We conducted a literature review on the taxonomic importance of seed micromorphology in the genus Riv. ex L. (Balsaminaceae), focusing on studies using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Of 47 sources, SEM descriptions were available for more than 180 species, revealing significant gaps in micromorphological data within the genus. Our work provides a consolidated resource on taxonomy and highlights the need for further SEM studies to improve species identification and phylogenetic analysis.
我们对裂果金花属(Riv. ex L.,凤仙花科)种子微观形态学的分类学重要性进行了文献综述,重点关注使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)的研究。在47个资料来源中,有超过180个物种的扫描电子显微镜描述,揭示了该属微观形态学数据存在显著空白。我们的工作提供了一份关于分类学的综合资源,并强调了进一步进行扫描电子显微镜研究以改善物种鉴定和系统发育分析的必要性。
