    Biochemical Profiles of Three Bryophytes: Sphagnum papillosum, Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, and Ditrichum gracile

    Okan, Onur Tolga; Baltaci, Cemalettin

    This study compared Sphagnum papillosum, Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, and Ditrichum gracile in terms of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS, ferric reducing antioxidant power [FRAP]), phenolic profiles, fatty acid compositions, and mineral contents. S. papillosum had the highest TPC (986.11 mg GAE/kg) and ABTS activity (9732.14 mg Trolox/kg). R. triquetrus showed the highest TFC (874.01 mg QE/kg) and was rich in protocatechuic (18 803 mg/g) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids (23.219 mg/g). Although D. gracile had lower antioxidant activity, it contained high lipid (6.71%) and ash (27.66%) levels, along with substantial potassium (73 573.86 mg/kg) and calcium (26 135.94 mg/kg) accumulation. Palmitic acid (C16:0) was the dominant fatty acid in all species. These results demonstrate significant biochemical variation among the studied mosses, underlining their potential as sources of natural antioxidants, bioindicators of environmental stress, and candidates for bioremediation.

    Erata, Hueseyin; Koeroglu, Zeynep gizem; Mammadova, Aygun vidadi; Ibadullayeva, Sayyara; Batan, Nevzaat; Sadigova, Narmin

    Splachnum ampullaceum Hedw., Sphagnum capillifolium (Ehrh.) Hedw., and Plagiothecium cavifolium (Brid.) Z. Iwats. have been reported as new for Azerbaijan, following a recent bryological expedition to the Tugay forest and Dilman forest of Azerbaijan. Of these, Splachnum has been recorded as new genus record for bryophyte flora of Azerbaijan. Brief descriptions, illustrations, geographic distribution, ecology and comparisons with morphologically similar species are presented.

    Three remarkable Bryophyte species new to Turkey and South–west Asia

    Erata, Hüseyin

    Turkey, which is surrounded by seas on three sides and consists of three phytogeographic regions, has a very large biological diversity. As a result of extensive bryophyte surveys across the different parts of the Dereli district in Giresun province from Turkey, Dicranum transsylvanicum, Nardia geoscyphus, and Andreaea crassinervia are reported as a new record for Turkey and Southwest Asia. Also, Dicranum transsylvanicum is new to Asia. Descriptions, illustrations, geographic distribution, ecological characteristics, and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa are provided.
