The Anatomical Characteristics of Endemic Aethionema dumanii Vural & Adıgüzel (Brassicaceae)
Abstract
The
present study deals with the anatomical properties of Aethionema dumanii, which is an endemic species growing in Salt
Lake (Konya). The stem cross-sections have a single-layered epidermis, parenchymatous
cortex, vascular bundles, and pith cells. An equifacial mesophyll type was
observed in the leaves with multiple-layered palisade tissue, but the spongy
parenchyma was reduced. Vascular bundles were smaller. The cross-sections of
fruit had single exocarp, 3- or 4-layered mesocarp, and single-layered
endocarp. Transverse sections of the seed showed an epidermis, palisade tissue,
endosperm, and embryo. The anatomical characteristics of A. dumanii has been found
to have valuable taxonomic importance.
