Ultrasculpture of the fruits surface of Azerbaijan Nonea species (Boraginaceae Juss.)
Abstract
In this SEM study, surface of the fruits of 19 species of the genus Nonea was investigated for the first time. It was concluded that characters of fruit morphology have the diagnostic value at the specific and supraspecific level for the purposes of Nonea taxonomy. The nutlets of the species studied differ in size, shape, pubescence, surface structure and the structure of the basal ring. Features of the structure of the nutlets surface confirmed the independence of N. bakuensis Popov ex V. Karimov, N. cyanocalyx Popov ex V. Karimov, and N. flavescens (C. A. Mey.) Fisch. et C. A. Mey. N. bakuensis differs from the closely related species N. caspica, N. diffusa, and N. melanocarpa by the ovoid nutlets and ultrastructure of the surface (cells with flat tubercles located tightly to each other). In the group of N. pulla (L.) DC., N. cyanocalyx is distinguished by the shape of the nutlets (ovoid or ovate-globose with a well-drawn apex) and the structure of the basal ring (high, wrinkled, distinctly serrate at the margin). N. flavescens is well distinguishable from N. lutea and N. setosa by having ribbed nutlets with intense pubescence and thick basal ring. N. diffusa and N. melanocarpa, sometimes considered as synonyms of N. caspica, differ from the latter by the form of the nutlets, which shows their non-conspecificityDownloads
