“…A diverse traditional usage on a great geography stimulate researchers to work on Nigella in all aspects such as composition of seed oils (Havlik et al 2006), antibacterial (Landa et al 2006), antifungal (Landa et al 2006), antiinflammatorial (Landa et al 2007), anticancer (Gali-Muhtasib et al 2006), antitumor (Kumara & Huat 2001), cytotoxic (Thabrew et al 2005), antiulcer (Arslan et al 2005), analgesic (Al-Ghamdi 2001), antihypertensive (Zaoui et al 2000), anti-diabetic (ElDakhakhny et al 2002), anticestode and antinematode (Akhtar & Riffat 1991), antioxidative (Kökdil et al 2006b), immunomodulator (Nazrul Islam et al 2004) and respiratory stimulation (El Tahir et al 1993) features of Nigella species were studied.…”

Macro and micromorphological properties of intact and mature seeds of 12 taxa (species and varieties) belonging to Nigella L. (Ranunculaceae) was investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Material studied covers 11 species of 15 Turkish Nigella. Studied taxa were divided into two types. Type I has ovate to orbicular seeds that includes four species. Type II has triquedrous seeds and includes seven species. Type II was subdivided into two. Type IIa has triquedrous to subpyramidal seeds (five species) and Type IIb has triquedrous to subglobose seeds (two species). Further segregation was performed micromorphologically and an identification key of studied Nigella taxa was given. Studied Nigella taxa have a diverse macro and micromorphological characters that utilize to separate them from each other to assess the systematics of Nigella.
