Morphologlcal and anatomical structure of generative organs of Salsola kali ssp. ruthenica (lljin) Soó at the SEM level

Abstract

The morphology and anatomy of generative organs of Salsola kali ssp. ruthenica was examined in detail using the light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The whole flowers, fruits and their parts (pistil, stamens, sepals, embryo, seed) were observed in different developmental stages. In the first stage (June), flower buds were closed. In the second stage (August), flowers were ready for pollination/fertilization. In the third stage (September), fruits were mature. Additionally, the anatomical and morphological structure of sepals was observed by means of LM and SEM. Thanks to the transverse and longitudinal semi-sections through sepals, the first phase of wing formation was recorded by SEM. The appearance of stomata in the epidermal cells of sepals above the forming wings was very interesting, too. The stomata were observed also in mature fruits.

Investigating the anatomy of the halophyte Salsolacrassa and the impact of industrial wastewater on its vegetative and generative structures

“…Hence, the mature wall of the pollen sac comprises two layers, epidermis and endothecium, and the center is filled with numerous pollen grains. When the grains ripen, a rupture at the stomium leads to their release (Idzikowska, 2005); in the treated group, this occurred sooner. These reports are in line with our results.…”

“…Each pollen sac was filled with abundant pollen grain ( Figures 9B). The descriptions of Salsola kali by Idzikowska (2005) and Chenopodium quinoa Willd. by Abdelbar (2018) were in line with our reports.…”

“…The stigma is a dry landing platform for pollen grains in the early stages and shrinks and dies after fertilization. While the pistil forms the fruit, the anther and stigma dry and drop off the flower (Idzikowska, 2005). The fruit of S. kali is a vertical utricle surrounded by five enlarged fin-shaped sepals.…”

“…Salsola and Sweada. The genus Salsola has Salsola soda L. species, this name derived from the Latin Sallere means to salt (Remann andBreckle, 1995;Idzikowska, 2005).…”
