Primula auriculata Lam. Türünün Vejetatif Organlarının Anatomik Özellikleri

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical characteristics of Primula auriculata, known as 'felçotu'. Anatomical studies were carried out on vegetative organs fixed in 70% alcohol. Sections were stained with a mixture of Safranin/fast green (1/9). The plant has a primary root structure. The root has prominent endodermis and pericycle layers. The stem is rhizome shaped. The vascular bundles are ring-shaped in the center of the rhizome. The leaf is dorsiventral and amphistomatic. There are idioblast cells in all investigated structures of the species. The stomatal index is 14.2 on the upper surface of the leaf and 18.4 on the lower surface.
