    Members of the Ajuga genus are of significant interest due to their traditional applications in various countries, and have therefore been the subject of phytochemical research investigating their natural bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and biological activities of various Ajuga vestita extracts (ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol/water and water). The biological effects assessed included antioxidant, enzyme inhibition and cytotoxic activities. The extracts were chemically profiled using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography – electrospray ionization – quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS), which identified 121 compounds, including iridoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. The ethanol/water extract exhibited superior radical scavenging activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH): 43.13 mg Trolox equivalent (TE)/g; 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS): 45.37 mg TE/g) and reducing power (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC): 103.43 mg TE/g; ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP): 45.29 mg TE/g). Regarding enzyme inhibition, the ethanol extract exhibited the greatest inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), glucosidase, and tyrosinase, whereas the ethyl acetate extract was most effective against amylase. Regarding cytotoxicity, the ethyl acetate extract exhibited the strongest effect, significantly reducing cell viability in all cell lines and having a particularly strong impact on murine bone marrow stromal (S17) cells, with viability at 30.8 ± 2.7% at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. By contrast, the aqueous extract exhibited low cytotoxicity, maintaining high cell viability (over 94% at 50 µg/mL and over 74% at 100 µg/mL). Additionally, network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the multi-target mechanisms and binding stability of A. vestita phytochemicals. These findings provide new, detailed insights into A. vestita and suggest its potential as a raw material for developing health-promoting nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products.
  • Allium kazim-kosei, a New Species (A. sect. Codonoprasum, Amaryllidaceae) from Central Anatolia (Türkiye)
    Yavuz Bülent Köse, Mehmet Maruf Balos
    Life, 2026
    Allium kazim-kosei sp. nov. (Amaryllidaceae, sect. Codonoprasum) is described as a new species from Central Anatolia, Türkiye. The new species is morphologically similar to A. pseudoflavum but differs in several diagnostic characters, including bulb structure, scape height, leaf morphology, spathe venation, inflorescence and pedicel dimensions, tepal shape, presence of interstaminal teeth, capsule shape, and seed size. SEM observations reveal distinct micromorphological differences in seed testa ornamentation and pollen exine structure between the two species. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ITS and chloroplast trnL intron sequences support the recognition of A. kazim-kosei as a distinct species. The Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance between A. kazim-kosei and A. pseudoflavum (8.54% for ITS) is considerably higher than typical interspecific divergences within sect. Codonoprasum. In the Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree, the two species form well-separated sister branches with high bootstrap support. The species is known only from gypseous soils around Kavuncu village (Eskişehir province, Türkiye), with an estimated Area of Occupancy (AOO) of 8 km2 and Extent of Occurrence (EOO) of 45 km2. Based on IUCN criteria, A. kazim-kosei is assessed as Endangered (EN) [B1ab(iii) + B2ab(iii)]. This discovery increases the total number of Allium species in Türkiye to 239 and the number of sect. Codonoprasum taxa to 74. The molecular results are fully congruent with the macro- and micromorphological characters, providing robust multi-evidence support for the recognition of the new species.

    HASAN YILDIRIM, BARIŞ ÖZÜDOĞRU, TUĞKAN ÖZDÖL, ILGIN DENIZ CAN, ADEMI FAHRI PIRHAN, MEHMET MARUF BALOS, ŞÜKRÜ ARASAN
    Phytotaxa, 2025
    Umbilicus choripetalus is described as a new species from Ödemiş district in the province of İzmir in western Anatolia (Türkiye), based on morphological and molecular evidence. Diagnostic characteristics, a full description, and comprehensive photographs are provided. It is morphologically related to U. tropaeolifolius and U. paniculiformis, but can be distinguished both morphologically and ecologically. The most notable distinguishing feature is the corolla morphology: U. choripetalus has a stellate corolla with deeply divided petals, a unique feature within the genus. Other characteristic features include a linear and obtuse calyx structure and longer pedicels (2–15 mm). This species is distinct in its sparsely branched inflorescence, bearing a significantly reduced number of flowers (three to seventeen) arranged in a raceme or simple panicle. This situation starkly contrasts with profusely flowered and more robust paniculate inflorescences in related taxa. U. choripetalus is ecologically confined to volcanic substrates. Its relatives are restricted to limestone, indicating a significant degree of edaphic specialization . The combination of its morphological and ecological traits unequivocally establishes Umbilicus choripetalus as a distinct and isolated lineage within the genus Umbilicus.

  • Biarum persicum, a new species from Iran, and the resurrection of Biarum platyspathum (Araceae)
    SAJAD ALİPOUR, RAMİAR MAJİDİ, MEHMET MARUF BALOS
    Phytotaxa, 2025
    In this study, Biarum persicum is described as a new species from Iran. It is similar to Biarum carduchorum, but differs mainly by its tuber structure, leaf structure, spathe shape and length, spadix length, ovary and fruit structure. Moreover, the taxonomic status of Biarum platyspathum, which was considered as a synonym of of Biarum carduchorum in previous studies, has been re-evaluated based on morphological studies. Biarum platyspathum is morphologically similar to Biarum aleppicum and B. carduchorum. However, it is noted that Biarum platyspathum differs mainly by its cataphyll structure, number of leaves, spathe structure, spadix structure, ovary structure, fruit and seed structure from both taxa. A comprehensive account is provided for the newly described and resurrected species, including diagnostic characteristics, photographs, geographical distribution, conservation assessments, relevant observations, and a distribution map.

    Ömer Çeçen, Mehmet Maruf Balos, Hasan Yıldırım
    Annales Botanici Fennici, 2025
    Here we describe Biarum gulsenianum Yıldırım, Çeçen & Balos (Araceae), a new species from Karaman Province in central Turkey. Although morphologically close to B. rifatii, it differs by having a shorter and narrower, cylindrical-oblong to oblong-ovoid (vs. globose-oblong) spathe tube, the inner surface of which ranges from whitish to greenish cream (vs. uniformly shiny reddish purple). The appendix is also distinctly shorter, and B. gulsenianum bears 2–3 rows of staminodes (absent in B. rifatii). Both species are unusual within the genus, as they flower in summer rather than in autumn.

  • Allium beitchlelaense (Amaryllidaceae), a New Species in sect. Codonoprasum from Lebanon
    Ramy Maalouf, Mehmet Maruf Balos
    Annales Botanici Fennici, 2025
    Allium beitchlelaense Maalouf & Balos (Amaryllidaceae), a new species in sect. Codonoprasum, is described from the North Governorate of Lebanon. Allium beitchlelaense is morphologically similar to A. glumaceum and A. elifadae, but differs in several characters, including the bulb tunics and the absence of a stem neck, the presence of bulbils, the inflorescence structure, broader spathe valves, the structure and colour of the perigone, anther colour, the vesicular-tuberculate texture of the upper half of the ovary, and capsule and seed morphology. A detailed morphological description, photographs and notes on the habitat of A. beitchlelaense are provided. Based on the IUCN criteria and categories, and considering imminent threats to the species, its conservation status is assessed as “Critically Endangered” (CR).

    Sakina Yagi, Giovanni Caprioli, Gabriele Rocchetti, Filomena Nazzaro, Florinda Fratianni, Francesca Coppola, Ozgur Yuksekdag, Ismail Koyuncu, Laura Acquaticci, Simone Angeloni, Mehmet Maruf Balos, Ulku Yerebasan, Gokhan Zengin
    Food Science and Nutrition, 2025
    Zoegea leptaurea L. has been traditionally used to treat digestive issues, headaches, and skin diseases. This study aimed to evaluate, for the first time, the phenolic content, antioxidant potential, enzyme inhibition, cytotoxic anti‐biofilm/probiotic properties of the flowers, stems, leaves, and aerial parts of Z. leptaurea. Results indicated that 70% EtOH extraction yielded the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents across different plant organs, with the highest levels recorded in the flowers (44.86 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g) and leaves (28.84 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g), respectively. Chlorogenic acid was the predominant compound in the stems and leaves, with the highest concentration obtained using 70% EtOH (5919.1 mg/kg and 10,786.70 mg/kg, respectively). The 70% EtOH extract of the flowers exhibited the strongest antiradical activity (2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] = 45.10 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g); 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid [ABTS] = 64.53 mg TE/g) and ion‐reducing capacity (Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity [CUPRAC] = 118.81 mg TE/g; ferric reducing antioxidant power [FRAP] = 65.29 mg TE/g). The EtOH extract of the flowers and the EtOAc extract of the aerial parts exhibited the highest anti‐acetylcholinesterase activity (2.79 and 2.56 mg galantamine equivalent (GALAE)/g), with the latter also displaying the strongest anti‐butyrylcholinesterase activity (3.35 mg GALAE/g). The strongest cytotoxic effect was observed in the EtOAc extract of the leaves against lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549), with an IC50 value of 18.39 μg/mL. Additionally, the inhibitory activity of the extracts against immature and mature biofilms formed by pathogenic bacteria was assessed, revealing notable antibiofilm activity. Concurrently, the extracts stimulated the growth of five probiotic strains, with some reaching up to six times their respective control growth levels. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that Z. leptaurea is a promising source of bioactive compounds and warrants further investigation for its potential role in the treatment of oxidative stress‐related diseases.
