Developmental studies onCabomba caroliniana gray

I. Ovule and carpel

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

InCabomba caroliniana the carpels arise as appendicular organs over the floral apex whereas the ovules arise on the adaxial surface of the carpel primordium. The growth of the ovule is traced from a developmental viewpoint. The nucellar tissue grows in height due to the presence of a characteristic meristem. We designate this as thebasal meristem.

Megasporogenesis is described and the embryo-sac development conforms to thePolygonum type.
