Pollen morphology and variability of caprifig (Ficus carica var. caprificus) genetic resources in Turkey using multivariate analysis

Mürüvvet ILGIN

This research was carried out to determine pollen morphological characteristics of caprifig genetic resources known as gene center Anatolia. In this study, pollens from 24 individuals, including 20 caprifig genotypes sampled from the Adana, Hatay, Kahramanmaras, Mersin, and Osmaniye provinces in the eastern Mediterranean region, and four standard cultivars from Aydin in the Aegean region of Turkey were collected. Pollen size and shape, exine thickness, exine tissue, polar and equatorial views, numbers of porates and width, and colpus length and width were measured by using light microscopy (LM ...Более
