    DNA barcoding study on Sideritis trojana bornm. An endemic medicinal plant of IDA mountain, Turkey
    (2010) Tezcan, Meltem; Vlachonasios, Konstantinos; Akı, Cüneyt
    DNA barcodes are short parts of DNA used to identify an unknown specimen of the species. DNA barcodes have been used in associating the stages of life, determining cryptic species, preventing illegal trade, etc. Herein, we used two DNA barcodes, trnH-psbA intergenic spacer and matK region to discriminate endemic Ida Mountain Sideritis trojana B. plant. We assessed the genetic relatives of S. trojana with the other Lamiaceae, and compared the classical taxonomie classifications of the species with the classifications obtained through DNA barcode trees. matK was found to be more suitable for DNA barcoding study because of the easiness of the alignment and constructing the tree. matK was generally enough to discriminate species. It can be used as a core barcode but in the identification-based DNA barcode investigations, combination of matK with a more variable region can be suggested. © by PSP.

    Phytogeographic versus political borders: european union's lifelong learning programme towards a common concept in the East Aegean (E. Greece, W. Turkey)
    (2010) Stefanaki, Anastasia; Aki, Cüneyt; Vlachonasios, Konstantinos; Kokkini, Stella
    This article presents a bilateral cooperation between School of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and Department of Biology, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (Turkey), under the auspices of the European Lifelong Learning Programme-Erasmus. An Erasmus placement grant was provided to a doctoral student of Aristotle University, for the study of the affinities of Labiatae plants between Chios Island [East Aegean Islands (EAI), Greece] and the adjacent Çeşme-Karaburun Peninsula (Anatolia, Turkey). The study resulted in close affinities of the Labiatae in Chios and Çeşme-Karaburun [high similarity indices, similar chorological spectra, and occurrence of narrowly distributed species (Anatolia-EAI-Balkan endemics) in both regions]. Additionally, extensive field work diroughout Çeşme-Karaburun Peninsula gave 11 new records for this region, meeting the first objective of the European Plant Conservation Strategy regarding documentation of plant diversity, in Anatolia, one of the biodiversity hot-spots of the Mediterranean basin. The article concludes with the benefits for a doctoral student through such crossborder mobility cooperations and further attempts to think towards a common concept in the East Aegean, where bom the East Aegean Islands and the adjacent Anatolian mainland will be studied as one phytogeographic entity. This cooperation is the first mutual step of Greece and Turkey for a joint study on the phytogeography of the East Aegean, a region, where political borders are of no phytogeographic sense. © by PSP.

An Erasmus placement grant was provided to a doctoral student of Aristotle University, for the study of the affinities of Labiatae plants between Chios Island [East Aegean Islands (EAT), Greece] and the adjacent Cesme-Karaburun Peninsula (Anatolia, Turkey). The study resulted in close affinities of the Labiatae in Chios and Cesme-Karaburun [high similarity indices, similar chorological spectra, and occurrence of narrowly distributed species (Anatolia-EAI-Balkan endemics) in both regions]. Additionally, extensive field work throughout Cesme-Karaburun Peninsula gave 11 new records for this region, meeting the first objective of the European Plant Conservation Strategy regarding documentation of plant diversity, in Anatolia, one of the biodiversity hot-spots of the Mediterranean basin. The article concludes with the benefits for a doctoral student through such cross-border mobility cooperations and further attempts to think towards a common concept in the East Aegean, where both the East Aegean Islands and the adjacent Anatolian mainland will be studied as one phytogeographic entity.
