Selvi, Selami; Aladi, Hatice Inci; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz
The micromorphological and anatomical investigations on 6 taxa of Conringia Heist. ex Fabr. growing in Turkey were carried out. The anatomy of root, stem and leaves was examined in detail. In micromorphological studies stem and leaf surface of species was examined. Mesophyll type of lamina is dorsiventral (Conringia planisiliqua, C. persica, C. austriaca) and equifacial (C. clavata, C.grandiflora, C. orientalis). Stomata situated on both surfaces, are anisocytic and rarely anomocytic types. Crystals of calcium oxalate observed in only one species (C. grandiflora) was found to have cubic type parenchyma cells of the stem and leaf In micromorphological studies the surface of the stem and leaves were found to be glabrous. Epidermal surface of leaves was observed to be covered with waxy cuticular particles. Anticlinal walls of the adaxial cells are undulate and rarely straight and anticlinal walls of abaxial epidermis are undulate and rarely sinuate. Periclinal walls were found to be covered with upper waxy layer which was flat. A diagnostic key based on combined stem, leaf and leaf epidermal characteristics are presented. The leaf mesophyll structures, stem vascular bundles number, lignified or unlignified of sclerenchyma, epidermal surface and absence or presence of crystals were found to be important characters for the identification of Conringia species.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2017Scopus SJRQ4COMPARATIVE MICROMORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF CHRYSOCHAMELA (FENZL) BOISS. (CRUCIFERAE) GROWING IN TURKEY
Çakilcioglu, Ugur; Paksoy, Mehmet Y.; Babacan, Ebru Yuce; Polat, Ridvan
The micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of three species of Chrysochamela genus have been comparatively presented by using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The micromorphological studies are related to the epidermal and seed surface. In anatomical studies, cross sections of the stems and leaves were examined and biometric measurement of cell and tissues were made. The stem and leaf anatomy of the genus were described. In addition, the stomatal index rate and stomatal index of these species were calculated. The leaf is dorsiventral in mesophyll-type. Except its C. noeana taxon, stellate trichomas are coincided in other taxon. Stoma can be observed on both sides of the leaf. Whereas stoma index rates of this genus were found in the range of 0.7 - 1.2, stoma types were observed as aniocytic and anomocytic. Seed surface of the genus can be found in reticulate, verrucae or in verrucaerugose types. In conclusion, the presence/absence of trichome over stem and leaves, the presence/absence of collenchyma in middle the vascular region, the seed shape, epidermal cell shape, and the characteristics of anticlinal boundaries and periclinal cell walls were found to be the important characters for identification of the Chrysochamela genus.

Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz; Polat, Ridvan; Çakilcioglu, Ugur
Kundmannia Scop. is a genus of the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family which consists of 463 genera and ca. 3500 species. Kundmannia belongs to the Oenantheae tribe and are well represented in Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Syria and North Africa where they grow on calcareous or siliceous soils. In this study; fruit micromorphology and the vegetative anatomy of the Kundmannia species growing in Turkey were compratively examined for the first time. The anatomical sections were taken from the stem, ray, leaf and and petiole of the plants for taxonomic deduction. Various tissues of taxa were given comparative micro anatomical measurements according to the anatomical studies, lignified or non-lignified medullary rays in stems, stomata types (diacytic and anomocytic), stomata index ratio (0.58 - 0.7), fruit shape and fruit epidermal surface are considered as important anatomical characters. In the fruit micromorphology, the cells on the mericarp surface have seen as striate and rugulate while the surface between the two ribs in the species have observed rugulate or striate. Fruit micromorphology and vegetative anatomy of the genus Kundmannia has not been studied before. However, the anatomical structure of the genus has been elucidated in this study, for the first time.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz; Yildirim, Numan; Yuce, Ebru
This study was aimed at screening the total antioxidant status (TAS) of genus Ricotta L. and some Grammosciadium L. from Turkey in order to find new potential sources of natural antioxidants. The TAS level of a total of 12 plant extracts from non-edible plant materials was examined. According to the results, hexanic extract of R. sinuata plant exhibited the lowest antioxidant status (2.41 mmol Trolox equivalent/l). The highest TAS level was determined in ethanolic extract of the G. daucoides (4.36 mmol Trolox equivalent/l). As a result, due to its antioxidative properties, ethanolic extract of G. daucoides can be utilized as a natural source of antioxidants.

Bayirli, Mehmet; Selvi, Selami; Cakilcioglu, Ugur
Fractal dimensions of leaves from Cercis canadensis L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Amelanchier arborea (F. Michx.) Fernald, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, Quercus alba L., Carpinus caroliniana Walter, Ficus carica L., Morus rubra L., Platanus orientalis L., and Ulmus rubra Muhl. were calculated. The values were then confirmed and compared by those obtained from box-counting method and the exponent values of density-density correlation function (first time in the literature). It is now proposed for the first time that there is a relationship between a fractal dimension of the leaf and a surface density of the image and was concluded that together with other measures, the fractal dimensions with surface density function could be used as a new approach to taxonomical study of plants.

Selvi, Selami; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz
The present paper deals with a comparative anatomy of stem and leaf of Ricotia species growing in Turkey. In addition, stomatal index and rate of these species were calculated. A diagnostic key based on combined stem, leaf and leaf epidermal characteristics were presented. The presence or absence of trichome, cortex parenchyma layer, sclerenchyma, mesophyll structure and epidermal surface were found to be important characters for the identification of Ricotia species.
