Leaf anatomical notes on Cirsium Miller (Asteraceae, Carduoideae) from Turkey

Abstract: Here, we describe the leaf anatomical characters of 26 Cirsium taxa (33 accessions) native to the northeast region of Turkey, with the aim of evaluating their taxonomic significance within the taxa. Leaf anatomies of all taxa were characterized and compared using cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis. The transverse sections of the leaves showed various numbers of vascular bundles and accessory bundles. In addition, significant differentiations were observed in the midrib and lamina thickness,… Show more

“…Anatomical characters, like thickness of collenchyma in the lower leaf, thickness of xylem, presence/absence of sclerenchyma, and thickness of inner phloem in stem, may be used along with morphological characters to delimit Cirsium species. Ozcan et al (2015) described the leaf anatomical characters of 26 Cirsium taxa of Turkey. These species could be separated based on the midrib and lamina thickness, the height and width of vascular bundle, and number of stomata, and epidermal cell wall patterns in the abaxial and adaxial surfaces.…”

“…Anatomical and micromorphological characteristics have been used in several taxonomical investigations (Ozcan et al, 2015;Erşen Bak & Merev, 2016). A few of morphological and anatomical studies have been conducted in Rhamnus species in the world.…”

“…While the mesophyll layer in the taxa growing at low altitudes is quite loose, it is denser in appearance of the parenchyma cells at high altitudes. This shows that high altitude and inadequate water can trigger further development of the mesophyll parenchyma, and consequently enhance photosynthetic activity (Fahn 1990, Ozcan et al 2015).…”
