Presence of Teucrium microphyllum in Turkey: Morpho-anatomical, karyological and ecological studies

Abstract

This study presents investigations on the morphological, anatomical, karyological and ecological features a perennial shrubby species Teucrium microphyllum Desf., belonging to Sect. Chamaedrys Mill. Schreb., endemic to Central and South Aegean Islands and Southwest Anatolia. Description of T. microphyllum was expanded. The morphological features indumentum of stem, leaf, calyx and corolla were determined using stereo-microscope and scanning electron microscope. Cross-sections of stem and leaf was taken using razor by manually. Stem is rectangular and has 4-5-layered collenchyma in the corners. Leaf is bifacial. There are 2 -3 -layered palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma has 2-4 layers. Chromosome number was determined with using squash preparation method and the somatic chromosome number was found as 2n = 30. The basic chromosome number of the species was x = 15. The karyotype formula of this species consists of fifteen median chromosome pairs. The soil samples were collected from the localities at a depth of between 0–20 cm. The texture, total salt, inorganic matters P, K, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn and the percentage of organic matter were determined. Besides, the associated species of T. microphyllum were determined for the ecological observation. T. microphyllum was studied morphologically, anatomically, karyologically and ecologically for the first time
