Abstract
Abstract The pollen morphology of 150 species representing 33 genera of Zingiberaceae was examined using light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as part of a comprehensive survey of this family. The pollen grains of the species studied are inaperturate, with a thin exine and thick intine, and with diverse ornamentation. This variation in the pollen suggests it may be a useful source of characters for future phylogenetic analyses based on combined datasets.
期刊介绍:
Grana is an international journal of palynology and aerobiology. It is published under the auspices of the Scandinavian Palynological Collegium (CPS) in affiliation with the International Association for Aerobiology (IAA). Grana publishes original papers, mainly on ontogony (morphology, and ultrastructure of pollen grains and spores of Eucaryota and their importance for plant taxonomy, ecology, phytogeography, paleobotany, etc.) and aerobiology. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
