    Alliums, an Underutilized Genetic Resource in the East Mediterranean
    (Int Soc Horticultural Science, 2012) Ozturk, M.; Gucel, S.; Altay, Volkan; Altundag, E.
    The east mediterranean is the ecoregion overlapped by the fertile crescent, which is regarded as among one of the specific and vulnerable ecosystems. The region is also known as the cradle of civilizations and possesses a rich biodiversity. It has served as a land-bridge for the present day distribution of old world flora and fauna. One of the taxa represented widely in its flora is the genus Allium. The taxa distributed in the east mediterranean are; 27 in Syria; 32 in Lebanon; 8 in Jordan; 25 in Lebanon and Syria; 2 endemics from Lebanon and Palestine; one endemic from Syria, Lebanon and Turkey and 42 in Israil. There are two edible taxa in Cyprus namely Allium neopolitanum and A. ampleoprasum both consumed in large quantities and evaluted as medicinal plants too. It is one of the largest genera of Turkey with 188 taxa, 3 being cultivated and 73 are endemic. Latter include Irano-Turanian (47), mediterranean (72-49 east mediterranean), Euro-Siberian (17) phytogeographical elements, with nearly 61 taxa in danger of extinction. In spite of this rich diversity the genus is an underutilized genetic resource in the region. An attempt will be made here to present some general features of the wild Alliums in the region in order to put forward stratagies for the development of a germplasm centre for Alliums, which can serve as a basis for more productive new introduction studies.

    Preservation and ecology of a living relict shrub in South Caucasus as a eco-genetic heritage from Tertiary: Epigaea gaultherioides (Boiss. & Bal.) Takht
    (Triveni Enterprises, 2020) Ozturk, M.; Altay, V; Kucuk, M.; Altundag, E.; Severoglu, Z.; Yalcin, I. E.
    Aim: Epigaea gaultherioides is an euxine element with a tertiary origin as a relict species facing threat of extinction. In this study, an attempt was made to explore the ecological characteristics by taking into consideration the soil-plant interactions of this taxon. Methodology : Soil and plant samples were collected and analysed using Kjeldahl, Spectrophotometer, Flame photometer and ICP-OES. Results : The findings showed that generally grows on sandy and/or clayey soils, of strong acidic nature, non-calcified, non-saline and high in organic matter. The plant samples collected from the study area were thin iron, aluminium, zinc and nickel; but their percentage in the soils was low. Interpretation : The findings of this study will assist to better understand the ecological requirements of this relict taxon for its possible future successful conservation programs.
