“…However, the genus has a complicated taxonomy due to small number of characters. Based on study of Pakravan (2008) on Alcea, only examination of the leaf sequence and confi guration of the carpels would represent valuable characters. For example, A. fl avovirens and A. glabrata differ only in the size of the carpel and width of wing (Pakravan, 2008).…”

“…Alcea contains only a few species in Europe (Escobar et al, 2009). Riedl (1976) has reported 39 species in Iran, but the number has been reduced to 34 due to taxonomic rearrangement (Pakravan, 2008). The mucilage that containing the plants of the Malvaceae family are sources of carbohydrates, which are used in medicine (Azizov et al, 2007).…”

“…Moreover, phenotypic characters are small in number and might be epistatically controlled (Sensoy et al, 2007). Alcea has a complicated taxonomy due to the very small number of diagnostic morphological characters, such as leaf sequence and confi guration of the carpels (Pakravan, 2008). DNA markers offer many advantages over morphological characters since are less infl uenced by the environment and provide a direct detection at the DNA level (Pradeepkumar et al, 2003;Joy et al, 2007).…”

Abstract:In this work, sequence-related amplifi ed polymorphism (SRAP) marker was employed to assess the genetic diversity and genetic similarity relationships among14 species of Alcea collected from northwest of Iran. Seventeen SRAP primer combinations generated 104 fragments, of which 97 (93%) were polymorphic, with an average of 5.7 polymorphic fragments per primer. Percentage of polymorphism ranged from 50% (ME2-EM6) to a maximum of 100%, and mean polymorphism information content value obtained was 0.3. The lowest genetic similarity (0.17) was observed between A. sophiae and A. fl avovirens, while the highest was found between A. digitata and A. longipedicellata (0.68). Two main clusters were detected using UPGMA, which did not correspond to geographical origin of the species. The study indicates that SRAP markers could be good candidates for assessing genetic variation in Alcea. Key words: Alcea, genetic relationship, molecular marker, polymorphism.Resumen: En este trabajo se usó el marcador de polimorfi smo de amplifi cado de secuencias relacionadas (SRAP) para evaluar la diversidad genética y las relaciones de similitud genética en 14 especies de Alcea distribuidas en el noroeste de Irán. La combinación de 17 primers de SRAP generaron 104 fragmentos, de los cuales 97 (93%) fueron polimórfi cos, con un promedio de 5.7 fragmentos polimórfi cos por primer. El promedio de polimorfi smos varió entre 50% (ME2-EM6) y 100%, y el contenido de información de polimorfi smo fue de 0.3. Las semejanzas genéticas más bajas (0.17) se observaron entre A. sophiae y A. fl avovirens mientras la más alta se encontró entre A. digitata y A. longipedicellata (0.68). Usando UPGMA se encontraron dos grupos principales sin relación al origen geográfi co de las especies. El estudio indica que el marcador SRAP podría ser un buen candidato para evaluar la variación genética en Alcea.

“…Alcea is a large genus recognized in the family Malvaceae, including about 70 species, mostly perennial, sometimes annual and biennial ones, indigenous to Asia and Europe [2]. The genus has undergone marked species radiation in Iran including 34 endemic species, and numerous taxa are naturally scattered across west and southwest Iran [3].…”

Organ-oriented phytochemical profiling and radical scavenging activity of Alcea spp. (Malvaceae) from Iran

et al. 2020

Polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of flowers and herbage of three species of the genus Alcea were determined. Flowers showed high total phenolic content and yielded values ranging from 26.83 (Alcea aucheri var. lobata) to 82.59 (A. aucheri var. aucheri) mg GAE/g DW. Total anthocyanin content was highest (934.98 mg/ml) in the flowers of A. auchrei var. aucheri (A12), whereas the content was minimal (1.34 mg/ml) in the herbage of Alcea koelzii (A2). The highest total flavonoid content was recorded in A. koelzii (16.15 mg Q/g DW), while the lowest value was achieved in A. aucheri var. lobata (8.06 mg Q/g DW). The highest concentration of mucilage was recorded in the flowers from Alcea arbelensis (32%), whereas those of A. aucheri var. lobata yielded the lowest value (1.05%). Principal component analysis scatter plot, derived from all data for flowers in 13 Alcea specimens revealed a different quantitative phytochemical profile. The strongest radical scavenging activity, measured by DPPH method, was recorded in A. aucheri var. aucheri with an IC 50 of 34.06 μg/ml.

“…It is therefore most encouraging to see that almost 100 new taxa from throughout the world was published in 2008. Most novelties are vascular plants from Turkey (Aksoy et al 2008, Dogan et al 2008, Dönmez 2008, Eker and Koyuncu 2008, Gemici et al 2008, Ilçim 2008, Ilçim et al 2008, Teksen and Aytaç 2008, Uysal 2008, Yaprak and Yurdakulol 2008, Zielinski and Tomaszewski, 2008), Iran (Hamdi et al 2008, Pakravan 2008, Khosravi and Poormahdi 2008, Ranjbar et al 2008), India (Baruah and Nath 2008, Raole and Desai 2008), China (Cong et al 2008, Gao and Zhang 2008, Häkkinen and Wang 2008, Jiang and Liu 2008, Jin et al 2008, Li and Wang 2008, Lidén and Van De Veire 2008, Qiao and Zhang 2008, Shi et al 2008b, Song et al 2008, Tian et al 2008, Wang et al 2008, Wei et al 2008, Xiang and Peng 2008, Xiang et al 2008, Yi et al 2008, Zhang and Li 2008, Zhang et al 2008a,b,c, Zhou et al 2008a) and south east Asia (Ngamriabsakul 2008, Turner and Saunders 2008), demonstrating the botanical richness and the great need for basic taxonomic research in these regions. For example, in one single paper, Vermeulen (2008) described 38 new species of the orchid genus Bulbophyllum from New Guinea alone.…”
