Bot. 26 (1): 01-05. Tehran. Acantolimon saadii is described as a new species, the specimens of the new species have been collected from a locality in Fars province. The new species belongs to Acantholimon sect. Tragacanthina subsect. Stenostoma and is most closely related to Acantholimon karelinii, a species confined to N. and NW. of Iran and adjacent areas in Caucasus and Tuekey. The differences are in the length of calyx and bracteole characters. An identification key is prepared for the species of subsection Stenostoma to include the new species. Acantholimon saadii extends the distribution of the subsection Stenostoma from Kashan area as the southernmost distribution in Isfahan province to Fars province.

Bieb. and P. quadrifolia L. Taxonomically detailed description of the species are based on collected and examined specimens; distributions and illustrations are presented along with anatomical cross sections of leaves, stems, rhizomes and roots and leaf surfaces. The differing anatomical structure of studied plant parts is suitable for use as an additional tool in their identification. Karyotypes of the species are determined, P. incompleta, as 2n = 10, diploid, chromosome formula is 2m+4sm+2st+2t and P. quadrifolia as 2n = 20, tetraploid, chromosome formula is 4m+8sm+2st+2t. Photographies of species in naturel habitat, distribution map of species in Turkey, detailed drawing of flowers and general view of species, drawings and microphotographies of the karyotypes are also presented.

This issue of IRG is our 60th – quite a milestone for what was begun as a one year experimental project. Production of the magazine does keep the IRG Team busy but of course, none of this would be possible without the generous input of our authors and photographers: To all of you - a special greeting of warm appreciation from Margaret, ZZ, Ian, Glassford and Richard. “Don’t tell me - more last minute editorial changes” from Theresa McCracken in Oregon So far, winter in the Northern Hemisphere has been veering between cold and mild to a degree that will confuse most of our plants, while in the South a drought is expected which will lead to problems for growers there. These are, I suppose, problems which are visited upon us most years, in some way or another. Perhaps this struggle against nature’s vagaries is part of what drives us in our challenge to “conquer” the difficulties and the puzzles our gardens present to us? Or perhaps we are just all happily obsessed?

Wild Lactuca Species in North America Abstract This chapter presents a brief history of the uses of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and its wild North American relatives, and reviews the agricultural importance of lettuce and challenges in its cultivation, in relation to nutritional quality, diseases, pests, and edaphic and climatic limitations. The evolution and taxonomy of the genus Lactuca are presented, with a primary focus on the wild Lactuca species of North America, their characterization, biogeography and distribution, habitat ecology, and genepools. Specific examples of phenotypic variability, genetic diversity and disease resistance of wild Lactuca taxa from both published reports and recent evaluations conducted in our laboratory are also presented.

  • Total Antioxidant Status and Antifungal Activities of Endemic Geophytic Plants Collected from Munzur Valley in Tunceli, Turkey
    Digest Journal of Nanomaterials and Biostructures Vol. 8, No. 1, January - March 2013, p. 403 - 408 TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT STATUS AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES OF ENDEMIC GEOPHYTIC PLANTS COLLECTED FROM MUNZUR VALLEY IN TUNCELI, TURKEY NURAN CIKCIKOGLU YILDIRIMa*, MEHMET YAVUZ PAKSOYa, EBRU YUCEb, NUMAN YILDIRIMa aTunceli University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering, 62000, Tunceli. bTunceli University, Tunceli Vocational High school, Department of Animal and Vegetable Production, 62000, Tunceli Total antioxidant status and antifungal activities of three endemic plants from the Munzur Valley in Tunceli, Turkey; Bellevalia gracilis Feinbrun, Muscari aucheri (Boiss.) Baker ve Tulipa armena Boiss. var. lycica (Baker) Marais were evaluated for the first time. Aqueous, hexanic, methanolic and ethanolic extracts were obtained from leaves and bulbs of B. gracilis, M. aucheri ve T. armena var. lycica. Total antioxidant status was determined by using TAS assay kit (Rel assay diagnostics). Antifungal assays were performed according to amended agar method against white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor.Among the plants tested, the leaves of B. gracilis exhibited highest total antioxidant status among all samples evaluated in this study. According to the results, M. aucheri plant exhibited the lowest antioxidant status. The results of this study showed that the aqueous leaf extract of T. armena var. lycica at a concentration 2.5% (w/v) suppressed significantly the radial growth of C. versicolor by 68.00%. It can be concluded that the plant species assayed possess antifungal and antioxidant properties. (Received January 16, 2013; Accepted February 14, 2013) Keywords: Tunceli, Munzur Valley, Endemic geophyte, Total antioxidant status, Antifungal activity 1. Introduction In all aerobic organisms, including human beings, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is balanced by antioxidant defence system [1].
