Sporogenesis and gametogenesis in some Cyperaceae

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The paper is an account of some salient embryological features in four genera and five species belonging to the family Cyperaceae (Eleocharis atropurpurea, E. congesta, Fimbristylis tetragona, Fuirena trilobites andScirpus lateriflorus). InE. atropurpurea double pollen grains are occasionally observed. Their significance in systematic considerations of the family is discussed. The development of the female gametophyte conforms to thePolygonum type.
