Palynological Features of Iris sintenisii (Iridaceae)
Journal Title: International Journal of Plant & Soil Science - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
This study is a palynological description of the pollen grains of Iris sintenisii, Iridaceae. The pollen samples were collected in the hills of Krasta next to Elbasan city, Albania. The palynological features of the pollen grains of this specie were studied for the first time and were compared with that of Iris germanica. The slides were prepared using two methods: Acetolysis (according to Erdtman, 1960) and basic fuchsine method (according Smoljaninova & Gollubkova, 1953). Important morphological features of the pollen grains as symmetry, form, size, apertures and also the thickness of exine were examined. The results have shown that the pollen grains of Iris sintenisii are smaller than the pollen grains of Iris germanica. The thickness of the exine of Iris sintenisii is thinner than the exine of pollen grains of Iris germanica.
