The tribe Hyoscyameae (Solanaceae) is restricted to Eurasia and includes the genera Archihyoscyamus, Anisodus, Atropa, Atropanthe, Hyoscyamus, Physochlaina, Przewalskia and Scopolia. Even though the monophyly of Hyoscyameae is strongly supported, the relationships of the taxa within the tribe remain unclear. Chloroplast markers have been widely used to elucidate plant relationships at low taxon...

The legume family (Fabaceae) exhibits a high level of species diversity and evolutionary success worldwide. Previous phylogenetic studies of the genus Hedysarum L. (Fabaceae: Hedysareae) showed that the nuclear and the plastid topologies might be incongruent, and the systematic position of the Hedysarum sect. Stracheya clade was uncertain. In this study, phylogenetic relationships of Hedysarum ...

Eastern Asia (EA) is a key region for the diversification of flowering plants in the Northern Hemisphere, but few studies have focused on the biogeographic history within EA in the context of the other northern continents. Polygonatum is an important medicinal genus widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere with its highest species richness in EA, and it represents an excellent model for st...

Objective: This study determines the distribution of suicides according to years and seasons as well as the frequency of completed suicides in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Method: All suicides that resulted in death in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) between the years of 2010-2013 were included in the study.

We investigated restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) variation in the chloroplast DNA regions trnS and trnC in 53 populations of the herbaceous perennial Piriqueta caroliniana complex, encompassing its known North American range. The goals of this study were to expand the geographic range of a previous study and to determine the origin of an apparently anomalous population, which pos...
