Seed morphology of Cuscuta L. (Convolvulaceae) in Turkey and its systematic importance

Abstract

Seed morphologies of 14 Cuscuta taxa from Turkey were examined by light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Seed shapes, sizes, epidermal cell shapes, anticlinal/periclinal cell walls and surface patterns of macro and micro morphological features were determined. Seed epidermis cell shapes were generally either irregular or polygonal. The surface pattern was mostly reticulate. This research revealed that Cuscuta species in Turkey have different seed morphologies. The results obtained will aid in the taxonomic evaluation of morphologically closely related species.
