Pollen, tapetum and orbicule development in Modiolastrum malvifolium (Malvaceae)
• Background and Aims: Although orbicular functions are still a matter of debate, they are considered by most authors to be exclusively formed by a secretory tapetum. However, the presence of orbicules on a peritapetal membrane associated with a plasmodial tapetum has been described for Abutilon pic...

• Background and Aims: Although orbicular functions are still a matter of debate, they are considered by most authors to be exclusively formed by a secretory tapetum.
