MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF SOME GEOPHYTES TAXA FROM TURKEY; SYSTEMATIC APPROACHES

To determine the evolutionary relationships among some members of geophytes collected from their natural habitat in Kulp-Diyarbakır we carried out molecular phylogenetic analysis one nuclear DNA (nrDNA) region (internal transcribed spacer, ITS) and chloroplast (cpDNA) (intergenic spacer trnL-F). Despite using maximum likelihood done by two different source show differences it was identified that monocotyl petaloid taxa differ dicotyledone geophyte ones. Also both trees reveal Serapias, Anacamptis, Cephalanthera, Himanthoglossum Dactylorhiza are nested Orchis. Therefore infraspecific these genera should be re-evaluated according to our study results. Dicotyl geophyts phylogeny accordance with classical systematic order Flora Turkey accuracy interspecific distinctions taxa.
