Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The 22 examined Thlaspi sensu lato taxa differ from each other in seed shape and color.
- Observation Seed length of the examined taxa ranges from 1.25 mm to 2.99 mm.
- Observation Seed width of the examined taxa ranges from 0.66 mm to 2.16 mm.
- Observation Thlaspi rosulare and T. tatianae have the largest seeds.
- Observation Seed surface ornamentation of the examined taxa is classified into nine types.
- Observation Reticulate-areolate is the most common seed surface ornamentation type.
- Observation Areolate, colliculate, ocellate and tuberculate ornamentation types were found to be taxon-specific.
- Observation The testa is typically made up of four layers: epidermis, subepidermis, sclerotic (palisade) layer and parenchyma layer.
- Observation The sclerotic (palisade) layer may not be seen in some of the species.
- Observation The structures and thicknesses of the testa layers are highly significant characters that reveal interspecific relationships within the examined taxa.
- Observation The results are compared with earlier classifications and taxon transfers are questioned.
- Method / resource A key for identifying the examined taxa based on seed characteristics is provided.
