摘要

The study of palynological systematics in selected Riparian Moraceous species provides crucial insights into species identification, evolutionary relationships, and ecological adaptations. It also enhances the understanding of regional riparian biodiversity and aids in conservation efforts. This study aimed to examine the pollen morpho-structure of 13 species in the Moraceae family. Advanced techniques, including light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were utilized to authenticate the systematic significance of pollen micromorphology. Pollen grains were first acetolyzed, followed by the visualization of their sculptural features. The quantified data were subjected to statistical analysis to identify distinct pollen morphotypes. The size of pollen is variable, ranging from 9.14 µm in Ficus auriculata to 23.07 µm in Morus alba. The study revealed monad, diporate to triporate grains. Sculpturing (exine ornamentation) varies from psilate to scabrate. Based on examination, it was ascertained that the minimum exine thickness in Ficus microcarpa was 0.41 µm, whereas the corresponding number in Ficus palmata was 1.81 µm. In the presented study, 13 pollen shapes were observed: from tubular to elliptic. The observed variation in pollen traits reveals evolutionary linkages and have practical applications in taxonomic classification, species delimitation, and understanding ecological adaptations in the Moraceae family.
