Abstract

The genus Prangos Lindl. belongs to the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), subfamily Apioideae and tribe Apieae. This genus with about 45 species is one of the biggest genera of the family. Prangos includes 15 species in Iran, of which seven are endemics. In this study, the fruit anatomy of all species of the genus Prangos in Iran has been investigated comparatively based on the transverse sections of the mericarp. As a result, we could identify and group the species of this genus based on the anatomical features (similarities and differences among species) of the fruit. The species have been divided into four groups based on anatomical characteristics such as the mericarp structure, vallecular vittae, vascular bundle, and rib secretory ducts. Group I corresponds with two subgenera Koelzella (P. pabularia), and Prangos (sections Latilobae and Ulopterae), group II with subgenus Prangos sections Meliocarpoides and Prangos, group III subgenus Prangos with the remainder species of the section Prangos, and group IV with subgenus Prangos section Alococarpum. Anatomical studies also confirmed the morphological and anatomical differences among sections Alococarpum, Latilobae, Ulopterae, and other members of the genus. Furthermore, the anatomical features confirm the transformation of P. eriantha from Alococarpum to Prangos. In addition, based on fruit morphological and anatomical characteristics, a key for the identification of Prangos species has been provided.

Abstract [Persian]

جنس Prangos Lindl. به تیره چتریان (Apiaceae)، زیرتیره Apioideae و طایفه Apieae تعلق دارد. این جنس با 45 گونه یکی از بزرگترین جنس‌های تیره چتریان به شمار می‌آید. Prangos شامل 15 گونه در ایران است که 7 گونه از آنها انحصاری هستند. در این تحقیق، میوه همه گونه‌های جنس Prangos در ایران بر­اساس شکل مریکارپ در برش‌های عرضی به صورت مقایسه‌ای مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.در نتیجه می‌توان گونه‌های این جنس را با استفاده از ویژگی‌های تشریحی (شباهت‌ها و تفاوت‌های بین گونه‌ها) میوه شناسایی و گروه‌بندی کرد. گونه‌ها بر اساس ویژگی‌های تشریحی مانند ساختار مریکارپ، مجاری ترشحی بین پره‌ای، دستجات آوندی و مجاری ترشحی درون پره‌ای به چهار گروه تقسیم شدند. گروه اول با دو زیرجنس Koelzella (شامل P. pabularia) و Prangos (شامل بخش‌هایLatilobae  و Uloptera)، گروه دوم با زیرجنس Prangos (شامل بخش‌های Meliocarpoides و Prangos)، گروه سوم با زیرجنس Prangos و دیگر گونه‌های بخش  Prangosو گروه چهار با زیرجنس Prangos بخشAlococarpum مطابقت دارد. مطالعات تشریحی نیز تفاوت‌های ریخت‌شناسی و تشریحی بین بخش‌های Alococarpum،Latilobae ، Ulopterae و سایر اعضای این جنس را تایید کرد. همچنین ویژگی‌های تشریحی انتقال P. eriantha ازAlococarpum  به Prangos را تایید می‌کند. علاوه براین، بر اساس خصوصیات ریخت‌شناسی و تشریحی میوه، کلید شناسایی گونه‌های جنس Prangos ارائه شده است.
