Abstract

In this study, the morpho-anatomical features and volatile components of Chelidonium majus L were investigated. C. majus L., the only species of the Chelidonium L. genus in our country, is known locally as ‘Temre otu’ or ‘Kırlangıçotu’. This species is recorded for the first time in Flora of Tukey records for square B3. Morphological structures of flower, leaf and stem were examined and measurements were taken. Cross sections from the root and body of the plant, cross and superficial sections from the leaf were taken and anatomically examined. The essential oil obtained from the above-ground parts of the plant was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The main compounds of the essential oil of C. majus were phytol (22.4%), methyl linolenate (13.2%) and nonacosan (6.5%).

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Chelidonium majus L. bitkisinin morfo-anatomik özellikleri ve uçucu bileşenleri araştırılmıştır. Chelidonium L. cinsinin ülkemizdeki tek türü olan C. majus yöresel olarak ‘Temre otu’ veya ‘Kırlangıçotu’ isimleriyle bilinmektedir. Bu tür Flora of Tukey kayıtlarına göre B3 karesi için ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Bitkinin çiçek, yaprak ve gövdesinin morfolojik yapıları incelenerek ölçümleri alınmıştır. Bitkinin kök ve gövdesinden enine kesitler, yapraklarından ise enine ve yüzeysel kesitler alınarak anatomik incelemeleri yapılmıştır. Bitkinin toprak üstü kısımlarından elde edilen uçucu yağın GC ve GC/MS analizleri yapılmıştır. C. majus bitkisinin uçucu yağının başlıca bileşikleri fitol (%22,4), metil linolenat (%13,2) ve nonakosan (%6,5) olarak bulunmuştur.
