    Effect of kiln dust from a cement factory on growth of Vicia faba L.
    (Triveni Enterprises, 2012) Uysal, Ismet; Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel; Ozturk, Munir
    This study was undertaken to study the effects of different amounts of kiln dust mixed with soil on the seed germination, plant growth, leaf area and water content of Vicia faba cv. Eresen. The reason for this was that cement kiln dust generated as a by-product from the cement factories is rich in potassium, sulfate and other compounds. This product becomes a serious problem when it comes in contact with water. The dust was collected from a cement factory located in Canakkale. Various elements such as Al, Co, Mo, Ca, B, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S. Se and Zn were determined both in soil as well as kiln dust. Kiln dust was mixed with soil in pots (20 cm diameter) to make seven different treatments varying from 15 to 1059 kiln dust kg(-1) of soil. The experiment lasted for 4 months. Seeds of V faba were sown in the pots filled with mixtures of preanalysed kiln dust and soil. Germination was high in the pots with a lower treatment of cement kiln dust. However, lower germination rates were observed in the pots mixed with the highest and the medium amounts of cement kiln dust. Plants growing in the soil including 15 g kiln dust showed better performance in length as compared to control. Leaf area increased with increase in cement kiln dust content up to 609 kiln dust kg(-1) of soil, but declined after 75 g kg(-1). Water content of leaves (mg cm(-2) leaf area) was found to be constantly decreasing with respect to increasing cement kiln content in the pots. Differences between the averages were evaluated by Tukey test and results were found to be significant.

    ETHNOECOLOGY OF POISONOUS PLANTS OF TURKEY AND NORTHERN CYPRUS
    (Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2008) Ozturk, Munir; Uysal, Ismet; Guecel, Salih; Mert, Tuba; Akcicek, Eren; Celik, Sezgin
    Interest in plants is increasing and much work is being carried out these days on their multipurpose uses. A great impetus has been given to this during the last 3 decades. Several publications have been made by different investigators. Large number of naturally growing plants are collected and sold at the markets. Nearly 500 plants are used for primary health care in Turkey and a 23 in Cyprus. However, not much is known about the poisonous plants. Some of these are toxic and others cause reaction. Plant poisoning lies around 6%, rurals suffer more from the consumption of naturally growing plants as compared to urban dwellers. One has to be very cautious before using these plants as the plants used for the purpose of treatment of diseases as a whole or parts thereof or consumed by the public directly could prove dangerous for the health. This paper describes ethnoecological aspects of the widely distributed major poisonous plants in Turkey and Northern Cyprus which can prove fatal if used unknowingly. Major applications and active constituents of plant taxa are outlined.

    Plant species microendemism, rarity and conservation of pseudo - alpine zone of Kazdagi (Mt. Ida) national park - Turkey
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Ozturk, Munir; Uysal, Ismet; Karabacak, Ersin; Celik, Sezgin
    Kazdag (Mt. Ida) forms a natural border between the Provinces of Canakkale and Balikesir in the north-western part of Turkey. It was declared as National Park in 1993 because of its rich plant cover, a restricted zone of Abies nordmanniana ssp. equi-trojani forest, natural beauty and mythology. The pseudo-alpine zone consists of 189 specific and infraspecific taxa of vascular plants. A total of 55 endemic taxa (29.10%) were recorded from this area. Out of these 22 (40%) taxa are restricted only to this area, and 5 taxa are non-endemic but rare in Turkey. In this paper, habitat characteristics, conservation strategies and management of these taxa are given. Our investigations revealed that, out of 55 taxa, 12 are critically endangered (CR), 10 endangered (EN), 11 vulnerable (VU), 9 not threatened (NT) and 18 with lower risk (LC). Although Hieracium idae, Dianthus arpadianus var. trojanus, Minuartia garckeana and Paronychia sintenisii are recorded as data deficient (DD) category in IUCN criteria, these taxa are transferred to CR category.

    STUDIES ON THE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF AYVACIK-CANAKKALE IN TURKEY
    (Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2012) Uysal, Ismet; Guecel, Salih; Tutenocakli, Tulay; Ozturk, Munir
    A total of 117 taxa belonging to 42 families were collected from the Ayvacik city of Canakkale. Out of these 43 taxa were observed to be used for medicinal purposes with 54 applications. Lamiaceae dominated the list with 12 taxa followed by Asteraceae with 5 species and Malvaceae, Liliaceae, Urticaceae with 2 species each.The most commonly used taxa are Origanum majorona, O. onites, O. vulgare ssp. hirtum, Salvia fruticosa, Sideritis perfoliata, Thymus longicaulis ssp. chaubardii var. chaubardii, Lavandula stoechas ssp. stoechas. Teucrium polium, Urtica dioica, Halm sylvestris, Portulaca oleracea, Urtica rubra ssp. caucasica. Vitex agnus-castus, Vitis vinifera, Asparagus acutifolius, Foeniculum vulgare, Juniperus oxycedrus ssp. oxycedrus, and Hypericum perforation. The taxa recorded here have been mostly used for the treatment of cough (18.6%), stomachache (13.4%), kidney ailments (11.6%), cold, analgesic, diuretic and hemorrhoid (9. 3%), injuries, tonic, abdominal pain, laxative and dyspepsia (6.9%).
