Türkiye’de Doğal Olarak Yetişen Amelanchier Medik. Taksonlarının Odun Anatomileri

Özet

The wood anatomical features of four Amelanchier taxa of Turkey, Amelanchier ovalis subsp ovalis, A. ovalis subsp integrifolia, A. parviflora var. parviflora and A. parviflora var. dentata, were studied. Data were gathered on wood anatomical features: tangential and radial pore diameters, number of vessels per mm2 , length of vessel elements, fibres (lengths, widths, thickness of cell walls, lumen diameters),number of rays per mm, ray width and height such as quantitative characters. By using vessel member features, “Vulnerability” ratio (porediameter divided by number of vessels per mm2) and “Mesomorphy” indices (“Vulnerability” multiplied by vessel elements length) were calculated. All anatomical features were analysed and compared.
