Bonchev St., 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria (e-mail: [email protected]) Corresponding author: [email protected] Sesli & Denchev – Checklists of the myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes in Turkey 2 Abstract This paper attempts to compile available data on myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes reported from or known to occur in Turkey, obtained from 428 publications issued between 1915 and January, 2011. Three main lists of correct names of myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes, recognized as occurring in Turkey, are given, in which the taxa are alphabetically arranged. The total number of correct names of species, recognized as occurring in Turkey and presented in the checklists, is 2196, including 222 myxomycetes, 152 ascomycetes, and 1822 basidiomycetes. For each taxon, references are cited. An index of synonyms based on literature records from Turkey is appended. The index includes 890 species and infraspecific taxa. A list of excluded records of 80 species, providing reasons for their exclusion, is also given. Key words: biodiversity, fungal diversity, macrofungi, Turkish mycota Introduction Turkey is a large rectangular peninsula situated between south-eastern Europe and Asia and its land mass is about 780.000 km 2. The term Anatolia is used in a specific reference and describes a large semiarid central plateau, rimmed by hills and mountains (URL 1). The European part and the Asian part (Anatolia) of Turkey are divided by the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles. The Anatolian peninsula is the westernmost point of Asia and the country forms a natural bridge between Asia, Africa, and Europe (Fig. 1). Turkey is Fig. 1. Neighbouring countries and some of the major cities of Turkey “This internet site was updated on January 2011” Sesli & Denchev – Checklists of the myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes in Turkey 3 surrounded by eight countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Iran, Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Armenia and Nakhchivan) and three basins (Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea) The topography of Turkey is largely hilly and mountainous across Anatolia (Atalay 1994). Geologically, Turkey is a part of the Alpine belt that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Himalaya Mountains and is one of the world’s more active earthquake and volcano regions. The topography of Turkey is a result of a variety of tectonic processes that have formed Anatolia over millions of years. The Asiatic Turkey flat land is scattered and confined to the deltas of Kızılırmak, Gediz, Büyükmenderes rivers, the coastal plains of Antalya and Adana, Salt Lake, Konya Basin, and some interior high plains in Anatolia (URL 1). Anatolia is a high plateau rising towards the east, containing many lakes, and broken up by river valleys. Diverse regions of Turkey have different climates, for instance, temperate climate in the Black Sea region, Mediterranean climate in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, and continental climate in the interior. The wide range of temperature and precipitation conditions and the irregular topographic structure of Anatolia have created a great diversity of ecological conditions. On one hand, Turkey is among the richest floristic centres in the world (Anşin 1983) and according to Davis et al. (1971) represents the meeting ground of three phytogeographical regions: Euro-Siberian, Mediterranean, and Irano-Turanian (Fig. 2). Fig. 2. Phytogeographical regions in Turkey (after Davis et al. 1971) “This internet site was updated on January 2011” Sesli & Denchev – Checklists of the myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes in Turkey 4 On the other hand, according to the climate, location, agricultural diversities, topography, flora, and fauna, Turkey is divided into seven geographical regions: Black Sea, Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, East Anatolian, South Anatolian, and Central Anatolian (Fig. 3). The Black Sea Region of Turkey has steep mountains and is covered by deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests. The area has a rocky coast with rivers, and from the west to the east the narrow coastal strip widens at several places into fertile cultivated deltas. The mild, damp climate of the region is favourable for farming. Various vegetables, fruits, tobacco, rice, and hazelnuts are produced in the middle Black Sea region. The Trabzon, Giresun, and Ordu are the most important places for the production of hazelnuts. Quality tea ( Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) is produced in Rize, Trabzon, and their surroundings. The western part of the Black Sea region is a centre of heavy industry. Mountain ranges, running in parallel to the Black Sea, create a barrier for rain clouds moving inland. This is an important factor in determining the ecological conditions of the region. The principal rivers of the Black Sea basin are Sakarya, Yeşilırmak, Kızılırmak, and Çoruh. These rivers flow from the mountains toward the Black Sea. Smaller rivers of the region are Đkizdere, Harşit çayi, Fırtına deresi, and Tortum River. Fig. 3. Geographical regions of Turkey The European part of Turkey is generally flat in comparison with Black Sea Region and is favourable for agriculture. The Bosphorus links the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara; and the Dardanelles Strait links the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean. The most important valleys are the Kocaeli and the Bursa Basin. The biggest city of Turkey is Đstanbul, located in “This internet site was updated on January 2011” Sesli & Denchev – Checklists of the myxomycetes, larger ascomycetes, and larger basidiomycetes in Turkey 5 the Marmara Region. The principal rivers of the Marmara region are Simav and Susurluk. The most common trees and shrubs of the Euro-Siberian phytogeographical region of Turkey are as follows: Abies bornmuelleriana Mattf., A. equi-trojani (Asch. & Sint. ex Boiss.)

This region has a fertile soil and Mediterranean climate with tepid, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Alluvium carried by the rivers has created fertile plains in the region. The mountain ranges permit the maritime climate to prevail several hundred kilometres inland. Main rivers of the region are the Büyük Menderes and Gediz. Mediterranean region has warm climate; bananas, citrus fruits, grapes, wheat, rice, cotton, and various vegetables are grown in the area. The region is separated from Anatolia by the Taurus Mountains which rise sharply from the coast to high elevations between Adana and Antalya. Taurus Mountains are parallel to the Mediterranean coast and create a barrier for rain clouds moving inland. Principal rivers of the Mediterranean region are the Manavgat, Aksu, Köprüçay, Göksu, Seyhan, and Ceyhan. The most important taxa of the Mediterranean phytogeographical region are Abies cilicica (Antoine & Kotschy) Carr., Arbutus unedo L., Cedrus libani A.

Northeast and northwest of the plateau are covered by forests. Konya Basin and the Salt Lake are the two largest basins on the plateau. The capital city of Turkey (Ankara) is located in this region. This geographical region receives little annual rainfall and the amount changes from year to year. The plateau has cold weather with heavy snow during winters and takes too much heat during summers.

  • The History of Elm Breeding L
    Invest Agrar: Sist Recur For (2004) 13 (1), 161-177 The history of elm breeding L. Mittempergher and A. Santini* Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante. Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. Piazzale delle Cascine, 28. 50144 Firenze. Italy Abstract Breeding elms resistant to Dutch elm disease (DED) started in the Netherlands in the year 1928 on the initiative of a group of women scientists. They were active until 1954, when Hans Heybroek took over at the Dorschkamp Rese- arch Institute and carried on until his retirement in 1992. Two more programmes were initiated in Europe, in Italy and Spain, in 1978 and 1993 respectively, under the impulse of Dutch breeding activities. Elm breeding in America began in 1937 in the USDA-Agricultural Research Service Laboratories and is still being pursued under the leadership of Alden Townsend. Another programme was set up at the University of Wisconsin in 1958, led by Eugene Smalley and was closed after his retirement and death in 2002. A third programme found birth at the Morton Arboretum, Chicago, in 1972 where activities are still carried out by George Ware since his retirement. The number of resistant elm clones released on the market and the scientific progress fostered by breeding activities indicate that the long work needed to carry them on is a positive one. Among the key points considered are: elm germplasm collection, elm species cros- sability, inoculation system and disease evaluation, building up of resistance, and the possible consequences from in- troducing foreign species and hybrids to native elms. Because of shortage of funding long-term research and the per- ception that biotechnology will provide rapid solutions to long-term problems, traditional elm breeding activities seem now to be in difficulty.

  • Molecular Phylogeny, Detection and Epidemiology of Nectria Galligena Bres
    Molecular Phylogeny, Detection and Epidemiology of Nectria galligena Bres. the incitant of Nectria Canker on Apple By Stephen Richard Henry Langrell April, 2000 Department of Biological Sciences Wye College, University of London Wye, Ashford, Kent. TN25 5AH A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements governing the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London (2) Abstract Nectria canker, incited by Nectria galligena (anamorph Cylindrocarpon heteronema), is prevalent in apple and pear orchards in all temperate growing areas of the world where it causes loss of yield by direct damage to trees, and rotting in stored fruit. Interpretation of the conventional epidemiology, from which current control measures are designed, is often inconsistent with the distribution of infections, particularly in young orchards, and may account for poor control in some areas, suggesting many original assumptions concerning pathogen biology and spread require revision. Earlier work has implicated nurseries as a source of infection. This thesis describes experiments designed to test this hypothesis and the development and application of molecular tools to examine intra- specific variation in N. galligena and its detection in woody tissue. Two experimental trials based on randomised block designs were undertaken. In the first, trees comprising cv. Queen Cox on M9 rootstocks from five UK and five continental commercial nurseries were planted at a single site in East Kent. The incidence of Nectria canker over the ensuing five years was monitored. Significant differences in percentage of trees with canker between nurseries were observed, indicating a source effect. Analysis of data from a second experiment, comprising M9 rootstocks from three nurseries, budded with cv.

  • 9B Taxonomy to Genus
    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org.

POLEMIS * [email protected] 1Agricultural University of Athens, Lab. of General & Agricultural Microbiology, Iera Odos 75, GR-11855 Athens, Greece 2 [email protected] National Agricultural Research Foundation, Institute of Environmental Biotechnology, Lakonikis 87, GR-24100 Kalamata, Greece Abstract — In the course of a nine-year inventory in Mt. Oxya (central Greece) fir forests, a total of 358 taxa of macromycetes, belonging in 149 genera, have been recorded. Ninety eight taxa constitute new records, and five of them are first reports for the respective genera (Athelopsis, Crustoderma, Lentaria, Protodontia, Urnula). One hundred and one records for habitat/host/substrate are new for Greece, while some of these associations are reported for the first time in literature. Key words — biodiversity, macromycetes, fir, Mediterranean region, mushrooms Introduction The mycobiota of Greece was until recently poorly investigated since very few mycologists were active in the fields of fungal biodiversity, taxonomy and systematic. Until the end of ’90s, less than 1.000 species of macromycetes occurring in Greece had been reported by Greek and foreign researchers. Practically no collaboration existed between the scientific community and the rather few amateurs, who were active in this domain, and thus useful information that could be accumulated remained unexploited. Until then, published data were fragmentary in spatial, temporal and ecological terms. The authors introduced a different concept in their methodology, which was based on a long-term investigation of selected ecosystems and monitoring-inventorying of macrofungi throughout the year and for a period of usually 5-8 years.
