Abstract: The pollen morphology of 8 species and 2 varieties of the Tribe Brassiceae from China and other countries was examined under LM and SEM. 4 speces and 2 varieties were palynologically reported here for the first time. The results showed that the pollen morphology of the Brassiceae above-mentioned was consistent basically, but some difference between them in pollen size, aperture (Crambe abyssinica, 4-colpate) and eaine sculpture was found. The present paper also found that the pollen size of these species might have certain correlationship with their chromosome numbers.

摘要： 对苦芸苔族8种2变种的花粉进行了光镜和扫描电镜观察。其中4种2变种为首次的报道。研究表明，芸苔族植物花粉形态特征基本一致，但在花粉大小、萌发孔类型以及外壁纹饰上种间存在一定的差异。同时发现该族植物的花粉大小与其染色体数有一定的相关性。
