Apomixis and polyploidy have been important in the evolution of the angiosperms, and sporophytic apomixis has been associated with polyembryony and polyploidy in tropical floras. We studied the occurrence of polyembryony ...

Reproduction in flowering plants is closely related to the megagametophyte, since the megagametophyte is involved in pollen tube reception and contains the two female gametes-egg cell and central cell. Previous conventional ...

Ultrastructural studies on the female gametophyte are restricted to species at relatively derived positions in the angiosperm phylogenetic tree. Therefore, this topic remains mostly unknown for the early divergent lineages, ...

This is the first embryological report of the Grewioideae subfamily, which is meant to contribute to the characterisation of the genera Corchorus, Luehea and Triumfetta. Ovule and female gametophyte development in C. ...

‘Gynodioecy–dioecy’ is one of the pathways by which dioecy can arise from hermaphroditism. Studies on sex determination and development of gynodioecious systems have focused on temperate and/or annual species. Little is ...

Bromeliaceae owns a huge diversity of species in the Neotropical region, comprising about 3140 species, in which 551 consist of the genus Tillandsia. The article aims the descritption, of the anther development and ovule ...
