Seed structure and histochemistry in the palm Euterpe edulis

The Euterpe edulis embryo consists of a prominent single cotyledon, a very short radicle-hypocotyl axis and an epicotyl. The epicotyl is obliquely angled with respect to the cotyledon; consequently it corresponds to one of the two categories recognized for palm seeds by DeMason (1988). Parenchyma, p...
