    Alliums, an Underutilized Genetic Resource in the East Mediterranean
    (Int Soc Horticultural Science, 2012) Öztürk, Münir; Gücel, Salih; Altay, Volkan; Altundağ, Ernaz
    The east mediterranean is the ecoregion overlapped by the fertile crescent, which is regarded as among one of the specific and vulnerable ecosystems. The region is also known as the cradle of civilizations and possesses a rich biodiversity. It has served as a land-bridge for the present day distribution of old world flora and fauna. One of the taxa represented widely in its flora is the genus Allium. The taxa distributed in the east mediterranean are; 27 in Syria; 32 in Lebanon; 8 in Jordan; 25 in Lebanon and Syria; 2 endemics from Lebanon and Palestine; one endemic from Syria, Lebanon and Turkey and 42 in Israil. There are two edible taxa in Cyprus namely Allium neopolitanum and A. ampleoprasum both consumed in large quantities and evaluted as medicinal plants too. It is one of the largest genera of Turkey with 188 taxa, 3 being cultivated and 73 are endemic. Latter include Irano-Turanian (47), mediterranean (72-49 east mediterranean), Euro-Siberian (17) phytogeographical elements, with nearly 61 taxa in danger of extinction. In spite of this rich diversity the genus is an underutilized genetic resource in the region. An attempt will be made here to present some general features of the wild Alliums in the region in order to put forward stratagies for the development of a germplasm centre for Alliums, which can serve as a basis for more productive new introduction studies.

    A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS USED IN THE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE OF IGDIR (TURKEY), NAKHCHIVAN (AZERBAIJAN), AND TABRIZ (IRAN)
    (Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2018) Öztürk, Münir; Altundağ, Ernaz; Ibadullayeva, S. Jamshid; Altay, Volkan; Aslanipour, Behnaz
    A total of 341 naturally distributed taxa belonging to 65 families are used in the traditional medicine in Igdir (Turkey), Nakhchivan (Azerbaijan), and Tabriz (Iran). Local people in three different regions generally use herbal remedies for digestive, respiratory, urogenital systems, as well as dermal, neurological and psyschological diseases. On the basis of localities three highly prevelant usesin Igdir are colds (32 taxa), stomach disorders (28 taxa), and cough (24 taxa); in Nakhchivan rheumatism (24 taxa), gastrointestinal disorders (24 taxa), and anthelmintic (20 taxa), and in Tabriz diuretic (24 taxa), fever (22 taxa), and cough (20 taxa). Our findings reveal that in these three areas belonging to three neighbouring countries 4 taxa are widely distributed and used almost forthe same applications; Glycyrrhiza glabra (for digestive and respiratory systems), Malus sylvestris ssp. orientalis (for respiratory system), Rosa canina (for digestive and urinogenital systems), and Urtica dioica (for digestive system). The studied areas show several resemblances from cultural and other aspects.

    Plant Diversity of the Drylands in Southeastern Anatolia-Turkey: Role in Human Health and Food Security
    (Cabi Publishing-C A B Int, 2017) Öztürk, Münir; Altay, Volkan; Güçel, Salih; Altundağ, Ernaz
    Two of the gene centres, the Mediterranean and the Near East, meet in Turkey, which comprises the Irano-Turanian, Mediterranean and Euro-Siberian phytogeographical divisions. The country is situated on the crossroads of important migratory routes and has been home to several civilizations, therefore increasing its significance for plant diversity. It is accepted as the centre of origin for several plants like pea, wheat, flax, lentil, chickpea, beet, tuberous species, herbaceous species like clover, medics, oats, together with woody species like pistachios, pear, vines, apple, plum and pomegranate. Wheat and barley are said to have been first cultivated in the fertile crescent. Very recent studies have revealed that wheat was cultivated for the first time at Karacadag. and its environs located in Southeastern Anatolia. In this study we have therefore included Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras., Mardin,. Sanliurfa, Adiyaman, Siirt, S. irnak and Hakkari States from the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The plants distributed in the region were evaluated for their role in food security. The references available on this topic were fully surveyed and current use by the local inhabitants was recorded together with the way they use these species. The plant taxa distributed in the region were studied and their potential as animal feed evaluated. Generally these belong to the families of Fabaceae and Poaceae. Our investigations showed that the taxa such as Allium scorodoprasum, Anethum graveolens, Capparis spinosa var. spinosa, Crataegus monogyna ssp. monogyna, Geranium tuberosum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Gundelia tournefortii var. armata, Lepidium sativum ssp. sativum, Malva sylvestris, M. neglecta, Mentha pulegium, Morus nigra, Nasturtium officinale, Nigella sativa, Olea europaea, Orchis coriophora, Ornithogalum narbonense, Rheum ribes, Rhus coriaria, Pistacia khinjuk, P. vera, Portulaca oleracea, Rubus sanctus, Rumex acetosella, R. pulcher, Thymbra spicata var. spicata, Thymus sp., Trigonella foenum-graecum, Urtica dioica and U. urens are used by the locals as food, in salad and spices, and also consumed as tea. In addition to these, taxa such as Capparis ovata, C. spinosa, Cerasus mahaleb, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Pistacia khinjuk, P. terebinthus, Rhus coriaria and Thymbra spicata are collected from the wild and sold in the country; also exported. Many taxa distributed in the region are used in traditional folk medicine. These are given alphabetically with their botanical name, part of the plant that is used, ailment treated and information on the preparations used. The taxa used as dye plants were also recorded. This investigation is expected to serve as a basis for future food security questions in the region.
