Contributions to the Leaf and Stem Anatomy of Tradescantia fluminensis: an Alien Species New to the Flora of Turkey

Abstract

Tradescantia fluminensis Vell. (Commelinaceae) has been recorded as a new naturalised alien species for the flora of Turkey from NE Anatolia. Its description, detailed leaf and stem anatomical properties, measurements, and photographs are presented in this paper. It was observed that the stems have a primary structure, the central cylinder comprises 2 concentric rings of closed collateral vascular bundles, and the leaves are bifacial and hypostomatic, with tetracytic stomata cells. In addition, it was determined that the thickness of the leaf lamina is 326 ± 4.79 µm and average of stomatal length and stomatal index in the abaxial surface of the leaf is 51.70 ± 0.33 µm and 12.54 ± 1.33, respectively.

Türkiye Florası İçin Yabancı Yeni Bir Tür Olan Tradescantia fluminensis’in Yaprak ve Gövde Anatomisine Katkılar

Abstract

Tradescantia fluminensis Vell. (Commelinaceae), Türkiye florası için doğallaşmış yabancı bir tür olarak ilk kez Kuzeydoğu Anadolu’dan kaydedilmektedir. Bu çalışmada türün betimlemesi, yaprak ve gövdesinin detaylı anatomik özellikleri, ölçümler ve fotoğraflar sunulmaktadır. Gövdelerin primer yapılı, merkezi silindir iki konsentrik halkalı, kapalı kollateral iletim demetleri içerdiği ve yaprakların bifasial, hipostomatik, tetrasitik tip stomalı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca yaprak laminasının kalınlığı 326 ± 4.79 µm ve yaprağın alt yüzeyinde ortalama stoma uzunluğu ve stoma indeksi sırasıyla 51.70 ± 0.33 µm ve 12.54 ± 1.33 olarak tespit edilmiştir.
