Embryological studies in Lotus glaber (Fabaceae)

The development of the female gametophyte and the pollen grain, the ultrastructure of the mature megagametophyte and the endothelial cells in Lotus glaber were examined. The anther wall development follows the dicotyledonous type. The tapetum is secretory, the microspore tetrads are tetrahedral and...
