ekonomik Açıdan Önemli Olan Türlerin (Salix alba & Salix excelsa) Islahına Yönelik Gen Kaynaklarının Karakterizasyonu
Duman, Hayri; Kaya, Zeki(2017)
Ülkemizde doğal olarak 27 Salix türü yayılış göstermekte, teşhisinde problemlerbulunmaktadır. Projenin ilk iş paketi kapsamında doğal olarak bulunan söğüt türleri arasındakigenetik ilişkiyi belirlemek için Türkiye bazında örneklenerek, kloroplast genomunun matK,rbcL ve tRNA ile çekirdek genomundaki rDNA ITS bölgelerinin DNA dizileri çoğaltılarakkarşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir.Türkiye?deki Söğüt türleri hem kloroplast hem deçekirdek verilerine göre monofiletik yapıda olup filogenetik ağaçda, iki ana...
Genetic diversity pattern in Populus Nigra populations of two major river systems in Turkey
Çiftçi, Asiy; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2019)
European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is an important tree species in terms of social, economic and ecological interest in Turkey. Although, poplar plantations in large areas meet the needs of the economy, the natural genetic resources of the species have been highly degraded due to anthropogenic effects and natural biological events. To assess genetic diversity structure of natural populations, 124 naturally distributed European black poplar trees from two major rivers (Kızılırmak and Göksu) in Turkey w...
Morphological variation in Hemigordius harltoni Cushman & Waters, 1928: Remarks on the taxonomy of Carboniferous and Permian hemigordiopsids
Altıner, Demir; Ozkan-Altiner, S (2003-06-01)
Nine morphotypes recognized within its population suggest that Hemigordius harltoni is a polytypic species. Narrowly discoidal to discoidal morphotypes are dominant in the population whereas lenticular ones are rare and sporadic. The degree of morphological variation in H. harltoni prompts us to question the validity of several previously named Carboniferous and Permian taxa. The definition of these taxa, generally based on few specimens, is far from being satisfactory to describe the intraspecific variabil...
Genetic diversity and population structure of Salix alba across river systems in Turkey and their importance in conservation management
Özdemir Değirmenci, Funda; Çiftçi, Asiye; Acar, Pelin; Kaya, Zeki (2022-03-01)
Background Salix alba is a pioneer species of river ecosystems throughout Turkey. Its genetic diversity and population structure across these ecosystems is currently unknown. Aims We investigated genetic diversity in Turkish S. alba to assess factors likely to shape the genetic structure of the species and to assist with conservation recommendations. Methods Six hundred and forty-six individuals from 10 major river systems in Turkey were genotyped using 15 microsatellite markers. Between one and five sub-po...
