In their natural habitats, different mechanisms may contribute to the tolerance of halophytes to high soil salinity and other abiotic stresses, but their relative contribution and ecological relevance, for a given species, remain largely unknown. We studied the responses to changing environmental conditions of five halophytes (Sarcocornia fruticosa, Inula crithmoides, Plantago crassifolia, Junc...

Th e term “planta hortifuga“ refers to all cultivated plant species that have escaped from cultivation and grow spontaneously in diff erent natural, semi-natural or manmade habitats. List of “planta hortifuga” (Tab.1) consists of 120 taxa. Traits are given for each species: Raunkiaer’s life-form groups, taxonomic rank (family and species), geographical origin, use value, invaded habitat, invasi...

Anadolu adaçay? (Salvia fruticosa), Lamiaceae familyas?na ait bir bitki olup, Anadolu’da geleneksel halk hekimli?inde yayg?n olarak kullan?lmaktad?r.

Floral scent has been thought to play a critical role in the obligate pollination–seed consumption mutualism between Breynia (Phyllanthaceae) species and Epicephala moths. The two closely related species, B. fruticosa Rostrata are jointly pollinated by same moth (E. lativalvaris E. mirivalvata), which led an pollination of ‘two-to-two’ specificity. However, empirical data on host floral volatil...

The ethyl acetate extract of roots of Tephrosia candida afforded three new spirorotenoids belonging to a new class of spirocompounds, named tephrospirolactone, tephrospiroketone I, and tephrospiroketone II. The structures of these compounds were determined mainly based on spectral analysis. The only known spirorotenoid described in the literature is amorphispironone, isolated from Amorpha fruti...

Gene flow, natural selection and genetic drift are processes that play a major role in shaping the genetic structure of natural populations. In addition, genetic structures of individual populations are strongly correlated with their geographical position within the species distribution area. The highest levels of genetic variation are usually found in the centre of a species' distribution and ...

Doğal ve zengin besin içeriği nedeniyle tarımda deniz yosunu uygulamalarına olan ilgi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bu nedenle uygulamalarının kullanım alanı dozları ile ilgili çalışmaların yaygınlaştırılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Özellikle adaçayı gibi tıbbi aromatik bitkiler sınıfına giren bitki türlerinde doğal içerikli ürünlerin kullanımı önemlidir. Anadolu (Salvia fruticosa Mill.), diğer tü...
