New Rust Fungi Records from Aladağlar and Bolkar Mountains (Türkiye)
Öz
Aim of study: The primary aim of this research is to contribute Turkish mycobiota by adding ten rust fungi species that have not been previously reported in the country.
Area of study: Aladağlar and Bolkar Mountains are part of the broader Central Taurus Mountains complex situated in the eastern section of southern Anatolia. It is encircled by several key regions: Kayseri to the northeast, Niğde and Ereğli to the northwest, Karaman to the west, Mersin to the south, and Adana to the southeast.
Material and method: For light microscopy (LM) studies, fungal samples from plants and dried hosts were prepared with lactophenol and analyzed using a Leica microscope, Olympus camera, and Image Focus v3 software. For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), spores were fixed on stubs, gold-coated, and examined with an EVO 40XVP microscope at 20 kV.
Main results: As a result of field and laboratory studies, ten species belonging to the Pucciniales order were reported for the first time in Türkiye.
Research highlights: This study examines the report of ten previously unidentified species of rust fungi within the mycobiota of Türkiye, specifically gathered from the Aladağlar and Bolkar mountain ranges
