Determined genetic relationship between the species or genera is very valuable for genetic improvementstudies. The chloroplast <strong>matK</strong> gene sequences ranging from 730 to 1545 nucleotides were downloaded from theGenBank database. These DNA sequences were aligned using Clustal W program. We employed the maximumparsimony method for phylogenetic reconstruction using PAUP* program. Trees resulting from the parsimonyanalyses were similar to those generated earlier using single or multiple gene analyses, but our analyses resulted instrict consensus tree providing much better resolution of relationships among major clades. We found thatgymnosperms (Pinus thunbergii, Pinus attenuata and Ginko biloba) were different from the monocotyledons anddicotyledons. We showed that Cynodon dactylon, Panicum capilare, Zea mays and Saccharum officiarum (all are inthe C 4 metabolism) were improved from a common ancestors while the other cereals Triticum Avena, Hordeum,Oryza and Phalaris were evolved from another or similar ancestors. In this study, relationships within and betweenFabaceae (Fabales), Rosaceae (Rosales), Moraceae (Uriticales), Cannabeceae (Uriticales) and Uriticaceae(Uriticales). Malvaceae (Malvales) and Brassicaceae (Brassicales) were also discussed. Overall, our results indicatedthat <strong>matK</strong> gene provides well-defined relationships within and among the families, genus and species; therefore itssequence can be successfully used in Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) or part of the sequence as DNAfragment analysis using PCR in plant systematic.Keywords: Bootstrap, Plant Families, Chloroplast, <strong>matK</strong>, Molecular PhylogenyBazı Önemli Bitki Türlerinin Kloroplast <strong>matK</strong> Geni FilogenisiÖzetBu çalışmada, genomda bulunan genlerin çoğundan daha fazla varyasyon gösteren ve kloroplasta bulunan<strong>matK</strong> geninin moleküler filogeni çalışmalarında kullanımı araştırılmıştır. Çalışma da kloroplast <strong>matK</strong> geni DNAsekansları kullanılarak 26 farklı familyaya ait 142 bitki türünde, takım, familya, cins ve türler arasındaki evrimselilişkilerin belirlenebilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Cins ya da türler arasındaki genetik akrabalıkların belirlenmesi modern vegeleneksel ıslah metodları kullanılarak gerçekleştirilecek genetik ilerlemeler için çok önemlidir. 730-1545 nükleotiddizilimli kloroplast <strong>matK</strong> geni sekansı Gen Bankası’ndan alınmış ve Clustal W programı kullanılarak bu DNAsekanslarının sekansta bulanan baz içerikleri sıralanmıştır. “PAUP*” programı kullanılarak “Maksimum parsimony”metoduyla filogenetik ilişkiler belirlenmiştir. Parsimony analizinden elde edilen filogeni sonuçları daha öncedenyapılmış olan tekli ve çoklu gen analizleri sonuçlarıyla benzerlik gösterdiği gibi elde edilen sonuçlar önemli türlerinakrabalıklarını belirlemede de daha iyi sonuçlar vermiştir. Analiz sonuçları açık tohumlu bitki türlerinin (Pinusthunbergii, Pinus attenuata and Ginko biloba) monokotiledonlar ve dikotiledonlardan oluşan kapalı tohumlu bitkitürlerinden oldukça farklı olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca C 4 metabolizmasına sahip bitkilerden Cynodon dactylon,Panicum capilare, Zea mays ve Saccharum officiarum’un ortak atadan gelmelerine karşın C 3 metabolizmasına sahipTriticum, Avena, Hordeum, Oryza ve Phalaris bitkilerinde farklı ya da benzer atadan yayıldıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Chloroplast <strong>matK</strong> Gene Phylogeny of Some Important Species of Plants1. IntroductionRecent advances in DNA sequencingtechnologies and molecular biology enableus to characterize genomes of organismsand now many ongoing genome projects forvarious species are providing valuableinsights into their biology and utilizations.The application of molecular biologyinformation to systematic and evolution hasresulted in significant contributions to plantsystematics and in the emergence ofmolecular systematics as a solidinterdisciplinary field (Mort et al., 2001).Nucleotide sequence variability inchloroplast DNA (cpDNA or plastid DNA)at inter-(between families or genus) andintra-specific level (within species orvarieties) has been surveyed primarily inorder to analyze the phylogeneticrelationships and plant identification studies(Tamura et al., 2004).The <strong>matK</strong> gene, a chloroplastgenome encoded locus located within theintron of the chloroplast gene trnK, encodesa maturase on the large single-copy sectionadjacent to the inverted repeat of everyplant families, has high rates of substitutioncompared to other chloroplast genes and itsDNA sequence is one of the least conservedplastid genes; therefore, has beeneffectively used in plant evolution andaddresses the phylogenetic questions invarious taxonomic levels (Ito et al., 1999;Fuse and Tamura, 2000).The <strong>matK</strong> gene has severaladvantages in comparison to other genesincluding the organelle genome genes. Firstof all the <strong>matK</strong> gene evolves approximatelythree times faster than the widely usedplastid genes rbcL and atpB. It is in thechloroplast genome and in many cases it ismaternally inherited. This gene has areasonable size, high rate of substitution,large proportion of variation at the first andthe second codon positions, low transitiontransversionratio, and the presence ofmutationally conserved sectors. Researchhas shown that the variations at nucleic acid(DNA) and amino acid levels evenlydistributed throughout the entire gene, andthe 5’ region of the <strong>matK</strong> gene appears tohave more variation than the 3’ region inmany monocotyledons and dicotyledons.Because of these unique characteristics,<strong>matK</strong> gene sequences (at both nucleic acidsand amino acid sequence levels) have beenused successfully to resolve family andeven species level relationships (Steele andVigalys, 1994; Brochmann et al., 1998;Koch et al., 2001; Tamura et al., 2004).In this article, we report the results ofphylogenetic analyses of chloroplast <strong>matK</strong>gene sequences from 142 plant speciesbelong to families of 26 plants and 22orders. Relationships within and betweenmonocotyledons, dicotyledons andgymnosperms were discussed. Thisinformation may facilitate the utilization ofthe genetic resource in wild germplasm andprovide an important basis for addressingthe many intriguing questions involving thebiogeography and genome evolution studies.Also determined genetic relationships mayprovide valuable information for bothconventional and modern plant breedingstudies.2. Material and MethodsA total of 142 <strong>matK</strong> sequences weredownloaded from GenBank database(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html). These <strong>matK</strong> DNA sequences werethen aligned using the Clustal W program(Thompson et al., 1994). Result of thealignments showed that there were variablenumbers of indels in <strong>matK</strong> gene. All gapcharacters were scored as missing datarather than a fifth character. Sequencesranging from 730 to 1545 bp in lengthprovided a data set of 2089 bp afteralignment.Phylogenetic analyses of thesequence data were conducted using theparsimony method using Petroselinumcrispum <strong>matK</strong> DNA sequence as reference.The sequence data were also analyzed witha neighbor-joining (NJ) and UnweightedPair Group Mean Average UPGMAmethods as implemented in PAUP* 4.0(Swofford, 2002). The level of support forbranches of the phylogenetic trees wasevaluated with the bootstrap analysis(Felsenstein, 1985) to verify the length of158
