: Epilobium and Chamaenerion included 165 and 8 species over the world, respectively. The members of the genera are distributed particularly in moist habitats from subpolar to tropical regions. This paper aims to provide improvements in the phylogeny of the genera Epilobium and Chamaenerion using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) of nuclear DNA and mat K gene sequence data evaluation with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference criterations. A total of 188 individual accessions belonging to 28 taxa were newly generated and 110 sequences imported from GenBank (NCBI) were analysed. The nrDNA and plastid DNA gene trees supported to treat Epilobium and Chamaenerion as separate genera in two well-supported clades. The mat K analyses revealed a better resolution than nrDNA ITS within the Chamaenerion clade and supported the inclusion of C. angustifolium in the sect. Chamaenerion . However, most of the examined species mostly fell into the polytomy in both trees excluding E. roseum subsp. consimile which should be considered a distinct species in the Epilobium contrary to morphological treatment in many national flora books. Both phylogenetic trees also support distinguishing E. prionophyllum from E. anatolicum previously treated as a subspecies of E. anatolicum . In conclusion, these preliminary phylogenetic analyses have contributed significantly to the determination of the limits of members belonging to Epilobium and Chamaenerion distributed in Türkiye.

: Two popular cultivars of tuberose ( Agave amica (Medik.) Theide and Govaerts syn. Polianthes tuberosa L.) from the family Asparagaceae, widely cultivated for floricultural purposes are ‘Calcutta Single’ (CS) and ‘Calcutta Double’ (CD). It was evidenced that CS flowers emit intense scent volatiles as compared to CD flowers, while CD flowers retained higher contents of internal pool of scent volatiles than CS flowers. Such contrasting observations between the flowers of two cultivars suggest the role of possible barriers such as cuticles that prevent the emission of scent volatiles. The cuticular structure of both cultivars was studied using different histochemical approaches, including light and epi-fluorescence microscopies. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to understand the cuticular deposition in the cultivars. Our observations confirmed relatively higher cuticular thickness in CD flowers than in CS. SEM results showed the accumulation of wax crystalloids in CS flower and the formation of cuticular nanoridges in CD flowers over the surfaces of the tepals. In addition, accumulation of lipid droplets was also noticed on the tepal peels of the cultivars showing a denser deposition in CD. Our observations suggest that the presence of wax crystalloids in CS flowers enhances the emission of volatiles, while in CD flowers, the presence of thick cuticular nanoridges possibly deters the scent emission and accumulated as an internal pool in higher amounts. The stomatal behavior also indicates a proportional relationship between cuticular deposition and scent emission; low cuticular deposition corresponds to higher emission of floral volatiles emission and vice versa as observed in CS and CD flowers, respectively.

: The lichens serve as an ecological niche for a group of unexplored fungal species residing inside their thallus without causing any noticeable symptoms and such fungi are termed as endolichenic fungi. The objective of the current study is to check the endolichenic fungal diversity within lichen genus Parmotrema. The study resulted in a total of 450 endolichenic fungi (ELF) isolates from 15 species of Parmotrema . Out of these, 73 sporulating isolates were identified using ITS sequences which resulted in 47 species under 23 genera. The phylogenetic assemblage of the fungi comprised Sordariomycetes (84.50%), Dothideomycetes (5.63%), Eurotiomycetes (7.04%), Pezizomycetes (1.40%), and Agaricomycetes (1.40%). Daldinia eschscholtzii , Xylaria feejeensis , Nemania diffusa , Annulohypoxylon truncatum , and Nigrospora sphaerica were frequently occurring isolates inhabiting at least five different species of Parmotrema. Furthermore, Daldinia eschscholtzii and Nemania diffusa were found to be with maximum colonization rate of 1.55% and relative frequency of 0.148. Sorenson’s similarity coefficient was found to be highest between P. hababianum and P. nilgherrense with 0.36. The study encountered fungal taxa such as Annulohypoxylon truncatum , Coprinellus radians , Cladorrhinum sp., Plectania rhytidia , Fimetariella rabenhorstii , and Liangia sinensis earlier not reported as endolichenic fungi.

: Revealing genetic diversity is both essential for plant systematics and also provides important information for agricultural sciences. Crambe hispanica var. abyssinica is an oil seed crop. Wild plants related to crops (Crop Wild Relatives) are important resources for the genetic improvement of cultivated species. In order to reveal the genetic diversity of wild Crambe taxa of Turkey, we used ITS and trn L-F markers to create the haplotype networks and phylogeny reconstruction. Thirty-nine accessions belonging to 8 Crambe taxa were used as the material of our study: Crambe orientalis var . orientalis with 18 accessions, Crambe orientalis var . sulphurea with 3 accessions, Crambe orientalis var . dasycarpa with 1 accession, Crambe alutacea with 1 accession, Crambe grandiflora with 1 accession, Crambe tataria var . tataria with 8 accessions, Crambe tataria var. aspera with 2 accessions, and Crambe maritima with 5 accessions. The phylogeny inference of ITS and trn L-F data revealed two major lineages: one consisted of Crambe maritima and Crambe tataria accessions, while the other consisted of Crambe orientalis subsp . orientalis , Crambe orientalis subsp . sulphurea , Crambe orientalis var . dasycarpa , Crambe grandiflora , and Crambe alutacea. In the haplotype networks based trn L-F region, all Crambe maritima accessions and most of the Crambe. orientalis accessions shared one haplotype. However, Crambe maritima , Crambe orientalis , and Crambe tataria shared no common haplotype in the networks based on ITS region. In both networks, Crambe alutacea shared one haplotype with some Crambe orientalis . Crambe maritima and Crambe orientalis shared the H1 haplotype . Other haplotypes differed from the most common haplotype (H1) by one or two base pairs. Crambe orientalis is the species with the highest haplotype diversity and IT6 haplotype has the highest seed oil content among CWR of Crambe in Turkey.

: Plants activate glutathione (GSH)-dependent detoxification pathways at biochemical and molecular levels under boron (B) toxicity. Sulfate uptake and transport are necessary for GSH biosynthesis in plants. Therefore, the transcriptional regulation of some sulfate transporters was determined in this study to clarify the importance of these transporters in leaf and root tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana under toxic B conditions. The expression level of SULTR1;3 was dramatically increased in leaf and root tissues under moderate and severe toxic B conditions, suggesting source-to-sink sulfate translocation under B toxicity. Stable expression levels of SULTR2;1 , SULTR2;2 , and low SULTR3;5 expression might restrict the sulfate movement into the xylem in leaves. SULTR3;1 , SULTR3;2 , SULTR3;3 , SULTR3;4 , SULTR4;1 and SULTR4;2 were induced in root tissues under toxic B conditions, indicating an induction of root-to-shoot sulfate translocation. These results showed that B toxicity might disrupt the homogeneous distribution of sulfate and sulfur-containing compounds in both tissues of A. thaliana . Moreover, we performed in silico analysis of microarray experiments to determine the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under B toxicity and sulfur deficiency. Gene ontology, hierarchical clustering, and coexpression network analyses of these DEGs demonstrated the requirement of sulfate transporters under B toxicity. A set of genes involved in sulfur metabolism coexpress with sulfate transporters under B toxicity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report focusing on the molecular regulation of sulfate transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana under B toxicity.

: The carob tree, which is a member of the Fabaceae family, is an agrosilvopastoral tree whose pre-Mediterranean tropical origin appears well established on the basis of genetic, fossil and physiological data. C. siliqua has recently been successfully introduced from the Mediterranean basin to other parts of the world that have a Mediterranean climate. In terms of its domestication, there is paleobotanical, philological, ecological and historical evidence to suggest that the species was spread by people from Arabia, where it took refuge during the Ice Age, to Mesopotamia and then on to the western Mediterranean. This “eastern refugium hypothesis” (ERH) postulates the existence of a single refuge for the carob tree in the eastern Mediterranean and a dissemination by humans to the west of the region concomitant with its domestication. However, recent results of phylogenetic and fossil analyses have revealed the existence of a western refuge, thus refuting the single ERH hypothesis and supporting local use and domestication of the carob tree from native populations throughout the Mediterranean. This paper advances other arguments of a historical, philological, ecological and sociocultural nature that support the existence of a western refugium and also emphasise the important role played by the Romans and particularly by the Arabs and Andalusians in the propagation and domestication of the carob tree in the western Mediterranean
