Abstract:

 Scrophularia fatmae Kandemir  İlhan and Scrophularia erzincanica R.R. Mill Scrophulariaceae are endemic species to Erzincan Turkiye. IUCN categories in S. erzincanica and S. fatmae are EN and CR. In the present study, we investigated levels of genetic variation and genetic structure of three populations of S. erzincanica, and two populations of S. fatmae in Erzincan using ISSR markers. For this aim, 10 primers amplified 116 total bands, with 104 89.6  being polymorphic, from five populations composed of 75 individuals. The UPGMA cluster analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between genetic variations and geographic distances. The distribution area and population size of S. fatmae, which has adapted to the alpine region, is smaller. In addition, S. fatmae has a higher tendency to self-pollination. S. erzincanica has a larger population. The number of effective pollinators in S. erzincanica and S. fatmae are three and one, respectively. With the contribution of these reasons, when we compare S. fatmae and S. erzincanica species according to the results of the research, it is seen that genetic diversity is higher in S. erzincanica. The genetic data obtained as a result of present study may be used in the development of conservation strategies for other rare and endangered plant species, in addition to S. erzincanica and S. fatmae species.

 Scrophularia fatmae Kandemir  İlhan ve Scrophularia erzincanica R.R. Mill Scrophulariaceae ErzincanTürkiyeye özgü endemik türlerdir. S. erzincanica ve S. fatmaede ki IUCN kategorileri sırasıyla EN ve CRdir. Bu çalışmada, ISSR belirteçlerini kullanarak Erzincandaki üç S. erzincanica popülasyonunun ve iki S. fatmae popülasyonunun genetik varyasyon seviyelerini ve genetik yapısı araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 10 primer, 75 bireyden oluşan beş popülasyondan 104ü 89.6 polimorfik olmak üzere toplam 116 bandı amplifiye edildi. UPGMA küme analizi, genetik varyasyonlar ve coğrafi mesafeler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Alpin bölgesine uyum sağlamış olan S. fatmaenin yayılış alanı ve populasyon büyüklüğü daha küçüktür. Ek olarak, S. fatmaenin kendi kendine tozlaşma eğilimi daha yüksektir. S. erzincanica daha büyük bir popülasyona sahiptir. S. erzincanica ve S. fatmaede etkili tozlayıcı sayısı sırasıyla üç ve birdir. Bu sebeplerin de katkısı ve araştırma sonuçlarına göre S. fatmae ve S. erzincanica türleri karşılaştırıldığında S. erzincanicada genetik çeşitliliğin daha fazla olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışma sonucunda elde edilen genetik veriler, S. erzincanica ve S. fatmae türlerinin yanı sıra diğer nadir ve tehlike altındaki bitki türleri için koruma stratejilerinin geliştirilmesinde kullanılabilir.
