应用光学显微镜观察安徽省产的14科31属35种(其中2变种)栽培作物的花粉形态,并归纳近缘种的鉴定特征。同时介绍这些栽培作物的地理分布、起源地、栽培历史等资料,并对典型栽培作物的生态指示意义进行讨论,为利用地层中相应化石花粉提供现代孢粉学资料和依据。
Pollen morphology was studied for 35 species (including two varieties) of cultivated crops representing 14 families, from Anhui Province. We summarize their pollen identification characteristics, their geographical distribution as cultivated crops, areas of origin, and cultivation history. Their ecological significance as cultivated crops is also discussed. Such pollen morphological investigations provide important diagnostic information towards identification of fossil and sub-fossil grains of related taxa, for example in archaeological settings.
