Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to determine the anatomical and palynological characteristics of four pea genotypes including natural vegetation (Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum L.var. sativum L. and Pisum sativum L.subsp. elatius var. elatius ) and cultivated varieties (P. sativum cv. Bolero and P. sativum cv. Utrillo), and compare genotypes regarding observed characteristics. Pollen morphology of pea genotypes was examined comparatively in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Moreover, the anatomical features of the genotypes were determined on the light microscope by taking cross sections from the root, stem, and leaves of the genotypes using a microtome. As a result, the pollen type was determined to be trizonocolporate, pollen shape was prolate and perprolate, exine sculpturing was reticulate, and the colpus was narrow, long and with distinct boundaries in all genotypes. It was determined that the size and number of traces in the root, the shape of the stem, and the locations of the phloem, xylem, and palisade parenchyma were distinctive among genotypes when anatomical characteristics are examined. This research was the first study to examine roots, stems, leaves and anatomy and also pollen morphology of the genotypes investigated within the context of the study. Key words: Pea, palynology, Pisum sativum, anatomy
