Plants produce chemicals, known as secondary metabolites, have a variety
of ecophysiological functions e.g. defense against herbivory/pathogen attacks
and competitor plants, attracting pollinators and symbionts, protection against
abiotic stresses, etc. These metabolites also have potential medicinal effects
on humans. The Yeşilırmak Delta, Samsun, Turkey, is the second largest delta
plain of Turkey. Among the plants distributed in different habitats of the
delta, medically important species and their usage were investigated based on
the literature. It has been determined 160 species and infraspecific taxa
belonging 61 families and 141 genera which can be used for medicinal purposes
in the research area. Our aim is to provide a database in relation to medicinal
plants distributed naturally in such a region that 65.4% of which is assigned
as agricultural area.
