Multivariate analysis of some species of the genus Lathyrus L. (Papilionoideae, Fabaceae) based on anatomical, micromorphological and macromorphological data
Abstract
Lathyrus L. (Papilionoideae, Fabaceae), a cosmopolitan genus, has great significance in terms of food and
agricultural areas. There are too few studies on the vegetative anatomy and the floral and foliar
micromorphology of the genus. The present study is therefore carried out by means of multivariate cluster
analysis (CA) and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) on the basis of the anatomical, micromorphological
as well as macromorphological characteristics of L. aureus (Steven) Bornm., L. czeczottianus Bässler
(endemic to Turkey), L. inconspicuus L., L. pratensis L., and L. sphaericus Retz. assigned to this genus. This
study is the first comprehensive report dealing with the vegetative anatomy and the petal, sepal and leaf
epidermal micromorphology of these species. In general, the results of the current analysis clearly reveal
the usefulness of these characters in inference of species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships.
