Abstract

In this study, the pollen morphology of the allergic Dysphania botrys (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants (Amaranthaceae) taxon, which has a natural distribution within the borders of Eskişehir province, was investigated in terms of pollen morphology and allergic properties. Pollen grains of D. botrys are periporatae and sphaeroidal shaped. As a result of microscopic examinations, A/B=1.06 μm (W), A (polar axis): 4.08 µm; B (Equatorial axis): measured at 25.04 μm. The thickness of the Exine is 1.73 µm.

Keywords
