Adaptive Responses and Ultrastructural Findings of Onobrychis germanicopolitana Hub.-Mor. & Simon (Fabaceae) Growing Naturally at Gypsum Habitats

Abstract

Onobrychis germanicopolitana Hub.-Mor. & Simon is a perennial plant endemic to gypsum areas in Çankırı, Turkey. Scanning electron microcopy (SEM) observations on vegetative and reproductive organs of O. germanicopolitana presented detailed information of ultrastructural properties, illustrating adaptations to specific conditions of gypsum habitats. The ultrastructural study of the leaves revealed them to be amphistomatic, with more stomata than the upper surface, to have densely surface hairs, and the palisade parenchyma (~110 µm) covers more area than sponge parenchyma (~60 µm). The secondary structure was sighted in the transverse sections of stem and cambium was clearly distinguish. The root showed the presence of large vascular cylinder surrounded by a cortex and periderm. Hair density at the base of the calyx is quite high and the outer surface of the calyx epidermis consists of hexagonal cells. The outer surface of the vexillum has cuticular lines in the form of indentations and protrusions. In addition to other adaptive features, the hairs abundantly found on leaves, stems and fruits had papillary protrusions. The ultrastructural properties of O. germanicopolitana, were given for the first time in this study revealing detailed descriptive ultrastructures that as a source of information and reference.
