“…Species are predominantly concentrated in warm temperate regions of the Mediterranean basin countries. Turkey is the country has the highest diversification with 21 species (24 taxa) and 13 hybrids, 25 of them endemics (Arabacı, Yazıcı, Özcan, & Dirmenci, 2019; Dirmenci et al., 2019; Dirmenci, Özcan, et al, 2018; Dirmenci, Yazıcı, Özcan, Celenk, & Martin, 2018). Although, some species of the genus have been proven to have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activity (Çarıkçı et al., 2018; Yılmaz et al., 2017), there are limited studies dealing with their effects on enzymatic activity (Kuijpers et al., 2014; Sarikurkcu et al., 2015).…”
