Abstract

In this study, pollen and seed micromorphology of 7 naturally distrubuted Erodium species (E. acaule, E. amanum, E. botrys, E. cucitarium, E. gruinum, E. malacoides and E. moschatum) in Hatay Province (Turkey) have been studied. Palynological analysis showed that pollen grains were generally medium, spheroidal and spheroidal subprolate, radially symmetrical, tricolporate and reticulate-clavate ornamentation. The seed characters were found ovate-eliptic and oblanceolate in shape, with rugose-foveate, reticulate-foveate and bireticulate-foveate ornamentation. The results demonstrated that characters such as pollen size, pollen shape, seed size, seed shape, seed surface ornamentation and seed cell pattern were found important and useful for the identification of Erodium species investigated.

Hatay Yöresinde Yayılış Gösteren Bazı Erodium L’Herit (Geraniaceae) Türlerinin Polen ve Tohum Mikromorfolojileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Hatay’da doğal yayılış gösteren 7 Erodium türünün (E. acaule (L.) Becherer & Thell, E. amanum Boiss & Kotschy, E. botrys (Cav.) Bertol, E. cucitarium (L.) La’Herit, E. gruinum (L.) La’Herit, E. malacoides (L.) La’Herit ve E. moschatum (L.) La’Herit) polen ve tohum mikromorfolojileri incelenmiştir. Palinolojik analiz sonuçlarına göre polenlerin genellikle radial simetrik, medium büyüklükte, sferoidal ve sferoidal-subprolat şekillerde, trikolporat tipte ve retikulat-klavat yüzey ornamentasyonuna sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tohum özellikleri incelendiğinde tohumların ovat-eliptik ve oblanseolat şekillerde ve rugose-foveat, retikulat-foveat ve biretikulat-foveat ornamentasyona sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde polen şekli ve boyutu, tohum şekli ve boyutu, tohum yüzey süslemesi ve yüzey epidermal hücrelerin şeklinin incelenen Erodium türlerinin taksonomik ayrımında önemli ve kullanışlı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
