    In this study, the phylogenetic relationship of four species of Dianthus genus which are endemic and distributed in Türkiye, including D. zederbaueri Vierch, D. varankii Hamzaoğlu & Koç, D. halisdemirii Hamzaoğlu & Koç, and D. goekayi Kaynak, was determined using nuclear DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) rbcL regions. After sampling from the plant, DNA was extracted and the ITS (ITS4-ITS5A) and rbcL (rbcLaF-rbcLaR) primers were used to perform PCR amplification. Sequencer 5.4.6. was used to edit the sequences. MEGA 11 software was used to determine the nucleotide ratios, genetic distance matrix, and π = nucleotide diversity. Some species of Dianthus available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) were used to construct maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees. As a result, based on the ITS analysis π = nucleotide diversity was determined as: 0.001543, and the result of the rbcL analysis π = nucleotide diversity was determined as: 0.000000. In the ITS results, D. halisdemirii, D. superbus, and D. varankii appeared together, while D. zederbaueri and D. aculeatus appeared together. The rbcL results showed that D. zederbaueri and D. varankii were closely related, but the relationship between D. halisdemirii and D. goekayi could not be determined. Furthermore, in the phylogenetic tree constructed by taking the ITS and rbcL sequences of Dianthus, Gypsophila, Silene, Arenaria, Saponaria, Cerastium, Stellaria, Petrorhagia, Minuartia, Agrostemma, and Polycarpon species from NCBI using ITS and rbcL sequences, our endemic Dianthus species appeared in the same group with Petrorhagia, Gypsophila, and Saponaria species. To conclude, our ITS and rbcL results were consistent in determining the phylogenetic relationships of our Dianthus species with other species.

    DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis of endemic Astragalus nezaketiae and Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca (Fabaceae):Evidence from nrDNA ITS and cpDNA matK and rbcL sequences

    Paksoy, Mehmet Y.; Sevİndİk, Emre; Başköse, İsa

    In this study, we performed DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis using one nuclear (ITS) and two chloroplast DNA regions (matK and rbcL) of endemic Astragalus nezaketiae A. Duran & Aytaçand Vicia alpestris Stev. subsp. hypoleuca (Boiss.) Davis taxa in Turkey. PCR reactions were performed using universal primers. Sequences of the PCR products were edited using BioEdit and FinchTV software and contigs were obtained. All contigs were Blasted at NCBI and similarities were analysed. Using the MEGA 6.0 program, maximum likelihood trees were constructed including some sequences retrieved from NCBI. For Astragalus nezaketiae; in the ITS analysis, Astragalus nezaketiae appeared separately from other species, and for matK, Astragalus nezaketiae appeared together with Astragalus cicer L. However, rbcL tree was polytomic. For Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca; in ITS, rbcL and matK results Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca were found together with Vicia cracca L., Vicia benghalensis L. and Vicia villosa Roth species. Analysis of the combined data revealed similar results with all barcode regions for Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca while different phylogenetic results were obtained for Astragalus nezaketiae.
