El objeto de esta Tesis Doctoral ha sido el estudio taxonómico del género Centaurea, cuya diversidad y complejidad en el territorio es alta, por lo que se ha restringido a la sección Seridia (Juss.) DC. y, atin así, el estudio ha requerido 4 años de dedicación para su finalización. La iniciativa se inscribe en el Proyecto Flora iberica, financiado en la actualidad por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad. El estudio ha entrañado la realización de numerosas prospecciones en el campo, necesarias para poder abordar aspectos importantes, tales como los estudios cariológicos, palinológicos y moleculares, todos encaminados a apoyar la slntesis taxonómica, que ha requerido además de un exhaustivo estudio de material conservado en herbarios nacionales e internacionales.

(Asteraceae) Taxa from Turkey Neslihan Tasar1, Gulden Dogan2* and Yasar Kiran2 1 Munzur University, Tunceli Vocational School, Department of Organic Agriculture, Tunceli, Turkey 2 Firat University, Science Fac., Biology Department, Elazig, Turkey Received March 29, 2018; accepted May 1, 2018 Summary The somatic chromosome numbers and karyotypes were examined in seven species of genus Cen- taurea L. distributed in Turkey. The chromosome numbers were determined as 2n=2x=16 in C. behen L. and C. solstitialis L.; 2n=2x=18 in C. cynarocephala Wagenitz and C. agregata Fisch. & Mey. ex DC. ssp. agregata; 2n=2x=20 in C. iberica Trev. ex Sprengel; 2n=2x=26 in C. balsamita Lam.; 2n=4x=36 in C. virgata Lam. All of the chromosomes had centromeres at median point (M), median region (m), and submedian region (sm). Sat- ellite chromosomes (sat-chromosomes) were observed only in C. virgata. The findings for each of the analyzed taxa are compared each other and with the results of previous studies. Key words Asteraceae, Centaurea, Chromosome number, Karyotype, Turkey.

No attempt at phylogenetic reconstruction has been made since recent revisions in circumscription, and previous reconstructions did not include a good representation of species. A new molecular survey is thus needed. Methods Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) 1 and 2 and the 5.8S gene. Parsimony and Bayesian approaches were used. Key Results A close correlation between geography and the phylogenetic tree based on ITS sequences was found in all the analyses, with three main groups being resolved: (1) comprising the most widely distributed circum- Mediterranean/Eurosiberian sections; (2) the western Mediterranean sections; and (3) the eastern Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian sections. The results show that the sectional classification in current use needs major revision, with many old sections being merged into larger ones.

  • Systematic Implications of Achene Characteristics in Genera Centaurea L., Cyanus Mill., Psephellus Cass. and Rhaponticoides Vaill
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 22(2): 125-136, 2015 (December) SYSTEMATIC IMPLICATIONS OF ACHENE CHARACTERISTICS IN GENERA CENTAUREA L., CYANUS MILL., PSEPHELLUS CASS. AND RHAPONTICOIDES VAILL. (ASTERACEAE) 1 MEHMET BONA Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Keywords: Achene; Asteraceae; Scanning Electron Microscopy; Taxonomy. Abstract This study examines the exomorphic achene characteristics of 23 taxa belonging to Centaurea, Cyanus, Psephellus and Rhaponticoides in Asteraceae using light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The exomorphic characteristics studied are shape, size, colour and surface pattern of achene, and hair, length and colour of pappus. The results of the present investigation showed that achene size of the studied taxa is 3–7 × 1–4 mm. Pappus length is 1–14 mm, deciduous for three taxa and inner row is differentiated from the outer, 1–3 mm long, for 10 taxa. SEM studies showed eight different types of achene surface patterns for the studied taxa: Glebulate, glebulate-ruminate, reticulate, ribbed, ruminate, smooth, smooth-glebulate and undulate. Achene characteristics are useful for both intrageneric and intraspecific classification of the studied taxa. Introduction Morphological and anatomical studies on fruit and seed structure play an important role in systematics (Kumar et al., 2012). Microstructural details of the seed and fruit coat enable the distinguishing of taxa or the discovery of their affinities. This is especially useful for families in which the identification of particular taxa is complicated (Kumar et al., 2012; Bona, 2013; Piwowarczyk et al., 2014). Furthermore, observations of micromorphological features can also provide us with information about developmental strategies, adaptation to different environmental conditions and evolutionary tendencies within related groups of plants (Kreitschitz and Vallès, 2007; Moazzeni et al., 2010).

  • Two New Species of Centaurea (Compositae, Cardueae) from Turkey
    Willdenowia 36 – 2006 423 GERHARD WAGENITZ, FRANK H. HELLWIG, GERALD PAROLLY & LUDWIG MARTINS Two new species of Centaurea (Compositae, Cardueae) from Turkey Abstract Wagenitz, G., Hellwig, F. H., Parolly, G. & Martins, L.: Two new species of Centaurea (Compositae, Cardueae) from Turkey. – Willdenowia 36 (Special Issue): 423-435. – ISSN 0511-9618; © 2006 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.36.36139 (available via http://dx.doi.org/) Two new species of Centaurea collected by R. Ulrich in southern Anatolia are described, mapped and illustrated. C. ulrichiorum is apparently very isolated and cannot be assigned to any of the known sections; molecular data place it in a clade comprising, e.g., the sections Jacea and Acrolophus. C. werneri is a member of C. sect. Acrolophus with affinities to species of the Balkans. Key words: angiosperms, Asteraceae, Anatolia, ITS, ETS, systematics, endemism. Introduction Centaurea L. is one of the largest genera in the flora of Turkey. This holds true even if the new, re- vised system is accepted that excludes Rhaponticoides Vaill., Psephellus Cass. and Cyanus Mill. (Wagenitz & Hellwig 2000, Greuter 2003). Since the last revision for the Flora of Turkey (Wagenitz 1975a) the following new species of Centaurea s.l. have been added (literature cita- tions are given for the newly described species): Centaurea amplifolia Boiss. & Heldr. ≡ Rhaponticoides amplifolia (Boiss. & Heldr.)

A unique entry is generated for the specific name of each taxon in a specific publication. Taxonomic treatments cover all novelties at the rank of family, genus, species, subspecies, variety, form and named hybrid taxa, new name changes (new combinations and new names), new records, new synonyms and new typifications for vascular plants reported or recorded from China. Detailed information on the place of publication, including author, publication name, year of publication, volume, issue, and page number, are given in detail. Type specimens and collections information for the taxa and their distribution in China, as well as worldwide, are also provided. The bibliographies were compiled from 182 journals and 138 monographs or books published worldwide. In addition, more than 400 herbaria preserve type specimens of Chinese plants are also listed as an appendix. This book can be used as a basic material for Chinese vascular plant taxonomy, and as a reference for researchers in biodiversity research, environmental protection, forestry and medicinal botany.

  • Asteraceae), a Striking New Species from Turkey
    Phytotaxa 170 (2): 125–132 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.170.2.5 Rhaponticoides gokceoglui (Asteraceae), a striking new species from Turkey İLKER ÇİNBİLGEL1, ÖZKAN EREN2* & HAYRİ DUMAN3 1 Akdeniz University, Akseki Vocational School, Program of Hunting and Wildlife, 07630, Akseki, Antalya, Turkey; email: icinbilgel@ akdeniz.edu.tr 2 Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology, 09100, Aydın, Turkey; *corresponding author; email: [email protected] 3 Gazi University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology, 06500, Teknikokullar, Ankara, Turkey; email: [email protected] Abstract Rhaponticoides gokceoglui is described as a species new to science. Its affinities within the genus are discussed. The new species is closely related to R. wagenitziana and R. aytachii from which we delimit it. Rhaponticoides gokceoglui is readily distinguished from those species by its entirely leafy stem, lacking a distinct appendage on phyllaries, ovate outer and ovate- oblong to oblong middle phyllaries with a very narrow scarious margin, and inner phyllaries cucullate at apex only. Habitat conditions and conservation status of R. gokceoglui are considered. Finally, a distribution map and a key to the pinkish- flowered species of Rhaponticoides in Turkey are provided. Key words: Antalya, Compositae, taxonomy Introduction The genus Rhaponticoides Vaillant (1754: 165) was recently split from Centaurea Linnaeus (1753: 909). It occurs from Portugal and Morocco in the west to Mongolia in the east (Agababian 1997, Greuter 2003, Hellwig 2004, Greuter et al. 2005, Garcia-Jacas et al.

  • A Contribution to Taxonomy of Centaurea Including Psephellus (Asteraceae) Based on Anatomical and Molecular Data
    Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 419-427 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1204-25 A contribution to taxonomy of Centaurea including Psephellus (Asteraceae) based on anatomical and molecular data Özhan AYDİN, Kamil ÇOŞKUNÇELEBİ*, Mutlu GÜLTEPE, Murat Erdem GÜZEL Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080 Trabzon, Turkey Received: 20.04.2012 Accepted: 06.12.2012 Published Online: 15.05.2013 Printed: 30.05.2013 Abstract: Seven Centaurea L. s.l (Asteraceae) taxa endemic to Turkey were examined in terms of anatomical and molecular aspects to contribute to their taxonomic positions. Numerical analysis of the 13 anatomical traits showed that average row number of collenchyma and the arrangements of the vascular bundles in the stem, leaf type, and abaxial surface of leaf epidermal tissue were important to determine the investigated taxa. It was also found that the 7 investigated taxa were grouped into 2 distinct clusters based on anatomical traits and combined nrDNAITS/cpDNA data. Key words: Anatomy, Centaurea, cpDNA, endemic, ITS, Turkey 1. Introduction to anatomical and molecular data and contribute to their The genus Centaurea L. s.l. has about 800 species distributed present systematic position. mainly in the Mediterranean area and south-western Asia (Wagenitz & Hellwig, 1996).
