Developmental studies on leaf of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) and chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Early ontogeny of leaf has been described for brinjal and chilli. Both the plants show middle, submarginal type of growth. However, in brinjal the derivatives of the marginal initial, sometimes, divide periclinally. Thus, two types of marginal growth—middle submarginal type, and mixed type of marginal and submarginal types—hitherto a new report, have been reported in brinjal. Venation of the blade of the leaf and vein endings in particular have been studied. Extension cells are found between one vein and the vein ending of the another vein.
