Pollen Morphology Of Datura Metel L., Millettia Thonningii Scrum. And Luffa Cylindrica L:- Asimole, Chibueze F.
ABSTRACT
Morphology and structure of pollen were
described for three different species of three plants; Datura metel from the
family Solanaceae,Mi//ef/za thonningii from the family Fabaceae; Papilionaceae
and Luffa cylindrica from the family Cucurbitaceaeby collecting their different
pollen grains from matured flowers. Observation were made on the pollen shape,
pollen aggregation after pollen formation, pollen aperture, polar view of the
pollens, equatorial view of the pollens and pollen sculpturing using light
microscope and micrographic microscope (scope image 9.0) to get the
photomicrograph of the different pollen samples. Two different pollen shapes
were observed among the three different pollen grains; tile circular shape and
alliptic shape. Datura metel and Millcttia thonningii pollens are circular in
shape and the alliptic shape were observed in Luffa cylindrica pollen. The
findings ofthis study will contribute to the knowledge of pollen morphology to
these plants and to their taxonomic delineation as well.
