Conributions to The Genetic Diversity of Turkish Morchella (Kuzugöbeği) with Using Molecular Techniques

Abstract

Morchella genus called as “kuzugöbeği” in Turkey, is consumed extensively in many countries including Turkey and it always maintains its scientific interest. Systematic studies on the genus Morchella have continued, new species have also been identified and synonyms have been determined. In this study, phylogenetic and morphological assessment of a collection consisting 50 samples collected from different locations of Turkey were performed. In phylogenetic analysis, internal transcribed spacer (ITS rDNA) and 28S rDNA (LSU) gene regions were used. At the end of the study, Morchella dunensis, M. tridentina, M. importuna, M. eximia, M. dunalii, M. mediterraneensis and M. deliciosa have been identified based on these gene regions.

Moleküler Yöntemlerin Kullanımı İle Türkiye Morchella (Kuzugöbeği) Genetik Çeşitliliğine Katkılar

Abstract

Türkiye’de “kuzugöbeği” olarak bilinen Morchella cinsi, Türkiye’nin de içinde bulunduğu birçok ülkede yoğun olarak tüketilmekte ve bilimsel olarak da üzerindeki ilgiyi her zaman korumaktadır. Bu mantar cinsinde yapılan sistematik çalışmalar popülerliğini sürdürmekte, yeni türler tanımlanmakta ve sinonimler belirlenmektedir. Sunulan bu çalışmada da Türkiye’nin farklı lokasyonlarından toplanmış ve 50 örnekten oluşmuş bir koleksiyonun morfolojik ve filogenetik değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Filogenetik analizlerde, transkripsiyonu yapılamayan (ITS rDNA) ve 28S rDNA (LSU) gen bölgeleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda, bu gen bölgelerine göre, Morchella dunensis, M. tridentina, M. importuna, M. eximia, M. dunalii, M. mediterraneensis ve M. deliciosa türleri belirlenmiştir.
