Seed Morphology, Leaf Anatomy and Karyotype Analysis of the medicinal and ornamental plant; Vaccaria hispanica (Miller) Rauschert
Abstract
Vaccaria hispanica (Miller) Rauschert
is a monotypic genus which is in the family Caryophyllaceae. The plant is known
as ‘‘Ekinebesi’’ in Turkey. It has been recorded in pharmacopoeias and also it
has been cultivated as ornamental plant in Canada. The leaf anatomy V. hispanica has been determined, seed and chromosome
morphology have been confirmed in this study. Somatic chromosome number has
been determined as 2n=30. Relative variation in chromosome length and mean centromeric asymmetry of
the species has been estimated. The examined species has bifacial and
amphistomatic leaf. The lower stomatal index was estimated at 27.14%, the upper
stomatal index was estimated as 13.20%.
