Bu makalede İstanbul’daki Polygonaceae familyasına ait türler taksonomik yönden incelenmektedir. Türkiye’de 14 cinse hibritler dahil olarak 94 tür ve 9 türaltı takson bulunmaktadır. İstanbul florasında ise Fallopia 2 tür, Persicaria 5 3 alttür, Polygonum Rumex olmak üzere cinslerine toplam 26 alttür rapor edilmektedir. Bunlardan lapathifolia subsp. nodosa taksonu Türkiye Florası için yeni kayıt...

Persicaria maculosa Gray (Redshank) is a distinct species which can be distinguished from all forms of P. lapathifolia (L.) Delarbe (Pale Persicaria) based on the outer tepal veins. The recording and identification these two taxa clouded by colour variation (especially in latter species) due to varied treatments different works or Floras. This article describes ways separate gives details vario...

In this study, the identity and distribution of plants and the structure of their associated rhizobacterial communities were examined in an oil-contaminated site. The number of plant species that formed a community or were scattered was 24. The species living in soil highly contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) (9,000-4,5000 mg/g-soil) were Cynodon dactylon, Persicaria lapathifoli...

Pond populations in Cape Cod described as Persicaria puritanorum (≡ Polygonum puritanorum) have been treated by recent authors as a synonym of P. maculosa (≡ Polygonum persicaria) based on gross morphology. However, consistent differences in leaf and inflorescence features raise the question as to whether this is an extreme phenotype of P. maculosa, an ecotype of that species, or a distinct tax...

Using a low-copy nuclear gene region (LEAFY second intron) we show multiple instances of allopolyploid speciation in Persicaria (Polygonaceae), which includes many important weeds. Fifteen species seem to be allopolyploids, which is higher than the number found in previous comparisons of chloroplast DNA and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) phylogenies. This underestimation ...
