Abstract

Kratkozupčasta kadulja (Salvia brachyodon Vandas) pripada rodu Salvia L., sekciji Salvia. Ova vrsta je danas jedna od najrjeđih biljnih vrsta dinarskog krša. Do danas su potvrđena samo dva nalazišta ove vrste: sv. Ilija na poluotoku Pelješcu (Republika Hrvatska) i 150 km jugoistočno planina Orjen (Republika Crna Gora i Republika Bosna i Hercegovina). Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je uz pomoć morfoloških mjerenja i statističkih metoda utvrditi morfološku raznolikost kratkozupčaste kadulje. Uz pomoć računalnog programa SAS izvršena je analiza varijance (ANOVA), korelacije, analiza glavnih sastavnica (PCA) i diskriminantna analiza. Rezultati morfološke analize temeljene na 16 morfoloških osobina pokazuju kako se populacije najviše razlikuju u četiri morfološka svojstva: duljini cvata, žljezdastim sjedećim dlakama na cvjetnoj stapci, duljini čaške i duljini nastavka čaške. Morfološke razlike među populacijama moguće je objasniti prilagodbom biljka na različite uvjete staništa prisutne na ova dva nalazišta. Saznanja o morfološkoj raznolikosti populacija kratkozupčaste kadulje zajedno s ranije utvrđenim genetičkim parametrima predstavljaju značajan prilog rješavanju zamršenih filogenetskih i taksonomskih odnosa unutar sekcije Salvia, ali isto tako omogućuju definiranje efikasnijih mjera zaštite ove rijetke i ugrožene vrste.

Abstract (english)

Short-tooth sage (Salvia brachyodon Vandas) belongs to the genus Salvia, section Salvia. This species is one of the rarest species of the Dinaric karst. Only two localities have been confirmed at the present time: Mt. Sveti Ilija on the peninsula of Pelješac (Republic of Croatia) and 150 km southeast of Mt Orijen (Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Montenegro). The aim of this graduation thesis was to determine morphological diversity of short-tooth sage using morphological measurements and statistical methods. The analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminate Analysis were performed using SAS computer program. The morphological analysis based on 16 morphological characters showed that two populations are especially different in four morphological traits: inflorescence length, glandular sessile trichome on a flower pedicel, calyx length and calyx appendices length. Differences in morphological traits may be explained as the adaptation of plants to different habitat conditions present at these two localities. Information on the morphological diversity of short-tooth sage populations together with the previously established genetic parameters represent a significant contribution to solving the complex phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships within sections Salvia, but also contribute to better protection of these rare and endangered species.
