Abstract

The samples were collected from Ankara, Gaziantep, Konya, Niğde, and Şanlıurfa (Türkiye), between 2020 and 2023. Morphological analyses and nrITS rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic methods were used to examine the samples. Twenty-one specimens displayed morphological features consistent with Terfezia claveryi Chatin at both macro and micro levels. Genetic analysis revealed over 99% sequence similarity with this species. Detailed documentation included habitat descriptions, geographical coordinates, collection dates, and photographic records of macroscopic and microscopic structures. These findings contribute valuable insights into the distribution and taxonomy of T. claveryi in Türkiye.

Abstract

Örnekler, Türkiye'nin Ankara, Gaziantep, Konya, Niğde ve Şanlıurfa illerinden 2020 ile 2023 yılları arasında toplanmıştır. Örneklerin incelenmesinde morfolojik analizler ve nrITS rDNA dizisine dayalı filogenetik yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Yirmi bir örnek, makro ve mikro seviyede Terfezia claveryi Chatin ile uyumlu morfolojik özellikler sergilemiştir. Genetik analiz, bu türle %99'dan fazla dizi benzerliği olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Detaylı dokümantasyon kapsamında habitat tanımları, coğrafi koordinatlar, toplama tarihleri ve makroskobik ile mikroskobik yapıların fotoğrafik kayıtları yer almıştır. Bu bulgular, Türkiye'deki T. claveryi'nin dağılımı ve taksonomisi hakkında değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.
