A morphological study of Smyrnium Apiaceae from Turkey

Abstract

In this study, six taxa of the genus Smyrnium L. Apiaceae Smyrnium olusatrum L, S. perfoliatum L. subsp. perfoliatum, S. perfoliatum Mill. subsp. rotundifolium, S. cordifolium Boiss., S. connatum Boiss & Kotschy and S. creticum Mill. were investigated. Specimens were collected from the field and general morphology of every taxa was drawn. Especially micromorphological surface characteristics of mericarps were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy SEM and mericarp characters of each taxa were examined by using light microscopy and quantitative analysis was done because of the mericarp characters importance in systematic. Based on these data, the mericarp’s features were added to the identification key in addition to the characters used in differentiating the species in the Flora of Turkey

Türkiye’nin Smyrnium Apiaceae cinsi üzerine morfolojik bir çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de doğal olarak yetişen Smyrnium L. yabani kereviz cinsinin 6 taksonu; S. olusatrum L. delikereviz , S. perfoliatum L. subsp. perfoliatum sarıkörek , S. perfoliatum Mill. subsp. rotundifolium çakalbaldıran , S . cordifolium Boiss. kokarbaldıran , S. connatum Boiss & Kotschy yabani kereviz , S. creticum Mill. belesanotu incelenmiştir. Araziden toplanan örneklerden her taksona ait genel görünüşler aydınger üzerine çizilmiştir. Özellikle merikarp karakterlerinin sistematikteki öneminden dolayı, merikarpların mikromorfolojik yüzey özellikleri taramalı elektron mikroskobunda SEM incelenmiş, ayrıca her taksona ait örneklerin merikarp karakterleri stereo ışık mikroskobu ile incelenerek sayısal analizleri yapılmıştır. Bu veriler ışığında Türkiye Florası’nda yer alan türlerin ayrımında kullanılan karakterlere ilave olarak, tohum özellikleri de eklenerek teşhis ayrım anahtarı tekrar yapılmıştır
