Comparative study on pollen morphology of Geranium in Liaoning Province
Abstract:Objective:to observe the pollen morphology of Geranium species in Liaoning Province,and to achieve the purpose of differential identification of the same genus.Methods:the pollen size,morphology,surface ornamentation and germination ditch of Geranium species in Liaoning province were observed,compared and classified by scanning electron microscope(SEM).Results:The pollen of seven kinds of Geranium species were nearly spherical,and the outer wall was rod-like composite pattern,and there were differences in the size of the pollen,the size of the germination ditch,the rod shape and the size,the degree and the size of the mesh.Conclusion:the experimental results have certain guiding significance for the division and identification of Geranium species,and lay a foundation for revealing the diversity of Geranium resources.
