  "abstract": "<p>Our study includes 5 taxa out of 10 naturally growing taxa in Turkey:&nbsp;<em>C. orientalis</em>&nbsp;L. subsp.&nbsp;<em>orientalis</em>,&nbsp;<em>C. orientalis</em>&nbsp;L. subsp.&nbsp;<em>sulphurea</em>&nbsp;(Stapf ex O.E.Schulz) Prina,&nbsp;<em>C. tataria</em>&nbsp;Sebe&ouml;k var.&nbsp;<em>tataria</em>,&nbsp;<em>C. tataria</em>&nbsp;Sebe&ouml;k var.&nbsp;<em>aspera</em>&nbsp;(M.Bieb.) Boiss. and&nbsp;<em>C. maritima</em>&nbsp;L. The morphological characters of the pollen and seeds from the studied species of&nbsp;<em>Crambe</em>&nbsp;were given. Data obtained by light microscope, stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope were explained and summarized in Tables. As a result of our study, there are high similarities among taxa in means of pollen grains. Pollen shape is suprolate to prolate-spheroidal.&nbsp;<em>Crambe orientalis&nbsp;</em>subsp.&nbsp;<em>orientalis&nbsp;</em>had the biggest pollen grains with 25.90 &micro;m polar axis and 21.46 &micro;m equatorial axis lengths, while&nbsp;<em>Crambe orientalis&nbsp;</em>subsp.&nbsp;<em>sulphurea&nbsp;</em>had the smallest-sized pollen grains with 22.75 &micro;m polar axis and 21.07 &micro;m equatorial axis lengths. Seeds are brown to dark brown, elliptic to orbicular, with reticulate surface.&nbsp;<em>Crambe maritima&nbsp;</em>had the biggest seeds with 2.8-4.1 x 2.3-3.4 mm, while&nbsp;<em>Crambe orientalis&nbsp;</em>subsp.&nbsp;<em>sulphurea&nbsp;</em>had the smallest-sized seeds with 2.0-2.6 x 1.7-2.4 mm. Since the group has stenopalynous pollens, our investigation supports the use of seed surface patterns as a diagnostic characteristic for species level instead of pollen morphology.</p>",
