Investigation of the Occurrence of Silene fuscata in Anatolia Based on Molecular Analysis

Abstract

Silene fuscata is an annual species distributed to a wide geography including Eastern Mediterranean, Northern Africa, and Southern Europe. The native range of this species is known as the Mediterranean Region. Presence of S. fuscata in Anatolia is reported by several comprehensive botanical literatures; however, the actual situation has never been investigated thoroughly. This study focuses on the occurrence of S. fuscata in Anatolia. In order to determine the existence of this species in the aforementioned area, nuclear and chloroplast-DNA sequence data from a wide range of Silene samples were analyzed. DNA sequence analyses and other available evidence display no support for the presence of S. fuscata in Anatolia.

Silene fuscata'nın Anadolu'daki Varlığının Moleküler Açıdan Araştırılması

Abstract

Silene fuscata, Doğu Akdeniz, Kuzey Afrika ve Güney Avrupa'yı içeren geniş bir coğrafyaya yayılmış tek yıllık bir bitki türüdür. Akdeniz Bölgesi bu türün doğal yayılış alanı olarak bilinir. S. fuscata'nın Anadolu'da da yetiştiği birçok kapsamlı botanik çalışmada bildirilmiş olmakla birlikte türün mevcut durumu hiçbir zaman ayrıntılı olarak araştırılmamıştır. Bu makalede S. fuscata'nın Anadolu'daki varlığı incelenmiştir. Anadolu ve Anadolu dışından toplanan farklı Silene türlerinden nükleer ve kloroplast-DNA dizileri üretilerek bu bitki örneklerinin filogenetik ilişkileri irdelenmiştir. DNA dizi analizleri ve mevcut diğer kanıtlar S. fuscata’nın Anadolu’da yayılış göstermediğine işaret etmektedir.
