P.Beauv. is a model grass species that is useful for studying temperate cereal, forage, and energy crops. In this study we aimed to determine the genome size and species identity in the collections of the B. distachyon complex that included samples from 56 different locations in Turkey, applying chromosome counting and nuclear genome size evaluation by flow cytometry method (FCM). Moreover, the study examined whether diverse geographical conditions at the collecting sites influence the genome size. Chromosomal analysis revealed that the number of B. distachyon (x = 5, 2n = 10) genotypes was 48 and the number of B. hybridum (x = 5 + 10, 2n = 30) ones was 11. No genotypes of B. stacei were found. FCM analyses revealed that the minimum and maximum genome size of B. distachyon was 0.732 and 0.752 pg2C–1, respectively. The mean genome size of B. distachyon was 0.743 pg2C–1. The mean genome size of B. hybridum was 1.431 pg2C–1 with the minimum 1.417 pg2C–1 and maximum 1.451 pg2C–1.

  • As to Maintain the Al-Shami Pilgrimage Route of the Holy Sanctuaries of Islam in Mecca and Medina

    As to Maintain the Al-Shami Pilgrimage Route of the Holy Sanctuaries of Islam in Mecca and Medina

    Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / TRAVELLING Date Country Theme 1516 - 1916 Jordan Travelling The region enjoyed relative stability due to being the route of the hajj sharif (pilgrimage) caravans to Mecca. Sultans and governors took great care of the caravans. Khans, water installations and fortifications were built and maintained along the route and military patrols were formed to protect it. 1516 - 1916 Jordan Travelling Between 1516 and the mid-19th century the main interest of the Ottoman authorities in the territories of modern Jordan was to maintain the al-shami pilgrimage route of the holy sanctuaries of Islam in Mecca and Medina. To ensure the safety of the pilgrim caravans good relations were maintained with the local Bedouin tribes. An annual payment was paid by the state (khuwwa or surra) to their chiefs to facilitate the passage of the pilgrims or simply to leave them alone. During the 18th and 19th Germany Travelling centuries Travellers from Europe approached the notion of the Near East with dreams of a “holy world” and “treasuries of wisdom”. The European desire for the “Orient” arose partly as a result of the Enlightenment, which since the 1800s had already changed the public psyche, filtering down from the rationalism of intellectuals to the scientification of the public. In addition, the many wars of the period, especially the Napoleonic Wars, produced in the people nostalgia; a desire for distance, the unknown, and the halcyon days of the past. Romantic-era authors and philosophers, much disturbed by these very topics (e.g. Friedrich Schlegel), thus attempted to escape into something magical – the “Orient” seemed to them, and their readers, an ideal imaginary world.

In this museum there are great number of rock hewn churches, monasteries and refectories. One can see the church that has been opened in 1967, monasteries, a mosque, tunnels and rock hewn homes in the Zelve Open Air Museum. The mosaics of the antique city of Sobessos, discovered only two years ago, the excavation of which is still being continued by the Museum of Nevşehir is one of the last surprises for those visiting Cappado- cia. Also, Cappadocia, renowned for its pottery and of course for its wine, is a region to which every visitor wishes to return again and again. In this region which is a well-known destination by international tourists, there are some weaknesses and various problems with regard to tourism, alongside its many beauties. The purpose of this study is first to intro- duce Cappadocia in terms of its geological formation, historical and cultural structure and natural beauty.
