This research aims to investigate the effect of temporal changes on the terpene concentration in the needles of P. pinea from two different regions. The study focused on pine trees ($P.$ $pinea$) located in Kozak Plateau (Bergama/Izmir) and the Pamukkale University (Kınıklı/Denizli) campus. Needle samples from randomly marked trees were collected monthly throughout the year, generally on the same dates. The terpene content of the needle leaves was analyzed using GC-MS. The differences in terpene amounts obtained from the trees were statistically evaluated using the R statistical program. As a result of the analysis, 19 terpene-derived compounds were identified from the Kozak Plateau samples and 12 from the Pamukkale University samples. When examining the fluctuations of the compounds in different months, it was determined that α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, linalool, trans-β-caryophyllene, β-selinene, guaiol, α-eudesmol, and manoyloxide showed statistically significant differences. Additionally, the Pearson correlation analysis results indicated a positive relationship among almost all compounds.

İki Farklı Bölgedeki $Pinus$ $pinea$ L. (Pinaceae) İğne Yapraklarındaki Terpen Bileşiminin Mevsimsel Değişimi

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı zamansal değişimlerin $P.$ $pinea$ iğne yapraklarındaki terpen konsantrasyonuna etkisinin iki farklı bölgede araştırılmasıdır. Çalışma alanı ve materyali olarak, Kozak Yaylası (Bergama/İzmir) ve Pamukkale Üniversitesi (Kınıklı/Denizli) Kampüsü içerisindeki fıstıkçamı ağaçları ($P.$ $pinea$) seçilmiştir. Rastgele olarak işaretlenmiş ağaçlara ait iğne yaprak örneklemeleri tüm yılı kapsayacak şekilde her ay genelde aynı tarihlerde gerçekleştirilmiştir. İğne yaprakların içerdiği terpen miktarı GC-MS analizleri ile incelenmiştir. Ağaçlara ait elde edilen terpen miktarlarındaki farklılıkları istatistiksel olarak değerlendirmek için R istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda Kozak Yaylası örneklerinden 19, Pamukkale Üniversitesi örneklerinden ise 12 terpen türevli bileşen (mono- ve seskuiterpen) belirlenmiştir. Bileşiklerin farklı aylardaki dalgalanmaları incelendiğinde α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, linalool, trans-β-caryophyllene, β-selinene, guaiol, α-eudesmol ve manoyloxide'in istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, Pearson korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre hemen hemen tüm bileşikler arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişkinin varlığı da ortaya konulmuştur.
