Histochemical and ultrastructural studies on Salix alba and S. matsudana seeds

Mature seeds of Salix alba L. and Salix matsudana Koidz. are exendospermous and consist of an embryo and a seed coat. Ultrastructural studies show the presence of protein bodies, lipid bodies, chloroplasts, and a nucleus in the cells of most of the embryo tissues. Protein bodies always contain two o...
