Türkiye'de Alyssum (Brassicaceae) Türlerinin Tanımlanmasında Tohum Morfo-anatomik Karakterlerinin Uygulanabilirliği: Sistematik Bir Yaklaşım

In this work, morphological and anatomical features of seeds 15 Alyssum taxa (A. caricum, A. davisianum, filiforme, haussknechtii, murale subsp. var. murale, simplex, sibiricum, desertorum, hirsutum hirsutum, minutum, strictum, strigosum strigosum, szowitsianum, dasycarpum linifolium linifolium) from Turkey were examined with the cluster analysis, systematic importance these characteristics was assessed. The findings exhibited that there variations among respect to seed form, color, wing existence. dimensions between 0.43 - 2.12 mm in length, 0.34 2.05 width. davisianum filiforme remarkably distinct others terms dimension, first having smallest second largest seeds. surface ornamentation categorized as nine types; reticulate-foveate, scalariform, tuberculate, alveolate, reticulate-alveolate, aculate, ruminate, verrucate rugose. most common type however; tuberculate rugose types taxon specific. Also, formation thicknesses testa endosperm layers studied anatomically. Seed a few exclusions revealed variety they taxonomic significance discrimination taxa.
