Ontogeny of stomata in some Nymphaeaceae

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

In all the three species studied stomata are mostly confined to the upper epidermis but a few occur on the lower surface as well. Development is of the perigenous type. The reduction in number of cell divisions in and around the stomata in parasitic and aquatic plants is discussed.
