Foliar Anatomy of some Amaranthus L. species (Amaranthaceae) in Iran
The genus Amaranthus (Amaranthaceae) includes about 60-75 species. Taxonomy of this genus is difficult due to high hybridization, domestication of some species, high morphological diversity, gene flow, and many intermediate forms that have been reported. The main purpose of this study was analyzing leaf anatomical characters for nine species of the genus and also evaluating the systematical efficiency of these characters. In this study the anatomical structure of the midrib, lamina and petiole was studied by light microscopy. These characters confirm the classification of species in the subgenus, section and subsection. In general it seems that the whole anatomical characters of the studied species can be effective in association with morphological characters.
