“…14−17 The biological activities of Paeonia species have also been mentioned. 18−24 Essential oil compositions and antioxidant properties for the ethanol extract of the roots of P. daurica Andrews, which was collected from the western part of Turkey (Tepeköy, Mersin), have been reported, 14 and only 24 components were identified, as compared to 74 compounds in the present study. Salicylaldehyde was the major compound in both cases.…”

“…Recent findings reveal an antioxidant property of substances and essential oils contained in the rhizomes of twelve Paeonia species, including Paeonia officinalis and P. mascula [ 146 ]. The three species have in common the presence of toxic substances which are localized especially in the rhizome that lead to intestinal and gastroenteric disorders or vomiting [ 147 , 148 ].…”

In 1766, the agricultural scientist Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti described for the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the wild and cultivated plant species that could be used, in times of famine, to increase the quantity of flour or vegetable mass in bread making. These wild plants can be defined as wild edible plants (WEPs) or “alimurgic species”, a concept usually traced back to Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti himself. The 342 plant names mentioned in the text are in the Tuscan vernacular, so a research work was done on bibliographic sources from the 1800s in order to match them with their current nomenclature. This process led to an “alimurgic flora” repertoire based on the writing of Targioni Tozzetti; and a comparison with our AlimurgITA database of 1103 wild edible plants used in Italy. It is particularly interesting that in his short treatise, Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti identified eight toxic plants (corresponding to 14 species), indicating how to eliminate the poisonous substances from their useful roots. We treat them in detail, examining their current and past use, their geographical distribution in Italy, and their eventual toxicity. We obtained 343 matches, of which 198 were reliable (certain matches) and 145 possessed some degree of uncertainty (due to generic or collective vernacular names). Among the 198 certain identifications, 140 species are present in the AlimurgITA database (92 mentioned for Tuscany) and 58 are not; for bread-making there are only documentary traces of 53 species for Italy and 7 for Tuscany. Moreover, among the total 198 species, 84 showed some degree of hazard. Researching edible toxic spontaneous species allows: (1) investigation, from an unusual perspective, of a historical period in which the poor conditions of some social strata led to finding unusual solutions to food provision; (2) idea generation to re-enable potentially useful WEPs whose use has been lost. Making a virtue of necessity!

Backgroud: Turkey is considered an important gene pool for the distribution of herbaceous Paeonia species. Twelve taxons were recorded in Turkey and all definitions are morphologically and/or anatomically performed. No studies have been conducted based on DNA barcode sequences. In this study, The matK and rbcL genes and ITS region were sequenced to determine phylogenetic relationships of 12 Turkish Paeonia taxa and chemical comparison was performed with root samples. Methods and results: The taxons were collected between May and June 2021 from nine different cities. Leaf materials were used for DNA isolation and ITS, matK and rbcL regions were amplified and sequenced. There was no difference among taxa in terms of rbcL sequences. But the ITS and matK regions distinguished 12 taxa. The genotypes were structured in two groups by ITS and matK data. ITS region distinguished P. peregrina, P. arietina, and P. tenuifolia from other taxa, while matK region distinguished P. arietina and P. witmanniana from other taxa. Both barcode sequences actually showed that the registration of P. mascula subsp. arasicola was faulty and it is 100% similar to P. arietina. Twelve taxa were each found to have characteristic polymorphisms in both the ITS and matK regions that could be used to distinguish the species from each other. The most polymorphism was determined in the ITS region (n=54), while the matK region showed less variability (n=9). We also detected the barcode sequences could successfully discriminate the hybrid polyploid Paoenia species from diploid P. tenuifolia. Except for P. tenuifolia, the other Paeonia species were seen to be hybrid. The methanolic root extracts were examined for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities (by FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH). The results revealed significant variation in extracts, polyphenolic content, and antioxidant properties. In 100 g root, TPC ranged from 204.23 to 2343.89 mg, TFC ranged from 7.73 to 66.16 mg, and FRAP ranged from 523.81 to 4338.62 mg. SC50 values of ABTS ranged from 115.08 to 1115.52 μg/ml and DPPH ranged from 73.83 to 963.59 μg/ml. Conclusion: For the first time, genetic diversity and chemical comparison were performed among Paeonia species along Turkey. It was concluded that 11 of 12 taxa had differences in terms of ITS and matK sequences. It has been shown that barcode sequences must be used for the correct identification of Turkish Paeonia.
