Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The embryology ofCymbopogon nardus var.confertiflorus, C. martinii var.Motia andC. parkeri has been studied.C. nardus andC. martinii have been observed to be seed-sterile owing to failure of fertilization while inC. parkeri, the seed-setting is only about 8·00%.
