Abstract

Objective: The genus Allium L. is one of the largest monocot genera and naturally distributes in Turkey. Onion, garlic and other Allium species are among the important therapeutic agents in past and present treatment systems. They are widely used as antioxidant, anticancer, antithrombotic, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antigangrene, atherosclerotic, hypocolesterolemic, antimutagenic, antiasthmatic, antiatherogenic, immunomodulator and prebiotic all around the world due to their healing effects on many chronic diseases. Taxonomic elucidation of the genus is extremely important for bioactivity studies. In this study, we aimed to compare the leaf and scape anatomy of closely related species A. callidyction, A. peroninianum and A. hirtovaginatum belong to sect. Cupanioscordum.

Özet

Amaç: Allium L. (Amaryllidaceae) cinsi Türkiye’de doğal yayılış gösteren en geniş monokotil cinslerdendir. Soğan, sarımsak ve diğer Allium türleri geçmişte ve günümüz tedavi sistemlerinde yer alan önemli terapötik ajanlardır. Antioksidan, antikanser, antitrombotik, antidiyabetik, antimikrobiyal, antihipertansif, antigangren, aterosklerotik, hipokolesterolemik, antimutajenik, antiastmatik, antiaterojenik, bağışıklık düzenleyici ve prebiyotik olarak, birçok kronik hastalığı iyileştirici etkilerinden dolayı dünya genelinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Cinsinin taksonomisinin aydınlatılması, biyoaktivite çalışmaları için son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Allium cinsine ait Cupanioscordum seksiyonundan yakın akraba üç türün, A. callidyction, A. peroninianum ve A. hirtovaginatum, yaprak ve skapus anatomilerinin karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
