Özet
Seed morphologies of 14 Cuscuta taxa from Turkey were examined by
light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Seed shapes, sizes,
epidermal cell shapes, anticlinal/periclinal cell walls and surface
patterns of macro and micro morphological features were determined.
Seed epidermis cell shapes were generally either irregular or polygonal.
The surface pattern was mostly reticulate. This research revealed that
Cuscuta species in Turkey have different seed morphologies. The results
obtained will aid in the taxonomic evaluation of morphologically closely
related species.
