Abstract
The present study deals with the anatomical properties of Aethionema dumanii, which is an endemic species growing in Salt Lake (Konya). The stem cross-sections have a single-layered epidermis, parenchymatous cortex, vascular bundles, and pith cells. An equifacial mesophyll type was observed in the leaves with multiple-layered palisade tissue, but the spongy parenchyma was reduced. Vascular bundles were smaller. The cross-sections of fruit had single exocarp, 3- or 4-layered mesocarp, and single-layered endocarp. Transverse sections of the seed showed an epidermis, palisade tissue, endosperm, and embryo. The anatomical characteristics of A. dumanii has been found to have valuable taxonomic importance.
Highlights
The family Brassicaceae is represented by 321 genera and about 3660 species worldwide, and at such high numbers, it is known as a significant dicot family (AlShehbaz, 2012)
The present work is the first report about the anatomical traits of the vegetative organs, fruit, and seeds of A. dumanii in the family Brassicaceae
Investigations conducted regarding the anatomical traits of the genus Aethionema are little-known (Atçeken et al, 2016, Karaismailoğlu, 2019)
