Pollen morphology of the some taxa belonging to Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae) and Its taxonomic importance

Abstract

In this study, the genus Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae) from the Plantaginacae family V. bozakmanii M.A.Fisch., V. triphyllos L., V. persica Poir., V.triloba Opiz., V. anagallis-aquatica L., V. oxycarpa Boiss., V. cinerea Boiss. & Balansa., V. macrostachya Vahl. subsp. mardinensis (Bornm.) M. A. Fisch., V. orientalis L. subsp. orientalis, V. orientalis L. subsp. nimrodi (Richt. ex Stapf) M.A. Fisch taxa were investigated in terms of palynological features. The specimens of this taxa were collected during the field surveys were investigated using Light Microscope (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). As a result of this study some common traits of the taxa found out such as polen tectate, the pollen shapes being subprolate, prolate and the symmetry being heteropolar. Also, the type of the aperture is tricolpate. The SEM microphotographs shows that the ornamentations are reticulate, scabrate-perforate and striate-microreticulate.
