Palynology of Taxa of Crepis L. Genus Growing in Çanakkale, Türkiye

Abstract

This study investigated the pollen morphology of the taxa belonging to the genus Crepis L. collected from various localities in Çanakkale in 2015. Wodehouse (1935) and Acetolysis (Erdtman, 1960) methods were used in the research. Pollen morphologies of 3 species and two subspecies belonging to the Crepis L. genus were defined according to light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations. In LM, pollens are monad, radially symmetrical and isopolar. Pollens are suboblate and oblate spheroidal, Amb shape is inter-hexagonal-subtriangular. The pollen of the genus is tricolporate. The view from the equator is circular and oval. In the examinations made with LM, the ornamentation is echinulophate. Pollen has 15 lacunae as 3 poral, 6 abporal, 6 paraboral. Ornamentation is echinulophate; the tectum surface is microperforate. SEM micrographs of C. smyrnaea and C. commutata pollen show depressions at the corners of the polar field. The collapses are located on the paraboral lacunae and are distinctly lacuna-like. As a result, in this study, palynological features of C. smyrnaea DC., C. micrantha Czerep., C. commutata (Spreng.), C. reuterana Boiss. & Heldr. subsp. reuterana taxa were studied for the first time. C. smyrnaea DC. ex Froel. was collected for the first time in Çanakkale within the scope of this study, according to the type records in Flora of Turkey.
