“…Gymnosperms are seed bearing plants comprises an important four subclasses such as cycadidae, Gingoidae, Gnetidae and Pinidae, representing 12 families, 83 genera and about 990 species (28 (29). Recently universality of 9 potential matK and 1 rbcL primers were assessed for barcoding gymnosperms (30).…”

Plant identification is a crucial and routine taxonomic procedure in order to understand and conserve the biodiversity. Anthropogenic activity, pollution, deforestation, and exploitation of natural resources have been threatening to the plant biodiversity. Unfortunately, the major concern of traditional identification of plants is the gradual declined number of taxonomic expertise and lack of tools which accurately discriminate plant seeds, plant parts and seedling, and herbal adulterant. Presently, it is of utmost importance that plant biodiversity to be preserved. To overcome this issues the advent of molecular marker based technique which utilized short fragment of DNA and correctly assign plant taxa to their taxonomic group, called as DNA barcoding. First time, single marker based taxon identification successfully implemented to an animal taxa using mitochondrial cytochrome I (COI) gene fragment. However, Plant DNA barcoding is more complex and it often requires more than one set of DNA markers. In the present review, we have compiled the recent progress of plant DNA barcoding in various taxonomic groups and utility of plastids and nuclear DNA based markers for plant identification.

“…Most of the Amaranthaceae family plants are wild herbs, or cultivated shrubs [3].This family contains about 165 genera and 2,040 species and it is widely dispersed in temperate and tropical zone [4].Phenotypic variations of Amaranthaceae genera tend to have partly caused by many environmental factors. [5].The phylogeny studies based on morphological traits has limitation in data accuracy because of high subjectivity [6].Hence the importance of genetic studies, especially those related to genetic and evolutionary relations among plant varieties and species.…”

Abstract:Turkey is an extraordinary country in terms of plant species diversity. Besides this diversity, Anatolian lands were hosted by many civilizations. The combination of these two factors has also contributed to a wealth of human-plant use. The plants have been used for different purposes in different civilizations such as food, medical, instrument construction, fuel, paint, feed, incense. The use of plants today, especially medical and aromatic plants, continues to increase. According to the Flora of Turkey, which plant is known to grow in which region. However, there is insufficient information on the status of plant populations. Plant sociology studies can give us satisfactory information about plant populations. In this study, Medicinal and aromatic plants of Esenli (Giresun) Forest Planning Unit, located between Alucra and Yağlıdere districts, were investigated based on plant sociology. During this study; 20 sample plots were taken. The vegetation study was carried out according to Braun-Blanquet's method. Totally, 226 naturally growing plant taxa were identified. Of these plants, 10 taxa (%4,4) belong to Pteridophyta division and 216 taxa belong to Spermatophyta division. 3 taxa (%1,3) belong to Gymnospermae subdivision, while the others 213 (%94,3) are Angiospermae subdivision. As a result of this study, 110 plant taxa which have medicinal and aromatic traits were determined in the area. These plants are 3 taxa Pteridophyta, 3 taxa from Gymnospermae and the rest from Angiospermae (104 taxa). Families, scientific names, Turkish names, usable parts and traditional uses were given in the presentation.

The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase

Abstract: We have counted the currently known, described and accepted number of plant species as ca 374,000, of which approximately 308,312 are vascular plants, with 295,383 flowering plants (angiosperms; monocots: 74,273; eudicots: 210,008).
