Abstract

In this study, the anatomical and palynological features of Herniaria incana Lam. and H. pisidica Brummitt. species were investigated. Similarities and differences were discussed for species. Anatomy and pollen studies of these taxa are presented for the first time in this work. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Light Microscopy (LM) studies on the pollen grains have revealed that they are prolate – spheroidal and their exine ornamentation is microechinate – punctate. The stem has a collateral vascular bundle and the mesophyll type is bifacial for both H. incana and H. pisidica.

İki Herniaria L. (Caryophyllaceae) türünün karşılaştırmalı anatomisi ve palinolojisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Herniaria incana Lam. ve H. pisidica Brummitt. türlerinin anatomik ve palinolojik özellikleri incelenmiştir. İki tür için benzerlikler ve farklılıklar tartışılmıştır. Bu taksonlara ait anatomi ve polen çalışmaları ilk kez bu çalışmada sunulmaktadır. Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM) ve Işık Mikroskobu (LM) çalışmaları sonucunda; polenlerin prolat – sferoidal olduğu, polen ornamentasyonlarının ise mikroekinat – punktat olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Her iki tür için; gövde, kollateral iletim demetlerine sahiptir ve yaprak mezofil tipi bifasiyaldir.
