[ 1 ] - Introduction of seed and capsule micromorphological features of the genus Scrophularia (Scrophulariaceae) in Iran

In the present study, seed surface ornamentations in 31 species (34 populations) and the capsule surface sculpturing in five species of the genus Scrophularia L. distributed in Iran were examined using Scanning Electronic Microscopy. Based on the published seed surface terminologies, all examined seeds show the reticulate pattern with scalariform inner ornamentations. However, there is enough b...

[ 2 ] - Micromorphological study on the seeds of wild species of Pyrus (Rosaceae) in Iran and their taxonomic implication

The seed micromorphological characters of 15 taxa of Iranian Pyrus comprising 22 individuals were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Digital Microscopy (DM) for the first time in this survey. For the assessment of probable ecological effects, several individuals of some widespread species were studied. After collecting several samples of each wild taxa of Pyrus from different lo...
