Seed and Pollen Morphology in Nine Native Chinese Species of <i>Sorbus</i> (Rosaceae)

The present study focused on the examination of seed and pollen morphology nine native Chinese species genus Sorbus L. using Light Microscope (LM) Scanning Electron (SEM). crucial features investigated for seeds include color, shape, epidermal cell size, coat ornamentation. On other hand, grains are analyzed based quantitative traits as well following traits: polar equatorial view, apertures exine Pollens studied taxa were monad trizonocolporate. most important ornamentation striae grooves (length width) perforations (number diameter). variability observed morphological both provide characteristics to differentiate species.
