“…Compared with the studies conducted in the vicinity of our research area, the study from Boz€ uy€ uk shared 19 common taxa (G€ uler et al 2015), the study from central Anatolia shared 18 common taxa (Sezik et al 2001), the study from inner-west Anatolia (Kargïo glu et al 2008) and the study from Konya (Keskin & Ba gcï 2011) shared 12 common taxa with our study. Among the medicinal plants recorded from the region, 30 taxa were used for same medicinal purposes in the ethnobotanical studies from Turkey and other countries.…”

Context: Human beings have long utilized plants for medicinal purposes. Investigation of these plants has led to the discovery of several modern drugs. Objective: This paper documents and evaluates traditional knowledge on medicinal plants used by the local people of Mihalgazi district of Eskişehir, Turkey. Materials and methods: Six villages of the study area were visited between February 2014 and April 2015 to collect the data. One hundred and eighty-nine informants were interviewed by the survey method and face to face semi-structured interviews. Taxonomic identification, the most commonly used plant parts, preparation and administration methods were evaluated. Ethnomedicinal data were analyzed quantitatively with relative importance (RI) and the informant consensus factor (FIC).Results: This paper reported a total of 52 medicinal plants (37 wild, 15 cultivated) belonging to 34 families.

This study was focused on the analysis of the phenolic content, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds and antioxidant activity of methanol extract from Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa. The antioxidant capacity were detected as 43.35 mg TEs/g, 52.18 mg TEs/g and 98.78 mg TEs/g for DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC, respectively. Chlorogenic acid and apigenin were the major phenolic components in the extract. Linoleic acid (49.54 %) was the predominant fatty acid in the oil. 1, 3-cyclooctadiene (25.08 %) was major components in the essential oil. The study concluded that Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa can be used as a source of natural antioxidants for food and pharmacological industry.

Beyond Turf and Lawn: Poaceae in This Age of Climate Change

Grasses - Benefits, Diversities and Functional Roles

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Grassland ecosystems dominated by Poaceae are estimated to cover 40.5% of Earth's land base, and domestication of a few edible grass species into highly productive cereal grains aided the shift from nomadic food gathering to ield cultivation and higher density habitation. In the Northern Hemisphere, grasses are used ornamentally and for pasture, fodder and forage with litle thought that the grasses livestock grazed upon, or those we gaze upon have multi-functional uses elsewhere. In this age of climate change, the use of Poaceae solely for aesthetics and amenity depletes inite potable water supplies that are needed for human survival. Agricultural land is consumed for turf seed production, and land is removed from food production. Cereals and their growing regions, which we have depended upon as food for millennia, are unlikely to adapt to climate change, and this will result in food insecurity and famines. Despite traditional uses of Poaceae in various cultures, many unrealized needs for food, medicine and other material goods could be met elsewhere with knowledge transfer. Our modern relationship with grass as an ornamental or amenity must end. As designers, gardeners and urban dwellers, we must use Poaceae for its multi-functions, which will lead to resilience and survival.
