Abstract
: The current study targeted to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of medicinal plant taxa used in folk medicine in Trabzon. Due to its historical significance, diversity of plant species, and hosting a wide range of cultures, the Turkish city of Trabzon has significant ethnobotanical potential. Ethnobotanical data including family name, scientific name, local name, used parts, therapeutic uses, preparation methods, administration routes, and cited locations were gathered by face-to-face interviews with 645 participants mostly over 50 years old. The quantitative analyses were executed by the determination of frequency values of citation (FC), use value (UV), fidelity level (FL), and informant consensus factor (ICF). A total of 119 medicinal plant taxa belonging to 55 families were recorded with therapeutic uses for more than 100 different diseases. The most commonly used plant part and administration routes were detected as leaves (32.43%) and oral application (51.58%), respectively. The highest ICF value was assigned for the skin diseases (ICF: 0.96). Piceae orientalis possessed the highest value of FC (82.326%), while Plantago major owned the highest value of UV (0.873). Tilia rubra subsp. caucasica , Vaccinium myrtillus , and Nicotiana tabacum were the remarkable taxa due to their FL value (100%), besides the high number of user reports. The present study supplies comprehensive ethnobotanical qualitative and quantitative data (FC, UV, FL, and ICF) from 80 villages in Trabzon. The obtained ethnobotanical data are expected both provide the preliminary information to discover novel herbal drugs and passing on to next generations as an important heritage.
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Journal of Botany is published electronically 6 times a year by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and accepts manuscripts (in English) covering all areas of plant biology (including genetics, evolution, systematics, structure, function, development, diversity, conservation biology, biogeography, paleobotany, ontogeny, functional morphology, ecology, reproductive biology, and pollination biology), all levels of organisation (molecular to ecosystem), and all plant groups and allied organisms (algae, fungi, and lichens). Authors are required to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of major questions in plant biology. In general, papers that are too narrowly focused, purely descriptive, or broad surveys, or that contain only preliminary data or natural history, will not be considered (*).
The following types of article will be considered:
1. Research articles: Original research in various fields of botany will be evaluated as research articles.
2. Research notes: These include articles such as preliminary notes on a study or manuscripts on the morphological, anatomical, cytological, physiological, biochemical, and other properties of plant, algae, lichen and fungi species.
3. Reviews: Reviews of recent developments, improvements, discoveries, and ideas in various fields of botany.
4. Letters to the editor: These include opinions, comments relating to the publishing policy of the Turkish Journal of Botany, news, and suggestions. Letters should not exceed one journal page.
(*) 1. Raw floristic lists (of algae, lichens, fungi, or plants), species descriptions, chorological studies, and plant sociology studies without any additional independent approaches.
2. Comparative morphology and anatomy studies (that do not cover a family, tribe, subtribe, genus, subgenus, section, subsection, or species complexes with taxonomical problems) without one or more independent additional approaches such as phylogenetical, micromorphological, chromosomal and anatomical analyses.
3. Revisions of family, tribe, genus, subgenus, section, subsection, or species complexes without any original outputs such as taxonomical status changes, IUCN categories, and phenological and ecological analyses.
4. New taxa of all plants without any additional independent approaches such as phylogenetical, ecological, chromosomal, chorological and correlational analyses in addition to a detailed macro- and micro-morphological descriptions with quality field and microscopic illustrations of taxonomically important structures and identification key in the taxonomic group.
New records of all plants without any additional independent approaches such as phylogenetical, ecological, chromosomal, chorological and correlational analyses in addition to a detailed macro- and micro-morphological descriptions with quality field and microscopic illustrations of taxonomically important structures and identification key in the taxonomic group may be accepted for peer review if they contain 3 or more new records or taxonomical status update, such as lectotypification, new combinations, transfers, revivals and synonyms.
5. New taxa of algae, lichens, and fungi without any additional independent approaches such as phylogenetical, ecological, chromosomal, chorological and correlational analyses in addition to a detailed macro- and micro-morphological descriptions with quality field and microscopic illustrations of taxonomically important structures and identification key in the taxonomic group.
