samples from Hakkari province in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey was carried
out. By microscopic analysis method, pollen diagnosis was made in propolis
samples, and plants which may be propolis sources, were estimated. As a result,
71 plant taxa belonging to 34 families were identified at different rates in
propolis samples. The pollens of the plants belonging to the family Apiaceae
(2,7%-35%), Asteraceae (3,4%-35,4%) and, Fabaceae (12%-66%) were considerably
found in the propolis of the Hakkari region. This study is the first report
introducing the plant profile of Hakkari propolis in detail. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Gazi University}
