    Apical buds of corms of gladiolus (Gladiolus segetum and Gladiolus dubius) were cultivated on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with IBA 0.1 mg.l-1 and BA 2 mg.l-1. The number of newly formed buds was 3,8 and 4,13 buds per explants for respectively Gladiolus segetum and Gladiolus dubius. The in vitro Rooting need a supplement with auxin and sucrose. Rooting is not present in the control medium. The rate of rooting varied from 10 to 36%, depending on the species and the concentration of IBA in the medium. The Important rooting (36%) is observed for Gladiolus segetum in the presence of IBA 1 mg.l -1. Finally, the acclimatization is possible, these shoots rooted have formed many corms after 6 weeks of culture.

    Gladiolus is an economically important ornamental crop, cultivated for its beautiful flowers throughout the world. The correct genotype identification of plant material is very significant for the floriculture industry. The aim of this study was to develop sequence-characterised amplified region (SCAR) markers from RAPD and ISSR fragments for identification and authentication of Gladiolus germplasm. The SCAR markers developed could be easily employed as valuable tools to identify newly developed Gladiolus cultivars. The SCAR markers, viz. ScG12, ScG34, and ScG36, are specific to the DNA from all 62 Gladiolus cultivars, as they did not amplify the DNA of other taxa of the family Iridaceae, including Iris, Amaryllis, and Narcissus. All three SCAR markers distinguished Gladiolus from other taxa of the family Iridaceae, whereas marker ScAm was specific to the 'Amethyst' cultivar. Our results confirmed that this particular SCAR marker distinguished the 'Amethyst' cultivar from the other 62 Gladiolus cultivars investigated in the present study. This development of SCAR markers based on RAPD and ISSR markers seems to be the maiden attempt for Gladiolus cultivars.

    The study is based on anatomical andmorphological investigations of  Gladiolus antakiensis  A. P. Hamiltonand  Gladiolus atroviolaceus  Boiss. Morphological and anatomical features of vegatative organs of the plant such as root, scape, and leaf have been given in detail and demonstrated by gures. It has been observed that cormtunic is coarsely reticulate brous in these two species. Sand crystals have been observed in  G .  antakiensis  species. Sclerenchyma groups have been observed around leaf vascular bundle in both of species. Most of the anatomical properties of both species are similar to the other member of Iridaceae family.

    Gladiolus is a perennial geophyte, semi-rustice herb and belongs to the Iridaceae family. Gladiolus is an important bulbous ornamental plant. It is used as cut flowers, garden and potted plants. Turkey, which is among the major gene centers of the world and has a special place in plant genetic diversity, has rich genetic resources of geophytes including Gladiolus. However, many plant genetic resources, including Gladiolus are under genetic erosion because of the environmental and other problems and therefore face with the danger of extinction. Turkey has one Gladiolus species in IUCN Red List category. This species is Gladiolus italicus and its Red list category is Least Concern (LC). Gladiolus italicus is distributed in Macaronesia, Mediterranean basin to central Asia. Also introduced and naturalized in California. It naturally grows in many parts of Turkey. The other Gladiolus species that are reported to be under threat in Turkey are; Gladiolus anatolicus, Gladiolus antakiensis, Gladiolus halophilus, Gladiolus humilis, Gladiolus micranthus. In addition to their potential usage as ornamental plants, their usage in phytomedicine due to the medical properties of the modified stems, leaves and in other related industries increases their importance. Therefore, it is very important to protect these genetic resources of Gladiolus.
