The stamen is an extremely important reproductive organ in angiosperms. Androecia are the
places where pollen is produced and show diversity in number and form; some are even …

In Menispermaceae, stamens can occur as free stamens or synandrous stamens, but few
studies have investigated the development of these different types. Androecium …

The stamens of angiosperms are diverse in number, colour and structure. The
morphological and structural changes of stamens show important evolutionary significance …

Floral ontogeny of two dioecious species in the Menispermaceae, Cocculus orbiculatus and
Stephania dielsiana, was compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In C …

Representatives of the family Commelinaceae are characterised by morphologically,
anatomically, or functionally diverse stamens (common presence of staminodia), which …

Flowers that have heteromorphic stamens (heterantherous flowers) have intrigued many
researchers ever since the phenomenon was discovered in the 19th century. The …

Menispermaceae is one of the core groups of Ranunculales. The single fertile ovule in each
ovary in Menispermaceae varies greatly in integument number, micropyle formation, and …

The androecial and gynoecial initiation in Aquilegia ecalcarata Maxim. and A. caerulea
James. were observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also the microspore …

Premise Staminodes are commonly studied in hermaphroditic flowers, in which a fraction of
the androecium evolves into infertile structures, but few studies have addressed the …

The developmental differences of the flowers between male and female plants of Actinidia
