The Anatomical And Palynological Properties Of Alyssum Obtusifolium Steven Ex Dc. (Brassicaceae), Nermi̇n Orcan, Riza Bi̇nzet
Turkish Journal of Botany
Alyssum obtusifolium Steven ex DC. was explored in terms of its anatomical and palynological aspects. The root is perennial and it has alternating concentric zones of xylem with large and small vessels respectively. The number of vascular bundles is 13-15 in the stem. The leaves are isolateral and have stomata cells which are anisocytic. Both surfaces of the leaves are covered with stellate hairs. The pollen type of the specimens is tricolpate.

In Vitro Pollen Germination And Pollen Tube Characteristics In Tetraploid Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense L., H. Nurhan Büyükkartal
Turkish Journal of Botany
The morphological characteristics, fertility and in vitro germination of natural tetraploid red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) pollen were examined as well as the characteristics of pollen tubes and callose formation. Pollen grains of red clover are tricolporate and usually the germination of pollen is monosphonic. Among the pollen tubes that were formed under in vitro conditions, in addition to those that went through the normal growth process, poorly or non-grown pollen tubes were also observed. In addition, some abnormalities in the form of callose deposition were observed in the pollen tubes.
