Pollen Morphology of A. glutinosa (L.) Gaertner subsp. glutinosa (Betulaceae)

The Betulaceae family includes six genus and these genera are grown naturally in North Hemisphere. The taxa belong to this family are anemogame. For this reason they produce too much pollen and these pollens have allergic effects . Alnus glutinosa subsp. antitaurica, A. glutinosa subsp. glutinosa, A. glutinosa subsp. barbata, A. orientalis var. orientalis, A. orientalis var. pubescens taxa that belong to the genus Alnus,from the Betulaceae familya re grown naturally in Turkey. The plants of A. glutinosa are the elements of Euro-Sib. This taxon is distrubited naturally in Black Sea Region. The pollens of A. glutinosa can cause to the pollinosis and allergic symptoms. The determination of palynological features of this taxon will be helpful for aeropalynological, taxonomic and pharmaceutical researches
