SEED COAT SCLEREIDS IN CERTAIN PULSES

Abstract

Selereids present in the seed coats of various members belonging to the family Leguminosae have been investigated. With microtome sections and macerations of the seed coats, the type of sclereids and their arrangement have been studied. Macrosclereids and osteosclereids were noticed in all cases. These sclereids were arranged in compact manner in one or two layers below the epidermis of seed coat.

Keywords: Sclereids, Seed Coat, Legumes
