Achene micromorphology and its taxonomic significance in some species in Taraxacum sect. Palustria (Asteraceae).

Summary

This study focused on identifying and distinguishing between different species within the genus Taraxacum, which contains over 2800 species. The researchers examined the morphology and micromorphology of achenes (seeds) from 28 species in one section and compared them to a species from each of four other sections. They found that the physical characteristics of the achenes can be used to differentiate between sections and species within sect. Palustria. Their findings resulted in the creation of a system for identifying the studied species using a dichotomous key. This research is important for accurately identifying and understanding the properties of these valuable medicinal and nutritional plants.
