There are 94 endemic plant species which are members of the Cephalaria (Dipsacaceae) family and it has a wide distribution in regions of the Mediterranean, Balkan, Middle East and North Africa (Davis, 1970;Gokturk et al., 2003). Of these plant species which belong to the Cephalaria family, 29 show a wide distribution in Turkey (Gokturk and Sumbul, 2014). ...
Crude oil yield, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds, antioxidant activity and some characteristics of Cephalaria syriaca seeds collected from different locations in Turkey were studied. Antioxidant capacity was determined by DDPH and ABTS tests and the results were in the range of 18.8-67.3% and 0.0-41.8 mmol Trolox eq g-1 DW, respectively; while total phenolic contents were between 4339-11907 mg GAE kg-1. The average α-tocopherol content was found to be in the range of 54-467 mg kg-1. Oil yield was between 11.2-24.0%. Oleic and linoleic acids were the predominant fatty acids. A total of 30 different volatile compounds were identified in the samples, mostly consisting of alcohols and aldehydes. The results of this study showed that Cephalaria syriaca seeds can be considered as alternative raw material in the production of edible oil, and can be used as a source of natural antioxidants and food additives.

This paper focused on the assessment of fatty acid composition and antioxidant properties of ten Cephalaria (C. aytachii, C. taurica, C. tuteliana, C. procera, C. speciosa, C. tchihatchewii,C. hirsuta, C. elazigensis var. elazigensis,C. anatolica and C. aristata) species.
The principal fatty acids in all species were oleic acid (10.28-31.65%), linoleic acid (17.81–37.67%) and palmitic acid (10.54–23.81%). L inolenic acid was also the most abundant fatty acid component in C. tuteliana (24.42%) and in C. speciosa (36.65%) . Invitro antioxidant capacity of the hexane extracts of ten Cephalaria species was investigated by CUPRAC and DPPH methods. Total phenolic content of hexane extracts was also examined. The results showed that all species of Cephalaria have antioxidant properties with the highest trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (1.005 ± 0.13 mmol trolox equivalent per gram extact) in C. aristata and the highest radical scavenging activity (IC 50 value 3.768 ± 0.67 mg/mL) in C. tchihatchewii . It was found that reducing power of C. aristata and radical scavenging potential of C. tchihatchewii were mainly due to highest phenolic contents of these species (2.907 ± 0.146 and 3.037 ± 0.156 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram extract, respectively). These findings suggest that the Cephalaria species might be used as a potential source of unsaturated fatty acids as well as phenolic constituents possessing antioxidant activity in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
... Cephalaria genus (Dipsacaceae) comprises about 94 species which are widely distributed mostly in the Eastern Mediterranean, Balkans, Russia and India. There are 40 species which are spread out in Turkey extensively and 24 of them are endemic (Davis, 1972; Gokturk, 2003; Gokturk, Sumbul, & Acik, 2003). Numerous Cephalaria species have been used as folk medicine for many years due to their biological importance such as antimicrobial, antifungal, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities (Godjevac et al., 2004; Kirmizigul, Anil, Ucar, & Akdemir, 1996). ...
The volatile composition of 10 endemic Cephalaria (Dipsacaceae) species (Cephalaria gazipashensis, Cephalaria lycica, Cephalaria paphlagonica, Cephalaria elmaliensis, Cephalaria stellipilis, Cephalaria scoparia, Cephalaria isaurica, Cephalaria cilicica, Cephalaria elazigensis var. purpurea and Cephalaria davisiana) was investigated. The essential oil mixtures were obtained by steam distillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus. Twenty-eight components were identified by GC-FID and GC-MS techniques. While total volatile percentages ranged from 68.99% to 84.57%, the total essential oil yields ranged between 38.15% and 64.05%. Geraniol, α-cedrene and p-cymene were determined as the main components. Geraniol was detected as a major component in C. cilicica (14.64%), and α-cedrene was detected as a major component with 26.03% for C. lycica, 16.93% for C. scoparia, 13.01% for C. davisiana and 10.94% for C. paphlagonica. Cephalaria scoparia, C. davisiana and C. gazipashensis have considerable amount of p-cymene as 12.86%, 12.70% and 11.16%, respectively. This was the first essential oil report concerning the Cephalaria genus.

The fatty acid compositions of the n-hexane extracts of the aerial parts of four Turkish Cephalaria species (C. paphlagonica, C. stellipilis, C. davisiana and C. elazigensis var. purpurea) were analyzed by GC-MS for the first time. The oil yields of these species were determined as ranging from 0.07% to 0.36 %. Seventeen fatty acids as methyl esters were identified. All extracts were found to contain significant quantities of palmitic, linoleic (LA), stearic and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA was the most abundant fatty acid in all species (29.00%, 30.51%, 32.49% and 34.87% for C. stellipilis, C. elazigensis, C. davisiana and C. paphlagonica, respectively). Other dominant fatty acid was palmitic acid, which ranged from 19.10% to 28.23% for all species. LA was detected in a considerable amount of 19.44 % for C. paphlagonica. The n-hexane extracts of the plants were also checked for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
... Regulation of biosynthesis and degradation of these plant hormones plays an important role in organ growth (Kyozuka, 2007; Zhao, 2008; Bajguz & Piotrowska, 2009; Moubayini et al., 2009). RAPD analysis is suitable for genotyping, phylogenetic analysis and molecular selection (Williams et al., 1990; Göktürk et al., 2003; Atak et al., 2004; Akcicek et al., 2005; Yüzbasıoğlu et al., 2006). RAPD among other molecular marker methods has considerable advantages because it is fast, not expensive, applicability to any organism without prior information on the nucleotide sequence and in the potential detection of DNA damage and mutation (Ahloowalia & Maluszynski, 2001; Atienzar et al., 2002 Atienzar et al., , 2006). ...
The aim of our study was to consider the efficiency of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to show the differences between Rhododendron mutants and control plants. The mutant plantlets were selected due to their better In vitro shoot and root regeneration relative to control in both varieties. Six mutant plantlets from Alfred and seven mutant plantlets from Paars variety were selected from M 1 V 2 generations. These mutants were selected from plantlets which were irradiated with doses 5 and 10 Gy. They were grown up In vitro conditions. The dendrogram shows one big cluster and the others to be distinguished. Genetic variability induced with gamma ray and RAPD methods were used to detect mutations at the Rhododendron shoot culture. Our results show that Rhododendron mutants were district from controls.
Nutritional value and mineral compositions of wild edible plants have been investigated for food security and human health. It is though that wild edible plants gathered from nature are cheaper food and important for human health. They are also special ingredients for distinguished taste and aroma of traditional cousins. Thus, in the present study the nutritional value and mineral composition of used parts of Cephalaria schrader was investigated. In laboratory analysis, dry matter, total ash, % N, crude protein, crude fiber and pH were examined as nutritional value. Useful minerals (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S and Zn) and heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr and Pb) that hazardous elements for livings were also determined by Atomic Absorption spectrometry (AAS). The Dry matter, pH, ash and total nitrogen content of the plants identified as 8.22%, 6.33%, 6.3% and 1.77%, respectively. Mineral analysis showed that the wild plants’ samples contained considerably high amounts of potassium (12.31 g kg-1), phosphorus (1.14 g kg-1), calcium (9.67 g kg-1), magnesium (1.97 g kg-1), iron (146.23 mg kg-1), manganese (24.25 mg kg-1) and zinc (18.70 mg kg-1). This work contributed to the nutritional properties of some wild plants, and the results may be useful for the evaluation of dietary information.
