Abstract

Despite numerous studies, the genus Laurencia J. V. Lamouroux (Ceramiales, Rhodomelaceae) is still one of the most complex genera of Rhodophyta. In recent years some species of the genus have been transferred to other genera. However some species of this genus have only been introduced based on morphological characters from south of Iran, but modern molecular studies combined with morphological and anatomical studies can resolve most problems of this complicated groups of organisms. In this study Laurencia obtusa var. mollissima, L. obtusa var. compacta and L. dendroidea are reported for the first time from Bandar-Lengeh, Hengam and Qeshm Islands respectively in southern coastlines of Iran. Morpho-anatomical studies revealed the typical characteristics of the genus Laurencia, including four pericentral cells per each axial segment, presence of corpse en cerise per superficial cortical cell, parallel arrangement of tetrasporangia, presence of secondary pit connections and other specific features of this genus.

Abstract [Persian]

علی رغم مطالعات متعدد در مورد جنس Laurencia J.V. Lamouroux از راسته Ceramiales و خانواده Rhodomelaceae این جنس همچنان یکی از پیچیده ترین جنس های جلبک های قرمز از نظر سیستماتیکی به حساب می آید و در سال های اخیر تعدادی از گونه های این جنس به سایر جنس ها منتقل شده اند. تا به حال چندین گونه از این جنس در سواحل جنوبی ایران گزارش شده که تنها بر اساس صفات ریخت شناسی بوده است، درحالیکه با توجه به متغیر بودن ویژگی های ریخت شناسی، استفاده از صفات تشریحی در شناسایی صحیح گونه های این جنس بسیار حائز اهمیت است. L. obtusa var. mollissima و L. obtusa var. compacta و L. dendroidea برای اولین بار به ترتیب از سواحل بندر لنگه، جزیره هنگام و جزیره قشم در جنوب ایران جمع آوری شده اند، گزارش می گردند. صفات ریخت شناسی و تشریحی متمایزکننده این جنس مشتمل بر چهار سلول پری سنترال حول هر سلول محوری، حضور corpse en cerise در سلول های کورتیکال سطحی، آرایش موازی تتراسپورها، وجود ارتباطات ثانویه بین سلولی و سایر ویژگی­های خاص این جنس در این مطالعه مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند.
