Abstract
Abstract Ranunculus L. (Ranunculaceae) is morphologically very diverse and palynological characters support the systematic studies of the genus. This study was aimed to perform palynological investigations of 30 different taxa of Ranunculus by using light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Polar-equatorial axis measurements, exine-intine layer thicknesses and colpi-pori numbers of pollen grains were examined using the Wodehouse method. Surface ornamentations were determined by electron microscope. The dendrogram of palynological characters analysed on the LM and SEM and observations made by multi-variate statistical package software partly support the monophyletic genera. According to the palynological dendrogram, Ranunculus taxa are divided into three types and R. arvensis clustered only in type 2. The results from present study suggest that the palynological characters can be useful for clarifying the taxonomic relationship in the genus.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
