| Abstract | ||||
| Macromorphological characters, SEM of seed coat surface criteria, seed coat anatomy and seed protein electrophoresis aspects, were used to re-assess the taxonomic relationships between the genera Chaenomeles and Cydonia. Characters were analyzed by the NTsys-pc. program package, using the UPGMA clustering method. The dendrograms produced were discused and showed a close relationship between Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne and Cydonia oblonga Miller. The result gives support to the merging of the former taxon in the genus Cydonia as presented in Mabberley (1997). | ||||
