Castanea sativa; A Source of Turkish Propolis: Plant Anatomy, Palynology and Chemistry

Abstract

B u çalışma ile Türkiye propolisi için bitkisel bir köken olan Castanea sativa'nın anatomik ve palinolojik karakterlerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, Castanea sativa bitkisinin yaprak ve gövde enine kesitleri incelenmiştir. Mikroskobik inceleme ile yaprak enine kesitinde palizat ve sünger parenkiması, üst ve alt epidermis, sklerenkima ve iletim demetleri gözlenmiştir. Gövde enine kesitinde ise periderm, sklerenkimatik doku, sekonder ksilem, sekonder floem, vaskular kambiyum ve parenkimatik öz gözlenmiştir. Palinolojik analiz ile polenin radyal simetrik, izopolar ve trikolporat olduğu belirtilmiştir. Mikroskobik analizlerin yanında, Castanea sativa propolisinin kimyasal içeriği gaz kromatografisi ve kütle spektrometresi (GC-MS) cihazı ile analiz edilmiştir. Propolisin etanol özütünün kimyasal analizi ile alkoller, aldehidler, alifatik asit ve esterleri, karboksilik asit ve esterleri, sinamik asit ve esterleri, flavonoidler, hidrokarbonlar ve ketonlar grubuna ait bileşikler tespit edilmiştir. "Benzoik asit" bileşiği %7.88'lik oranla özütte en yüksek miktarda bulunan bileşiktir. Bu çalışmanın anatomik, palinolojik ve kimyasal analiz sonuçları Türkiye arıcılığı ve arı ürünleri ile ilgili ileriki çalışmalara ışık tutacaktır.

Study of Morphological Characters of Pollen Grains Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) by Scanning Electron Microscopy

“…Ornamentation under the scanning electron microscope is rugulate, perforate, tectum is eutectate, infratectum columellate, columellae is very short, endexine is compact-continuous, intine monolayered, pollen coatings absent, Ubisch bodies are present. We can confirm theis knowledge with some authors (van Benthem et al, 1984;Mert et al, 2007;Grygorieva et al, 2015Grygorieva et al, , 2016Çelemli et al, 2016;PalDat, 2021).…”

Comparative anatomical survey of Cyclamen L. (Primulaceae) taxa and their traditional medicinal uses in Turkey

“…Various parts of C. coum subsp. coum , C. pseudibericum , C. hederifolium , C. persicum , and C. alpinum were subjected to various anatomical examinations in previous works (Çelemli et al, 2015; Öztürk, 2020; Sağlam, 1999; Uçkun, 2019), but in most of those studies, the taxa were considered at the regional level. Moreover, the anatomical structure of the tuber was neglected in all of those studies.…”

“…The endodermis is followed by a pericycle, which is located under it and consists of a cylinder of parenchyma or sclerenchyma cells that lies just inside the endodermis and constitutes the outermost part of the stele. jected to various anatomical examinations in previous works (Çelemli et al, 2015;Öztürk, 2020;Sa glam, 1999;Uçkun, 2019), but in most of those studies, the taxa were considered at the regional level. Moreover, the anatomical structure of the tuber was neglected in all of those studies.…”

Effect of wax separation on macro‐ and micro‐elements, phenolic compounds, pesticide residues, and toxic elements in propolis

“…The mean TPC values of the corresponding sample group with different superscript letters (a, b and c) are significantly different (p < .05). origin (Ozdal et al, 2019) and, accordingly, the plant origin (Çelemli & Sorkun, 2012). Even among the samples obtained from the same city, differences in the botanical origin of the propolis samples were reported (Çelemli & Sorkun, 2012).…”
