Özet
The seed morphologies and testa textures of 23 taxa belonging to the Pratensis, Orobon, Lathyrus, Orobastrum and Cicercula sections of Lathyrus that can widely be found in Turkey were analysed. The findings obtained in this study and previous findings (34 taxa in total) were compared and interpreted at the level of the sections. Morphological properties including seed size, general shape, surface shape, colour, hilum length and width were measured under stereomicroscopy. The seeds were of spheroidal, subprolate and prolate (P/E = 0.90-1.58) types and medium in size. The smallest seeds belonged to Lathyrus inconspicuus var. inconspicuus (P = 2.19 +/- A 0.25 mm, E = 2.08 +/- A 0.16 mm) and the largest to L. sativus (P = 5.88 +/- A 0.74 mm, E = 5.36 +/- A 0.57 mm). The smallest hilum belonged to L. inconspicuus var. stenophyllus (0.38 +/- A 0.04 mm) and the largest to L. sylvestris (4.50 +/- A 0.58 mm). Testa textures such as papillae shape, dense, ribbing and presence or absence of a waxy layer were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, some photographs included in this study were taken via stereomicroscopy and SEM.
