Abstract
The study of pollen grains, or
palynology, includes analyzing the microscopic structure and the application of
pollen grain variations in different scientific branches. Seven cultivars
including, (K, Blossfeldiana Calandiva; Leonardo K. blossfeldiana
Calandiva; Fonda; K. blossfeldiana Calandiva Monro; K. blossfeldiana
Calandiva Hayworth; K. blossfeldiana Calandiva Rosalina; K.
blossfeldiana Calandiva Bardot; K. blossfeldiana Calandiva Middler)
of the family Crassulaceae, where studied using microscopic and scanning
electron microcsope (SEM) features. Inorder to evaluate interspecific
similarities and differences, as a taxonomicindicators. The light microscope
results revealed that pollen grains were free, small to medium size varied from
subprolate, prolate – spheroidal and perprolate shapes, radially symmetric,
isopolar, trisulcate. The Scanning electron microscope results showed simple
differences in exine ornamentation, while polar, equatorial, and exine
thickness measurements revealed variations among studied cultivars.
