Cytology of Endosperm in Oryza sativa L. and O.malampuzhenis Krishn. et Chandr..

Tapetal Cell Nuclear Characteristics of Some Kuwaiti Plants.

“…Incidence of polyploidy for all tapetal cells is known to be correlated to its role as secretory cells (D'Amato 1984). Similarly, nutritive tissues such as endosperm are shown to be characterized by the same mode of development (Annie and Nair 1992). Supportive evidence for the occurrence of high levels of endoploidy has been given by Chatterji and Jayaramu (1981) in four safflower cultivars as well as by Turala-Szybowska (1993) in diploid cytotypes of Ranunculus fluitans.…”
