Abstract:We conducted anatomical studies on glands of the Polygalaceae aiming at characterizing the morphology and function of the inflorescence glands of Caamembeca laureola (A.St.Hil & Moq.)

Standard techniques on plant anatomy were used for observation under light and scanning electron microscopies. Gland exudation starts at anthesis, and the secretory activity continues up to the fruiting… Show more
