Analysis Of Morphological, Micromorphologica And Molecular Systematic Properties Of Rubus L. (Rosaceae) Species In Rize Province

Abstract

Rubus taxa in Rize province were compared morphologically and micromorphological along with molecular systematic of plants in this work. Analysed plant materials were sampled during field studies conducted in 2019. The collected samples were identified according to known methods and were transferred into herbarium plants. A total of 8 taxa belonging to rubus species were found. Plant parts such as stem, leaves and flowers was examined morphologically and micromorphologically under stereo microscope and SEM. Then, plant genomic DNA was isolated from fresh leaf samples by suitable methods to determine ITS profiles. Then the ITS regions were amplified by PCR and sequenced. A phylogenetic tree showing the similarity among this 8 taxa was then created based on the sequence analysis. The stem, leaf trichomes, trichome types and thorn structure were found to be distinctive among these 8 taxa when micromorphological images were examined. As a result of morphological findings, Rubus plants constitute 8 distinct taxons in terms of leaf, fruit, thorn, shape, petal, leaf and leaflet size, structure, number and shape of fruit grains, leaf adaxial and abaxial surface, trichome amount of petal surface, color of fruit and sepals and leaf edge structure. These features were characteristic for all the taxons examined. Molecular data showed that the average base length of rubus taxa was found to be between 709 and 731 bps. Created phylogenetic tree revealed that the taxa closest to the Rosacea family were Rubus hirtus and Rubus tereticaulis while the most distant taxa was Rubus sanctus.
