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.

Abstract

Türkiye'den 14 Cuscuta taksonunun tohum morfolojisi, ışık (LM) ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ile incelenmiştir. Makro ve mikro morfolojik özelliklere ait tohum şekilleri, boyutları, epidermal hücre şekilleri, antiklinal/periklinal hücre duvarları ve yüzey desenleri belirlendi. Tohum epidermisi hücre şekilleri genellikle ya düzensizdir ya da çokgendir. Yüzey deseni çoğunlukla retikulattır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye’deki Cuscuta türlerinin farklı tohum morfolojilerine sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, morfolojik olarak yakın ilişkili türlerin taksonomik değerlendirmesine yardımcı olacaktır.
