The Pollen Morphology of Pelargonium Endlicherianum and Pelargonium Quercetorum (Geraniaceae) in Turkey
(Pensoft Publ, 2016) Baser, Birol; Firat, Mehmet; Aziret, Akin
The pollen morphology of Pelargonium endlicherianum Fenzl. and Pelargonium quercetorum Agnew. from the family Geraniaceae was examined under light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Pollen morphologies are eurypalynous. The pollen grains were tricolporate, prolate-spheroidal and large. Aperture was ectoaperture, colpus was short, and the pores were oblate-spheroidal and large. The exine ornamentations were striate-reticulate and the reticula were heterobrachate. The 2 species are invasive exotics in Turkey.
Pollen and Nutlet Micromorphology of a Rare Species Salvia Kurdica (Lamiaceae) From Turkey
(Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2017) Firat, Mehmet; Baser, Birol; Aziret, Akin
Salvia kurdica Boss & Hohen. ex. Benth. is known from only 2 localities in the territory of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq. As a part of the fieldwork, this species was collected from Sirnak Province. In this study, the micromorphological characteristics of its pollen grains and nutlets have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy and a light microscope. The pollen grains are hexacolpate, radially symmetrical, isopolar, and suboblate. Its exine sculpturing is bireticulate-perforate. The nutlets are rounded-trigonous in transverse sections, orbicular ovate-oblong in shape, glabrous and slightly tuberculate. This is an invasive species in Turkey.
