Structure and ontogeny of foliar nectaries and stomata inBignonia chamberlaynii Sims

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The present paper describes the distribution, structure, ontogeny, function of foliar nectaries and structure and ontogeny of stomata inBignonia chamberlaynii Sims. The mature nectaries are patelliform and originate from a single papillate epidermal cell. They consist of 1-layered base (foot), 2-layered stalk and 1-2-layered palisade-like epithelial cells which secrete sugary fluid.

Tha mature stomata are anisocytic, anomocytic, paracytic, perigenous (tetracytic and amphicyclic), with a single subsidiary cell. The ontogeny of anisocytic, paracytic and stomata with a single subsidiary cell conforms to the mesogenous type, while that of the anomocytic, tetracytic and amphicyclic ones is perigenous. Abnormalities noticed here are contiguous (juxtaposed and superposed) stomata, stomata with a single guard cell and aborted guard cells.
