“…The separation of Phelipanche and Orobanche is confirmed by recent molecular phylogenetic studies (e.g. Schneeweiss et al 2004a, b;Manen et al 2004;Park et al 2007a, b); morphological and carpological differences (Holub 1977;Teryokhin 1997;Joel 2009a, b); chemotaxonomic study (Velasco et al 2000) and micromorphology of seeds (e.g. Abu Plaza et al 2004); and pollen grains (Zare et al 2013).…”

Pollen grains of 450 samples of 25 species of the genus Orobanche and Phelipanche occurring in Central Europe were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Palynological data on 18 species are reported here for the first time. The usefulness of micromorphological studies on pollen of Orobanche and Phelipanche is demonstrated. Previous research showed the separation of Phelipanche from Orobanche, a finding which is also supported by pollen aperture type and exine ornamentation. The pollen of Phelipanche is tricolpate, while that of Orobanche is inaperturate. Our research showed that one of the species included so far within Orobanche, namely O. coerulescens, has tricolpate pollen with microreticulate sculpture. As a consequence of the finding of tricolpate pollen and intermediate macromorphological characteristics of this species between Orobanche and Phelipanche, it is proposed to transfer it to a new genus, Orobanchella, described in the paper. A comparison of the main characteristics distinguishing Orobanche, Phelipanche, Boulardia and Orobanchella is also presented and discussed.

“…Tocopherols, together with tocotrienols and plastoquinones, are known as tocochromanols (Seher and Ivanov, 1973;Velasco et al, 2000) and some of them exhibit vitamin E activity. With this study some Turkish leguminous seed oils were examined as potential sources of natural tocopherols and tocotrienols.…”

“…In general, green, unstressed photosynthetic plant tissues contain from 10 to 50 mg tocochromanols/g fresh weight with oil palm leaf being a notable exception (Lichtenthaler, 1968;Gapor et al, 1986;Fryer, 1993;Velasco et al, 2000). The predominance of a-tocopherol in photosynthetic tissues presumable reflects a highly conserved structural or functional role in the plastid that is as yet unknown.…”
