Essential oil components were determined before inflorescences, during inflorescences and after inflorescences of species grown in wild and field conditions. They were analyzed with Gas Cromotogrofi (GC). The highest essential oil rate were obtained from native O. majorana (%8.2) which was harvested during inflorescences and followed by field grown O. onites (%5.2). Eighteen compounds were identified in the essential oil of oregano species under studied conditions. In the field grown plants. Carvacrol which is a main component in oregano was found 56.90% in O. majorana before inflorescences, 42.90% in O. saccatum, 39.90% in O.vulgare subsp. hirtum, 29.20% in O. solymicum during inflorescences stage. Another main component, Linalool was found 80.90% in O. onites after inflorescences of field grown plants. In the native plants, Carvacrol was found as followed ; O. saccatum (34.20%) before inflorescences stage, O. majorana (52.40%), O. onites (31.80%) and O. vulgare subsp. hirtum (39.50%) during inflorescences. Native O. solymicum contains Linalool (20.10%) and Thymol (19.80%) as the main components. Essential oil components showed great variations within the species as well.

The experiment was arranged as randomised plot design with 3 replications. Before planting the cuttings are solaced by Iba solutions (Thymus spp. 2000 ppm, the others 3000 ppm) for 5 seconds. According to results obtained from experiments number of root was changed between 1 to 33,03 and root lenght was changed between 0.50 to 6,70 cm. The highest root number and the longest root lenght was obtained from Salvia fruticosa and the lowest root number and shortest root lenght was obtained from Satureja thymbrah.

TUÐRUL AY², K.TURGUT¹ ¹Akdeniz University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, Antalya, Turkey ² Batý Akdeniz Agriculture Research Institue, Antalya, Turkey A CTAB-based DNA extraction protokol is described to obtain large scale, high molecular weight, restrictable and amplifiable nuclear, mitochondrial and chloplast DNAs from several LABIATAE species widely grown in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Spectrophotometer, restriction enzym digestions and PCR analyses along with agarose gel separation studies confirmed that large scale, high molecular weight and restrictable DNAs were obtained. Mean of the extracted total DNA was 673.2 ìg/g ranging from 510 to 1410 ìg/g across the 31 samples belong to 14 genus. Coisolotion of genomic and organelle DNAs were also confirmed using organelle and nuclear DNA specific primers. Suitability of the extraction method for DNA fingerprinting techniques such as RAPD, SSRLP, DAMD and PCR-RFLP was confirmed. This DNA extraction method might be useful for direct comparison, classification and molecular mapping of LABIATAE species.

AY, MEHMET KARACA¹ ¹Akdeniz University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, Antalya, Turkey ² Akdeniz University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Antalya, Turkey ³ Batý Akdeniz Agriculture Research Institue, Antalya, Turkey Aromatic plant species have been used for thousands of years for medicinal, aromatic, fungicide, insecticide and bactericide properties. Due to these properties many medicinal and aromatic plant species are undergoing domestication and cultivar development. Salvia is large group perennials, annuals and shrubs found wild in Turkey by 94 taxa belonging to 89 species with 50% endemism. DNA tecnologies have been safely used in species identification and many other purposes. In this study we studied chloroplast DNAs (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) in 7 different Salvia spp. And a control. Plant samples were collected natural growing areas in the Mediterranean Basin of Turkey and grown in experimental fields of Batý Akdeniz Agriculture Research Institue, Antalya, Turkey. Research used Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Lenght Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to identify species cpDNAs or mtDNAs that would provide valuable information in taxonomy, phytochemistry molecular ecology, domestication and agronomical studies of Salvia spp.. This study initially utilized 7 choloplast and 7 mitochondria gene specific primer pairs and 4 restriction endonucleases. We identifed that the use of 2 chloroplast specific gene primer pairs plus 2 restriction endonuclease enzymes could differentiate all the samples used. We determined genetic relationships among the Salvia spp. Using UPGMA and Neighbor-Joining methods. Results indicated that among the organelle genomes within the Salvia spp. Chloroplast DNA makeup differed in comparison to the that of the mitochondria. Overall, results demostrated that PCR-RFLP technique is a powerful and reliable method to differentiate and determine the genetic relationshipsin Salvia species.
