Phylogenetic Tree- Pollen Morphology



We generated this tree after reviewing the images retrieved from the SEM. The Larch and Rose both appear to be moncolpate and have one aperture each. In contrast, the Millet may be tricolpate and also has no aperture. This leads us to believe that the Larch and Rose are more closely related. The Larch and Millet do share similar surface texture in that they are both psilate. However the overall morphology seems to indicate that Larch and Rose would share a common ancestor before either share one with Millet.
