Using of light and scanning electron microscopy for pollen morphology of some Epilobium (Onagraceae) taxa and Its taxonomic importance
Abstract
In this study, pollen morphologies of eleven species of the Epilobium L. genus belonging to
Onagraceae family were investigated under light and scanning electron microscopy. Solutions to
taxonomic problems of these species were sought with palynological information. The
characteristics of the genus Epilobium L. studied as a result of palynological studies are as follows:
It has been determined that their pollen grains have tetrad, angulaperturate, 3-zonoporate (rarely
2,4 porate), suboblate and oblate-spheroidal pollen shapes, and have baculate, baculate-rugulate,
and rugulate ornamentation.
