Study of ovule and megagametophyte development in four species of subtribe phaseolinae (Leguminosae)

Ovule development, megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis were studied in Macroptilium bracteatum, Phaseolus augusti, P. vulgaris var. aborigineus and Vigna adenantha to elucidate their taxonomic position. The ovule is anacampylotropous, bitegmic and crassinucellate. Megaspore tetrads are linear in...
