FRUIT AND SEED MORPHOLOGY OF JAPANESE LIGUSTRUM (LIGUSTRUM JAPONICUM) AND CHINESE LIGUSTRUM (LIGUSTRUM SINENSE)
Keywords:
ligustrum, tree, shrub, landscaping, fruit, seed, scale, sercule.Abstract
By studying the morphology of the fruits and seeds of Ligustrum species, we can gain information about these species. We also determined key characteristics of ligustrum fruits and seeds, such as size, shape, and texture, which will help us understand their classification and ecological role. These studies revealed that besides the aesthetic value of plants, fruits and seeds are also very valuable. The aim of this study was to study the fruit and seed morphology of Chinese ligustrum (Ligustrum sinense Lour.) and Japanese ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum Thunb). The study involved examining the fruits and seeds of several Chinese ligustrum and Japanese ligustrum plants and analyzing them using various morphological methods. In addition, studying the morphology of fruits and seeds of ligustrum species can provide important information for botanists, ecologists, and landscape designers interested in understanding the diversity and ecological impact of these plants.
