Anatomical and pollen characters in Acanthophyllum C.A.Mey. (Caryophyllaceae) from northeast of Iran

摘要: Palynological and anatomical features of 11 species from NE Iran belonging to Acanthophyllum sect. Oligosperma were carried out evaluated by numerical methods determine the taxonomic value endomorphic characters. The cross section stems, peduncles leaves prepared stained with Safranin Fast-green pollen morphology has been examined light scanning electron microscope. principal component analysis Cluster Analysis results showed that type stomata, shape size epidermal cells, trichomes, number cells stem section, arrangment xylem elements in peduncle, mesophyll leaf sclerenchymatous layers are significant separating species. grains spheroid, pantoporate, ornamentation was scabrate-punctate exine structure spinulose-punctate.
