Впервые некоторые таксоны рода Вики ( Vicia L.) из Азербайджана были подвергнуты морфологическому и сканирующему электронно-микроскопическому (SEM) анализу: V. elegans Guss., V. monantha Retz. ( V. cinerea M. Bieb.), V. tenuifolia Roth subsp. variabilis (Freyn et Sint. ex Freyn) Dinsm., V. villosa Roth subsp. varia (Host) Corb. ( V. dasycarpa auct.), V. villosa subsp. villosa Roth. Образцы семян были собраны в 2015-2017 годах из разных регионов Азербайджана (Закатала, Ордубад и Шамахи). Собранные таксоны были сгруппированы в подвид Vicilla и в секцию Cracca. В образцах структура поверхности, форма, плотность, поверхность или воскообразный слой папилл (почки с поверхностью всасывания) были изучены методом сканирующей электронной микроскопии (СЭМ). Морфологические признаки, общая форма, размер, цвет, структура поверхности семян и размеры семян были изучены под стереомикроскопом во время исследования.
For the first time, some taxa of the genus Vetch ( Vicia L.) belonging to subgenus Vicilla and section Cracca (according to the system of Kupicha) from the Azerbaijan were subjected to morphological and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses: V. tenuifolia Roth subsp. variabilis (Freyn & Sint. ex Freyn) Dinsm., V. villosa subsp. villosa Roth, V. villosa Roth subsp. varia (Host) Corb. (V. dasycarpa auct.), V. monantha Retz. (V. cinerea M. Bieb.), V. elegans Guss. Seed patterns were collected in 2015-2017 from different region of Azerbaijan (Zagatala, Ordubad and Shamakhi). In all seed samples, the seed’s surface was papillate. However, the size of the ribs in the papillas and the density of papillas were different in different taxa. The papillae with medium density were observed in V. tenuifolia subsp. variabilis. Dense papilla were observed in V. villosa subsp. villosa , V. villosa subsp. varia , V. monantha and V. elegans. V. villosa subsp. varia had conical, multirib papillas with waxy specks. However, small conical multirib were observed in V. tenuifolia subsp. variabilis and V. monantha . Conical multirib was found in V. villosa subsp. villosa and broad conical in V. elegans. Ovate hilum was observed in V. villosa subsp. varia. Oblong-elliptic hilum is peculiar to V. tenuifolia subsp. variabilis , V. villosa subsp. villosa , V. monantha , and V. elegans . The largest seeds are found in V. tenuifolia subsp. variabilis , and the smallest ones in V. villosa subsp. varia . Detected micromorphological features play an important role in the determination of different taxa of the genus Vicia L.
