Abstract
Objective: To date, many studies have been conducted on the chemical content and bioactivity of seed plants and are still being conducted. However, these studies are scattered in different access sources and therefore access to information may be late or incomplete. Therefore, in this study, we performed literature on seed plants of the Flora of Turkey of the research bioactivity containing information as can be queried remotely accessible, systematic storage of information by creating a database of Turkish and English and is intended to ensure that information.
Material and Method: At the first stage of the study, bioactivity studies conducted on seed plants of the Flora of Turkey and published between 1928-2018 were accessed, deciphered and a bibliography was prepared. In the second stage of the study, a web-based database management system was developed in order to transfer the information contained in the content of bioactivity studies, the literature was obtained, and its contents were recorded in the database. Finally, the analysis of the contents recorded in the database was carried out.
Result and Discussion: As a result of the scans, 1307 literature was included in the bibliography, while 1088 of them were found suitable for registration in the database, and a total of 49.486 lines of data were entered. When the data were examined in detail, it was seen that bioactivity studies of 430 genera and 1594 taxa belonging to 107 families were recorded. The families with the most taxa were determined as Lamiaceae (307 taxa), Asteraceae (271 taxa) and Fabaceae (125 taxa). 115 different activities were recorded in the database. The largest number of taxa; antimicrobial activity (962 taxa), antioxidant activity (950 taxa), cytotoxic activity (220 taxa), anti-inflammatory activity (160 taxa) and analgesic-antinociceptive activity (113 taxa) are investigated in terms of. The species with the most bioactivity studies were determined as Urtica dioica (18 activities), Hypericum perforatum (17 activities) and Cistus laurifolius (16 activities). When the locality records were examined, it was determined that the most taxa were obtained from the Central Anatolia Region and the least taxa were obtained from the Southeastern Anatolia Region.
