Aim of study: The white flowers of Osmanthus species have been valued for centuries in medicinal and aromatic applications due to their distinct fragrance and chemical composition. Among the 27 species distributed globally, Osmanthus decorus is the only species endemic to the Caucasus region, found in Russia, Georgia, and Türkiye. O. decorus has a distinct distribution area around Artvin but has not been sufficiently studied at the molecular level regarding its differentiation from other species.
Material and method: This study focuses on identifying the molecular differences between Turkish O. decorus samples and other species while constructing their phylogenies. Phylogenetic relationships were analyzed using Bayesian inference with universal DNA barcode markers (nrDNA ITS and cpDNA matK).
Main results: The nuclear and chloroplast data were consistent, and all Caucasian Osmanthus specimens clustered into a strongly supported monophyletic group. As a result of the Bayesian analysis, it was determined that O. decorus does not clearly separate from other species within the genus.
Research highlights: According to the results of BLAST analysis, it was determined that the samples from Russia and Georgia, which are geographically close to the samples from Türkiye, were 100% matched.

Artvin (Türkiye) Kökenli Tıbbi ve Aromatik Bitki Osmanthus decorus’un Moleküler Filogenetik Analizi

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı: Osmanthus türlerinin beyaz çiçekleri, kendine özgü kokuları ve kimyasal bileşimleri nedeniyle yüzyıllardır tıbbi ve aromatik amaçlarla kullanılmaktadır. Dünya üzerinde yayılış gösteren 27 türlerden sadece Osmanthus decorus, Kafkas endemiği olup, Rusya, Gürcistan ve Türkiye’de yayılış göstermektedir. Türkiye’de O. decorus, özellikle Artvin çevresinde yayılım göstermektedir; ancak, cinsin diğer türlerinden moleküler farkları yeterince araştırılmamıştır.
Materyal ve yöntem: Bu çalışmada, O. decorus’un Türkiye örneklerinin diğer türlerinden moleküler düzeyde farklılıklarının ortaya konulması ve filogenilerinin oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Evrensel DNA barkod işaretleyicileri (nrDNA ITS ve cpDNA matK) kullanılarak filogenetik ilişkiler Bayesian analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Temel sonuçlar: Çekirdek ve kloroplast verileri tutarlılık göstermiş ve tüm Kafkas Osmanthus örnekleri güçlü bir şekilde desteklenen monofiletik bir grup içinde toplanmıştır. Bayesian analizi sonucunda, O. decorus'un cins içerisindeki diğer türlerden net bir şekilde ayrılmadığı belirlenmiştir.
Araştırma vurguları: BLAST analizi sonuçlarına göre, Türkiye örnekleri ile coğrafi olarak yakın olduğu rusya ve Gürcistan örnekleri ile %100 eşleştiği belirlenmiştir.
