Comparative Fruit Anatomy and Morphology of Four Species Known As Cumin (Kimyon) In Turkey
Abstract
Herbs and spices have long been used to improve
the flavor of food. Cumin, one of these spices, is widely used all over the
world. However different species known as cumin are used for the same purpose.
According to the data obtained from ethnobotanical studies in Turkey, four
species are known and used as cumin (Kimyon) in the country; Carum carvi L., Cuminum cyminum L., Laser
trilobum (L.) Borkh. and Grammosciadium
daucoides DC. In this study, comparative fruit anatomy and morphology of
species were studied. The purpose of this study was to have easier species
identification by revealing the differences between their fruits. Considerable
differences were observed in the fruit morphology with different shapes. Also,
the fruit surface patterns of species showed important differences with the
only similarities of their surfaces were being striated. Carum carvi and Grammosciadium
daucoides had prominent striae, while Cuminum
cyminum and Laser trilobum
sustained slight striae. Species had different fruit anatomical shapes. The
extent of costal channels and the presence of secondary and primary ribs were
important differences. An identification key based on both morphological and
anatomical characters were presented for the studied species.
