Abstract:

In this research foliar anatomy of seven species of Avena are studied under the light microscope and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). This study includes seven species, namely, A. barbata, A. clauda, A. eriantha, A. fatua, A. ludoviciana, A. sativa and A. wiestii. Different anatomical characters sush as number of bulliform cells, mesophyll thickness, midrib, number of vascular bundles from midrib to margin and some other characters are efficient in identification of species. Anatomical results are applied in separation of species from each other. The identification key based on anatomical characters is also presented. It is concluded that, the identification key based on morphological characters supports the relation between species based on anatomy.

MEIOTIC STUDIES OF SOME AVENA SPECIES AND POPULATIONS IN IRAN

Eleven populations of five Avena species were analysed for meiotic characters including chiasma frequency and distribution as well as chromosomal association and segregation. Plants of a single population of A. eriantha showed the presence of 2n = 14 (diploid) and 2n = 4x = 28 chromosome number. Populations of A. barbata and A. wiestii possessed n = 14, while populations of A. sterilis ssp. lud...

PHENETIC STUDIES IN AVENA SPECIES AND POPULATIONS OF IRAN

A multivariate statistical analysis was performed on morphological characters of sixty-one populations of Avena eriantha Dur. A. clauda Dur., A. barbata Pott ex Link., A. wiestii Steud., A. fatua L., A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana L. and A. sativa L. Factor analysis revealed that intraspecific morphological variations are due to quantitative characters. Interspecific as well as intersectional rel...

AN ANATOMICAL STUDY OF FIVE POLYSTICHUM SPECIES IN IRAN

In this research, five species of genus Polystichum, belong to Aspidiaceae, namely, P. lonchitis, P. woronowii, P. setiferum, P. braunii and P. aculeatum, gathered from Gilan and MazandaranProvinces were anatomically studied. To distinguish anatomical character of different growing organs such as pinnules, rachis, rhizumes and roots, the cross section was prepared. Based on these researches, id...
