“…Seven to 55 polymorphic bands were amplified per primer pair, with an average of 30.8 polymorphic bands per pair. Erol et al (2011) observed 981 polymorphic fragments with an average of 44.6 polymorphic loci per primer in their AFLP analysis, which is relatively consistent with our present results. However, Nazzal et al (2011) generated 809 polymorphic bands using 4 AFLP primer combinations and obtained an average of 202.3 polymorphic fragments per primer pair.…”

In this study, a total of 26 Crocus specimens from different locations across Turkey and 2 East Aegean islands (Chios and Samos) were analyzed using 12 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer combinations to obtain information on genetic diversity, population structure, and genetic relationships. A total of 369 polymorphic AFLP bands were generated and scored as binary data. Genetic similarities were determined. Cluster analysis revealed 4 major groups among the 26 genotypes examined in this study. The nuclear DNA contents (2C) of the 26 Crocus specimens were found to range from 5.08 pg in C. asumaniae to 9.75 pg in C. sativus. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values were used to examine the capacity of the various primer pairs to amplify polymorphisms in the Crocus specimens. The PIC values ranged from 0.218 (M-CAA/E-AGC) to 0.512 (M-CAT/E-AAG) and showed an average of 0.34. In sum, we herein used AFLP analysis to identify a high level of polymorphism among Crocus specimens collected from various locations in Turkey and Greece, and our structural analysis yielded 2 reconstructed populations. These findings provide new insight into the relationships among different Crocus genotypes and show that AFLP analysis can be useful for Crocus diversity studies.

“…For example, many large herbaria have recently devoted extensive resources to digitize their collections, especially their type collections. New imaging techniques (Simpson & Barnes, 2008), including composite illustrations (Erol & al., 2009(Erol & al., , 2011, require the reader to view the paper electronically in order to see the illustration in proper detail. In order for taxonomists and users of taxonomic data to take full advantage of these advances, results of taxonomic studies should be readily available through open access.…”

In publishing names of new taxa of algae, fungi, and plants, it is argued that it is advantageous to retain the ancient tradition of Latin diagnoses in combination with the modern trend of publication in openly accessible electronic journals. Leading up to the XIX International Botanical Congress in 2017 in Shenzhen, China, we encourage that, even in the absence of a requirement, Latin continues to be used for diagnoses and consideration be given to making it a requirement that all valid publications of new taxa be freely accessible electronically. Retention of Latin diagnoses retains the discipline's link to the past and buffers against the rapid evolution modern languages are subject to, and Open access allows the discipline's results to be available to the widest possible audience.

“…Considering the number of Crocus taxa, Turkey is the most species‐rich country in the world. After Mathew (1982), 23 new crocus taxa have been identified in Turkey (Kerndorff 1993, Pasche 1993, Kerndorff and Pasche 1994, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2011, Mathew 1995, 2002, Pasche and Kerndorff 1999, Yüzbaşıoğlu and Varol 2004, Mathew et al 2009, Erol et al 2010, 2011, Rukšāns 2010, Kerndorff et al 2011).…”

“…Moreover, the most recent genetical studies on the genus show that there are several problems at the infraspecific level. Genetic dissimilarities between the known subspecies revealed that most of the subspecies must be ranked as species (Erol et al 2011, Kerndorff et al 2011, Kerndorff pers. comm.…”

A new species, Crocus demirizianus O. Erol & L. Can is described and illustrated from northwestern Turkey. Crocus demirizianus was found in the Çanakkale province, near the district of Çan, and is undoubtedly related to the Crocus biflorus complex. However, the species differs from its relatives by typically sagittate anthers, and flowers without prominent stripes on outer segments. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and high resolution images are presented.
