USE OF MICROSCOPY TO ESTABLISH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SEEDS OF WEED SPECIES AMARANTHUS BLITOIDES L. AND AMARANTHUS ALBUS L
Abstract
Seed material of two species of scorpion - Amaranthus retrofl exus L. and Amaranthus hybridus L. - was used for the scanning electron microscopy. From each species, 30 seeds cultivated during different years were analyzed for the objectivity and stability of the traits studied. Samples were investigated and analyzed from whole seeds and samples from seeds after the done cross section. The objects were directly under observation without preliminary physical and chemical treatment. Biometric indices were also taken for seed sizes of two types of shin with the help of a digital microscope. The meridian axis of the seed and the equatorial diameter were measured and the reliability of the difference was determined through the Student’s test.
