Elde edilen sonuçlara göre bitki ekstraktlarının allelopatik etkinliği artan dozlara (%1, % 2, % 4, % 6 ve % 8) paralel olarak; yabancı otların tohum çimlenmesini, fide ve kök gelişimini önemli düzeyde engellemiştir. En yüksek etki % 8 dozda beyaz turp uygulamasından elde edilmiştir (% 98.4). Ancak, fidelerin gövde ve kök büyümelerine etki açısından, uygulamalar arasında istatistiki fark görülmemiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Amaranthus retroflexus, allelopati, çimlenme, fide boyu, kök boyu Giriş Tarım alanlarında hastalık ve zararlıların yanında çok sayıda yabancı otla karşılaşılmaktadır. Dünyada bugüne kadar yaklaşık 7000 yabancı ot türü tespit edilmiş olup bunlar arasında yaklaşık 300 kadarının tarımsal üretimi ciddi ölçüde tehdit ettiği bildirilmiştir (Patterson 1985). Ülkemizde belirlenen yabancı ot türü sayısı ise 1800 kadardır (Uluğ ve ark. 1993). Yazlık bitkiler arasında ise Amaranthus retroflexus L. (kırmızı köklü tilki kuyruğu) en yaygın ve yoğun yabancı otlar (Kadıoğlu 1993; Uygur 1995, Kaya 2003) arasında gösterilmekte olup, bu yabancı otla ülkemizin neredeyse hemen hemen her yerinde karşılaşılması mümkündür (Davis 1967). Kırmızı köklü tilki kuyruğu Amaranthaceae familyasından tek yıllık ve tohumlarıyla çoğalan bir yabancı ottur. Her bitki yüzbinlerce tohum üretme kapasitesindedir. Genellikle, toprak içerisinde bu yabancı ota ait yüksek miktarda tohum bulunmakta olup, yabancı otun tohumları toprak içerisinde uygun koşulları bulunca kolaylıkla çimlenme yeteneğinde olması sorunun büyümesinin nedenlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir (Üremiş 1999). Bazı ekim öncesi, çıkış öncesi ve çıkış sonrası herbisitlerle kontrol edilebilmesine rağmen başta mısır, pamuk, yerfıstığı, soya, meyve bahçeleri ve sebze alanlarında önemli sorundur (Kadıoğlu 1993; Uygur 1995, Orel 1996; Gönen 1999; Kaya 2003). Yabancı otların tür ve yoğunluğu kültür bitkisine göre değişmekle birlikte yabancı otlar yaklaşık % 31.62 oranında ürün kaybına sebep olmaktadır (Derke ve ark. 1994). Bu nedenle gelişmiş ülkelerde kullanılan pestisitlerin % 50’den fazlasını herbisitler oluşturmaktadır (Erkin ve Kişmir 1996; Gönen ve ark. 1996; Roger 1999). Ülkemizde kullanılan pestisitler içinde herbisitlerin oranı % 26’dır (Delen ve ark. 2005). Ülkemizin artan tarımsal üretimine paralel olarak herbisit kullanımı da artmaktadır. Yabancı otların mücadelesinde, neden oldukları önemli çevre sorunlarından dolayı kimyasal mücadelenin yerini alabilecek alternatif yöntemlerin bulunmasında önemli Geliş Tarihi: 17.06.2013 Kabul Tarihi: 13.08.2013 Ş. ÖZDEMİR, İ. ÜREMİŞ yararlar bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle tarımın sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması, çevrenin korunabilmesi, yaşanılan teknik problemlerin aşılabilmesi, bütünleşik tarım, ekolojik tarım, organik tarım ve sürdürülebilir tarım gibi güncel eğilimlere uyum sağlayabilmesi, entegre mücadele prensiplerine uygun mücadelenin gerçekleştirilebilmesi için kimyasal yönteme alternatif, çevre dostu yeni yöntem ve tekniklerin geliştirilmesine yönelik mücadele yöntemlerini araştırmak ve uygulamaya aktarmak bir zorunluluk olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu alternatif yöntemlerden biri allelopatik maddelerin yabancı otların, zararlıların ve bitki hastalıklarının mücadelesinde kullanılmasıdır. Turplar yetiştikleri ortama glikosinolat salgılamakta veya bitki aksamlarının ayrışması sonucu glikosinolat ortaya çıkmakta, daha sonra glikosinolat’ın hidrolizi sonucunda izotiyosiyanatlar oluşmaktadır. İzotiyosiyanatlar ise yabancı ot tohumlarının çimlenme ve gelişimini etkileyen önemli bir allelokimyasal madde olup özellikle küçük tohumlu yabancı otların çimlenme ve gelişimini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir (Elliott ve Stowe 1971; Boydston ve Al-Khatib 1994; Brown ve Morra 1995; Vaughn ve Boydston 1997; Petersen ve ark. 2001). Brassicaceae familyasına ait bitkilerin yüksek allelopatik etki göstermeleri nedeniyle gerek ülkemizde gerekse yurt dışında çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır (Üremiş 2006). Ülkemizde allelopati konusunda ilk çalışmalar 1980’li yılların sonunda Brassicaceae familyasından antep turpu (R. sativus)’nun kanyaşa etkisi araştırılarak başlamıştır (Uygur ve ark. 1990). Daha sonraki allelopati konusundaki çalışmaların önemli bir kısmını Brassicaceae familyasından bitkilerin allelopatik etkileri oluşturmakla birlikte ağırlıklı olarak antep turpunun allelopatik etkisi çalışılmıştır. Ancak, takip eden çalışmalarda diğer turp çeşitleri de kullanılmıştır (Köseli 1991; İskenderoğlu 1995, Doğan 2004, Arslan ve ark. 2005; Üremiş ve ark. 2005). Brassicaceae familyasına giren bitkilerin yabancı otların çimlenme, büyüme ve gelişmelerini olumsuz yönde etkilediği çok sayıda araştırmacı tarafından kaydedilmiştir (Campbell 1959; Uygur ve ark. 1990; Köseli 1991;Grodzinsky 1992; Al-Khatib ve ark. 1995; Topal 1996; Kayandan 2002; Doğan 2004; Arslan ve ark. 2005, Üremiş ve ark. 2005; Uludağ ve ark. 2005). Bu çalışmayla, beyaz turp (Raphanus sativus L.), antep turpu (Raphanus sativus L.), siyah turp (Raphanus sativus L. var. niger), fındık turpu (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula) ve şalgam (Brassica campestris L. subsp. rapa)' ın toprak üstü kısımlarından hazırlanan farklı dozlardaki ekstraktların, kırmızı köklü tilki kuyruğu (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) tohumlarının çimlenmesine ve bitki gelişimine olan

By Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff / member BC Council of Garden Clubs If you can accept that the island called Santorini in the central Mediterranean, also known as Thira / Tera, is the original Island of Atlantis; if you also can agree that this Island had a terrific volcanic explosion more than 3,000 years ago, than I can share with you an equally fantastic botanical story with you. That today’s Thira is the remnant of an exploded volcano is quite evident when one looks at a map of this region of the Mediterranean. Located as part of the Aegean Islands, just north of Crete, it shows the unmistakable shape of a water filled volcanic caldera with a center-cone island. Scientists have identified volcanic ash taken from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese coast, as originating from Thira. The time frame of some 3300 years ago also coincides with the beginning of a rather tumultuous time in this part of the ancient world, the end of the “Bronze Age”. The possible cause of that could well have been a natural disaster, in the very heart of the ancient world as we know it. Now that I have your attention and possibly have whetted your curiosity, let me introduce you to one of the small wonders of this very ancient world, the beautiful Cyclamen, all 22 species of them.

    International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) ISSN: 2643-9670 Vol. 4, Issue 4, April – 2020, Pages: 37-41 Ethnomedicinal Uses of Iridaceae Taxa in Turkish Traditional Medicine Mustafa Eray Bozyel1*, Elif Merdamert-Bozyel2 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, Turkey 2COVID-19 Diagnostic Center, Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Education and Research Hospital, Health Institutes of Turkey (TÜSEB), İstanbul, Turkey *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The Iridaceae is one of the geophyte families in the world. It is generally distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family includes some of the most popular ornamental genera such as Freesia, Gladiolus, Iris, Sparaxis, Sisyrinchium and Tigridia. The stigmas of Crocus sativus are called saffron. It is widely used as a coloring agent and to flavor foodstuffs. Orris root is obtained from Iris florentina and used in the production of perfumes and cosmetics. As a result of the study, the authors found that six Crocus, three Gladiolus, and seven Iris taxa are used as herbal remedies in Turkish Traditional Medicine. It has been determined that taxa of the family are mostly used by local people for cold, diuretic, antiurolithiatic, and menstrual irregularity.

  • Genome Size and DNA Base Composition of Geophytes: the Mirror of Phenology and Ecology?
    Genome Size and DNA base composition of Geophytes: the Mirror of Phenology and Ecology? BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES: Evolution Pavel Vesely1*, Petr Bures1, Petr Smarda1, Tomas Pavlicek2 1 Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University, Kotlarska 2, CZ-61137, Brno, Czech Republic 2 Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, Mt. Carmel, 31905, Haifa, Israel. * corresponding author: Pavel Vesely: [email protected] Abstract Genome size is known to affect various plant traits such as stomatal size, seed mass, and flower or shoot phenology. However, these associations are still not well understood for the species with giant genomes, mostly represented with geophytic plants. No detailed associations are known between DNA base composition and genome size or species ecology. Genome sizes and GC contents were measured in 219 geophytes together with tentative morpho-anatomical and ecological traits. Increase in genome size was associated with earliness of flowering, tendency to grow in humid conditions, and tightly positively correlated with increase in stomatal size, namely in extremely large genomes. Seed mass of geophytes was closely related to their ecology, but not to genomic parameters. Genomic GC content showed unimodal relationship with genome size but no relation with species ecology. Evolution of genome size in geophytes is closely related with their ecology and phenology and also associates with remarkable changes in DNA base composition. While geophytism together with producing larger cells seems advantageous strategy for fast development

The genome size af- fects a number of plant traits (e. g. stomatal size, maximum height, seed mass) and has a series of physiological (e. g. water use effiiny ad eooia (.g phenology minimum generation time, life forms) implications. However, it is not clear how do these relationship function for species with giant genomes and if and how are these species limited. There is also a question what consequences a different GC base content in genomes can have and if the base ratio relates somehow to genome size. Thus I focused my dissertation thesis on geophytes which due to frequent occurrence of large genomes appear to be a suitable model group for testing the mentioned relationships.

  • Grantown on Spey 2013
    The Scottish Rock Garden Club Grantown on Spey 2013 Starting on a personal note of shame. This is the first Discussion Weekend show in over 20 years which I have not entered any plants. Its amazing how many people, who rarely if ever show plants, comment when some long time supporter of the show benches like me does not enter for some reason or other. I found myself apologising for lack of space in my car! I will try to do better next time! The main reason was that my car was full of my case and clothes as well as other SRGC stuff for the Discussion Weekend. This time I drove in our Volvo S60 saloon and realised just how much I depend on our other vehicle the Volvo V70. Its quite amazing just how many plant pots and crates that you can stuff in the V70 beside personal stuff. Now there’s 3 mentions of Volvo [4 now], perhaps I’ll get a free one! Despite the absence of my plants the show had as big an entry as ever. The show was held in the Grant Arms Hotel in Granton on Spey, just north of the Cairngorm mountains beside the River Spey. Both these facts should tempt you there next year. The food was good too! The number of plants was probably up on previous years. There were lots of shrubby and foliage plants and ferns as well as the expected cyclamen, gentians and autumn bulbs. Roma Fiddes, Stan da Prato, Shelagh and Brian Smethurst and Jean Wyllie filled half the space between them Well done all and the other exhibitors for putting on such a great show.
