Abstract

This study aims to provide a detailed anatomical investigation of root, stem, and leaf structures in taxa belonging to the genus Jordania. Cross-sections of different species were analyzed to compare their anatomical characteristics. The findings reveal that the root tissues exhibit well-developed vascular structures with open collateral vascular bundles. The stem sections are characterized by dense trichomes, with the cuticle of covering trichomes showing silicification. The endodermis layer consists of a single row of cells containing abundant druse crystals. A wide pith region with large, transparent pith cells is observed at the center of the stem. The leaves are amphistomatic with an equifacial mesophyll structure. The vascular bundles in the leaves are collateral, and numerous druse crystals are found above the sclerenchyma cluster. These anatomical features support the differentiation of Jordania taxa and contribute to their taxonomic classification.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Jordania cinsine ait taksonların kök, gövde ve yaprak anatomik özelliklerini detaylı bir şekilde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, türlerin enine kesitleri analiz edilerek anatomik karakterleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular, köklerde iyi gelişmiş bir iletim dokusunun bulunduğunu ve açık kollateral iletim demetleri sergilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Gövde kesitleri yoğun tüylenme ile karakterize olup, örtü tüylerinin kütikülalarının silisleşmiş olduğu belirlenmiştir. Endodermis tabakası tek sıralı hücrelerden oluşmakta ve yoğun miktarda druz kristali içermektedir. Gövde merkezinde geniş bir öz bölgesi ve büyük, şeffaf öz hücreleri gözlemlenmiştir. Yapraklar amfistomatik olup ekvifasiyal mezofil yapısına sahiptir. Yaprak iletim demetleri kollateral tiptedir ve sklerankima kümesi üzerinde yoğun druz kristalleri bulunmaktadır. Bu anatomik bulgular, Jordania cinsine ait türlerin belirlenmesini desteklemekte ve taksonomik sınıflandırmaya katkı sağlamaktadır.
